Definitions
- the present invention relates to improvements to methods and devices for continuous hydrostatic extrusion.
- the applicant has described a process and an apparatus opening the way to an industrial implementation of the hydrostatic extrusion of a blank of indefinite length.
- the blank to be extruded is firstly formed to reveal two substantially parallel flat faces, then introduced into a channel formed by two coaxial members in relative motion, the movable member called “rotor ", carrying a groove of revolution deeper than wide, traced on its surface and comprising two substantially parallel lateral faces, the other member called” stator "forming with the bleed a channel closed by a lug secured to the fixed member and carrying , at least, a sector.
- the blank surrounded on all sides by a viscous liquid, is driven towards the die by the forces developed in the fluid by the rotor, without there being direct contact, metal on metal, between the blank and the rotor walls, unlike what occurred in previous processes, such as that described in French patents 2,128,843 and 2,197,665.
- the blank to be extruded is applied to the walls or the bottom of the groove formed in the rotor, under the action of the viscous fluid, in such a way that said blank is driven by the rotor without sliding, towards an extrusion chamber from which it is spontaneously extruded through a die.
- the viscous fluid is brought above the product to be extruded, at the extrusion pressure in the vicinity of the die and at lower pressures at one or more points located between the inlet of the product and "the die.
- the pressure of the viscous fluid above the product is such that the adhesion of the two generators of the product in contact with the sides of the trapezoidal groove is sufficient to ensure the entrainment of the product by metal-metal contact, without sliding relative to the rotor.
- the die out of the groove, which allows it to be made more accessible and to be dimensioned more widely. From the outlet of the groove to the die, the product passes through a chamber formed in the stator where the extrusion pressure prevails, called the isostatic chamber.
- the working pressure can reach 1600 MPa and the average leakage rate of the viscous fluid is of the order of 25 to 30 milliliters per second. Given the efficiency, this corresponds to a pumping power which is in the range of 50 to 100 kilowatts.
- the pressure multipliers with large flow rates are subjected to very hard work and the entire apparatus requires relatively large and expensive maintenance.
- the object of the present invention is an improvement of the process and of the hydrostatic extrusion device which have just been described.
- the improved method relates to the continuous hydrostatic extrusion of a first object, called a blank, of indefinite length, into a second object of equally indefinite length, but of different cross section, in which the blank, surrounded by a substantial quantity of '' a viscous fluid, is introduced into a groove, cut in a drive rotor and facing a stator forming a cover, applied to the rotor, directly receiving, by an introduction means, the viscous fluid called motor fluid, in which is generated by a progressive penetration of a step of the cover into the groove, a progressive pressure growth of the entry point, at ambient pressure up to the isostatic chamber where the extrusion pressure prevails, thus ensuring at all points sufficient adhesion for the movement of the rotor to drive said blank with negligible sliding upstream, at ambient pressure downstream, at the entrance to the isostatic chamber from which it escapes by hydrostatic extrusion through, at least, a die orifice.
- the working fluid located in the groove has a viscosity greater than that of the fluid located in the vicinity of the die, which allows greater clearance between the rotor and the stator, without increasing the leakage rate.
- the fact that the working fluid, initially introduced under low or zero pressure, is brought under the high pressure necessary under the effect of the rotation of the rotor makes it possible to eliminate the costly and relatively fragile pressure multipliers.
- Each viscous fluid (the driving fluid contained in the bleeding and the fluid located in the vicinity of the die) can be chosen from solid, liquid, liquefied, pasty, pulverulent substances, having a flowability under the conditions of temperature and pressure prevailing in the bleeding and in the isostatic chamber. In this way, the choice is extremely wide.
- fatty acid salts such as oleates, sebacates, palmitates, stearates
- calcium stearate such as calcium stearate, mineral powders or organic, for example powders in granules of polyvinyl chloride, polyolefins, polytetrafluorocarbon etc ...
- the fluid located in the isostatic chamber it can be given a viscosity lower than that of the working fluid located in the groove, by several means, either by heating the isostatic chamber, either by cooling the groove, or by introducing in the isostatic chamber a fluid having, by its nature, a viscosity lower than that of the working fluid located in the groove.
- This fluid can be a liquid, such as a liquid hydrocarbon, but also a gas liquefied under the pressure prevailing in the isostatic chamber: for example butane, propane, carbon dioxide.
- the implementation of the process is linked to the viscosity of the fluids used and the viscosity itself being dependent, under a given pressure, on the temperature, it is important to be able to maintain the temperature of the fluid (s), as well in the bleeding only in the isostatic chamber at a suitable value, that is to say heating to reduce the viscosity, or cooling to eliminate the heat given off by the extrusion process and increase the viscosity of the fluid (s).
- the improved device which is also an object of the invention, and which allows the continuous hydrostatic extrusion of a first object known as a blank, of indefinite length, into a second object of equally indefinite length, but of different section, comprises two cooperating coaxial members, one mobile said rotor carrying, traced on its surface, a groove of revolution receiving the blank to be extruded, the other fixed, said stator, forming a first sector of the groove containing the blank and the fluid motor, a cover that is substantially leaktight with respect to said fluid, the stator also comprising, in a second sector of the groove, located downstream from the previous one, a relief known as a lug completely obstructing the cross-section of the groove and exactly adjusted to it ci, to make it sufficiently tight vis-à-vis the working fluid, the stator comprising a means for feeding the bleeding in working fluid, as well as an orifice located opposite the first sector of the bleeding, in the vicinity of the seco nd sector and opening, by an elongated conduit crossing the
- the isostatic chamber is provided with a closable orifice which can be connected to a means of injection, under pressure, of a fluid with a viscosity lower than that of the working fluid.
- the blank (1) is arranged in the trapezoidal section groove (2) formed in the rotor (3).
- the blank rests on the sides of the groove, but it is driven without sliding, that is to say without metal-to-metal friction.
- the fluid pressure is generated by the spiral step (4) of the stator, as in patent FR 2,310,813.
- a groove (5) with parallel faces FIG. 2
- the blank is entirely surrounded by the working fluid, without contact between the blank and the walls of the groove.
- the stator (6) may include one or more pluriears (7) locally connecting the groove of the rotor to a radial duct (8). It is thus possible to adjust the pressure in the corresponding zone of the groove by injecting through the orifice or orifices (7) a supplement of working fluid, or, on the contrary, by allowing the escape of a surplus.
- the working fluid can no longer necessarily be a "fluid" in the conventional sense of the term, but any substance li--; solid, liquified, pasty or pulverulent, or even solid, possessing, under the conditions of temperature and pressure prevailing in the bleeding and in the extrusion chamber, a flowability.
- a certain number of powders, and in particular the fatty acid salts possessed, under the pressures used, of the order of several thousand bars, a flowability which allows their use.
- powders or granules of polyvinyl chloride, of polyolefins (polyethylene), polytetrafluorocarbon, are suitable for the implementation of the invention.
- This fluid can be any liquid hydrocarbon, natural or synthetic oils, or even simple petroleum (also called kerosene).
- the viscosity of a substance decreases, under a given pressure, when the temperature rises, it may be advantageous to provide the extrusion device with known means for bringing the temperature of the fluid, locally or in its together at a suitable value.
- This is how we can either heat the isostatic chamber or cool the groove (and possibly the blank), so that the fluid located in the groove has a viscosity higher than that of the fluid located in the chamber. isostatic, in accordance with the invention. If the viscous fluid is calcium stearate, it is possible, for example, to heat the isostatic chamber in the vicinity of or above its melting point which is 180 ° C. One can, incidentally, cool the die which generally tends to heat up by the very process of extrusion.
- the blank may be advantageous to preheat the blank to increase its deformability.
- a different fluid than the one in the groove is injected into the isostatic chamber, in the vicinity of the die, it is necessary to use a small pressure multiplier, but it should be noted that this multiplier works at high pressure under a low flow rate, because there is no other leakage at this level than the thin film of fluid entrained by the extruded product and which is used to lubricate the die and this leakage is very low.
- a copper blank 10 millimeters in diameter was introduced, driven at a speed of 0.50 meters per second.
- the working fluid is calcium stearate powder.
- the active part of the rotor shown diagrammatically in Figure 5 by the thickened part of the outer circle, has a length of 2.5 meters and the groove has a section of 80 x 10 mm at the entrance, gradually decreasing, according to the diagram in figure 5, up to 20 x 10 at the inlet of the channel (12), leading to the die, the outlet diameter of which is 2 mm, this arrangement ensuring the pressure gradient along the groove up to the chamber isostatic.
- the powder is injected through the orifice (13) under a low or zero pressure which increases up to approximately 1500 MPz at the inlet of the canai (12),
- the blank advances with the rotor because the adhesion force of the blank in the powder is greater than the reverse push, which would tend to
- Example 2 The operation was carried out under conditions identical to those of Example 1, but the orifice (11) was closed and the area of the isostatic chamber was heated so as to bring its temperature to 180 ° C., corresponding to the point starting liquefaction of calcium stearate.
- fatty acid salts can be used as "viscous fluid" under conditions comparable to those which have just been described.

Description
La présente invention concerne des perfectionnements aux procédés et dispositifs d'extrusion hydrostatique continue.The present invention relates to improvements to methods and devices for continuous hydrostatic extrusion.
On sait, depuis les travaux de P.W. BRIDGMAN, que la ductilité de beaucoup de métaux et alliages croît lorsqu'on leur applique une pression croissante et qu'on peut les déformer sans fracture, et, notamment les extruder au travers d'une filière, sous des pressions très élevées. Ces travaux ont été publiés, en particulier, dans l'ouvrage "Large Plastic Flow and Fracture" publié par Mc GRAW-HILL, New York, en 1952 et ont fait l'objet du brevet US 2.558.035.We know, since the work of PW BRIDGMAN, that the ductility of many metals and alloys increases when an increasing pressure is applied to them and that we can deform them without fracture, and, in particular extrude them through a die, under very high pressures. These works were published, in particular, in the book "Large Plastic Flow and Fracture" published by Mc GRAW-HILL, New York, in 1952 and were the subject of the patent US 2,558,035.
Mais, toutes les tentatives pour mettre en oeuvre l'effet BRIDGMAN, en vue d'extruder une ébauche de longueur indéfinie, se sont heurtées à la complexité des appareillages et n'ont pas abouti jusqu'à présent, à une exploitation industrielle.However, all the attempts to implement the BRIDGMAN effect, with a view to extruding a blank of indefinite length, have come up against the complexity of the apparatus and have not so far resulted in industrial exploitation.
Dans ses brevets FR 2.310.813 et FR 2.373.339, la demanderesse a décrit un procédé et un appareillage ouvrant la voie à.une mise en oeuvre industrielle de l'extrusion hydrostatique d'une ébauche de longueur indéfinie. Selon le premier de ces brevets, l'ébauche à extruder est tout d'abord cor- formée pour faire apparaître deux faces plates sensiblement parallèles, puis introduite dans un canal formé par deux organes coaxiaux en mouvement relatif, l'organe mobile dit "rotor", portant une saignée de révolution plus profonde que large, tracée à sa surface et comportant deux faces latérales sensiblement parallèles, l'autre organe dit"stator" formant avec la saignée un canal obturé par un ergot solidaire de l'organe fixe et portant, au moins, une filière. L'ébauche, entourée sur toutes ses faces par un liquide visqueux, est entraînée vers la filière par les forces développées dans le fluide par le rotor, sans qu'il y ait de contact direct, métal sur métal, entre l'ébauche et les parois du rotor, contrairement à ce qui se produisait dans les procédés antérieurs, tels que celui décrit dans les brevets français 2.128.843 et 2.197.665.In its patents FR 2,310,813 and FR 2,373,339, the applicant has described a process and an apparatus opening the way to an industrial implementation of the hydrostatic extrusion of a blank of indefinite length. According to the first of these patents, the blank to be extruded is firstly formed to reveal two substantially parallel flat faces, then introduced into a channel formed by two coaxial members in relative motion, the movable member called "rotor ", carrying a groove of revolution deeper than wide, traced on its surface and comprising two substantially parallel lateral faces, the other member called" stator "forming with the bleed a channel closed by a lug secured to the fixed member and carrying , at least, a sector. The blank, surrounded on all sides by a viscous liquid, is driven towards the die by the forces developed in the fluid by the rotor, without there being direct contact, metal on metal, between the blank and the rotor walls, unlike what occurred in previous processes, such as that described in French patents 2,128,843 and 2,197,665.
Selon le second de ces brevets, 2.373.339, qui constitue un perfectionnement du premier, l'ébauche à extruder est appliquée sur les parois ou le fond de la saignée pratiquée dans le rotor, sous l'action du fluide visqueux, de façon telle que ladite ébauche soit entraînée par le rotor sans glissement, en direction d'une chambre d'extrusion d'où elle est spontanément extrudée au travers d'une filière.According to the second of these patents, 2,373,339, which constitutes an improvement on the first, the blank to be extruded is applied to the walls or the bottom of the groove formed in the rotor, under the action of the viscous fluid, in such a way that said blank is driven by the rotor without sliding, towards an extrusion chamber from which it is spontaneously extruded through a die.
Le fluide visqueux est amené au-dessus du produit à extruder, à la pression d'extrusion au voisinage de la filière et à des pressions plus faibles en un ou plusieurs points situés entre l'entrée du produit et"la filière. La répartition de la pression du fluide visqueux au-dessus du produit est telle que l'adhérence des deux génératrices du produit au contact avec les flancs de la saignée trapézoidale est suffisante pour assurer l'entraînement du produit par contact métal-métal, sans glissement par rapport au rotor.The viscous fluid is brought above the product to be extruded, at the extrusion pressure in the vicinity of the die and at lower pressures at one or more points located between the inlet of the product and "the die. the pressure of the viscous fluid above the product is such that the adhesion of the two generators of the product in contact with the sides of the trapezoidal groove is sufficient to ensure the entrainment of the product by metal-metal contact, without sliding relative to the rotor.
Dans ce dispositif, on a, de plus, disposé la filière hors de la saignée, ce qui permet de la rendre plus accessible et de la dimensionner plus largement. De la sortie de la saignée jusqu'à la filière, le produit traverse une chambre ménagée dans le stator où règne la pression d'extrusion, dite chambre isostatique.In this device, we have, in addition, arranged the die out of the groove, which allows it to be made more accessible and to be dimensioned more widely. From the outlet of the groove to the die, the product passes through a chamber formed in the stator where the extrusion pressure prevails, called the isostatic chamber.
Bien que ces procédés et le dispositif de mise en oeuvre fonctionnent de façon tout à fait satisfaisante, un certain nombre d'inconvénients sont apparus, en particulier en ce qui concerne la puissance de pompage du liquide visqueux. En effet, la pression du travail peut atteindre 1600 MPa et le débit de fuite moyen du fluide visqueux est de l'ordre de 25 à 30 millilitres par seconde. Compte tenu du rendement, cela correspond à une puissance de pompage qui se situe dans la gamme de 50 à 100 kilowatts. En outre, sous cette pression élevée, les multiplicateurs de pression à gros débits sont soumis à un travail très dur et l'ensemble de l'appareillage nécessite un entretien relativement important et onéreux.Although these methods and the implementation device work quite satisfactorily, a certain number of drawbacks have appeared, in particular with regard to the pumping power of the viscous liquid. Indeed, the working pressure can reach 1600 MPa and the average leakage rate of the viscous fluid is of the order of 25 to 30 milliliters per second. Given the efficiency, this corresponds to a pumping power which is in the range of 50 to 100 kilowatts. In addition, under this high pressure, the pressure multipliers with large flow rates are subjected to very hard work and the entire apparatus requires relatively large and expensive maintenance.
L'objet de la présente invention est un perfectionnement du procédé et du dispositif d'extrusion hydrostatique qui viennent d'être décrits.The object of the present invention is an improvement of the process and of the hydrostatic extrusion device which have just been described.
Le procédé perfectionné concerne l'extrusion hydrostatique continue d'un premier objet, dit .ébauche, de longueur indéfinie, en un second objet de longueur également indéfinie, mais de section différente, dans lequel l'ébauche, entourée d'une quantité substantielle d'un fluide visqueux, est introduite dans une saignée, taillée dans un rotor d'entraînement et faisant face à un stator formant couvercle, appliqué sur le rotor, recevant directement, par un moyen d'introduction, le fluide visqueux dit fluide moteur, dans lequel est engendré par une pénétration progressive d'un redan du couvercle dans la saignée, une pression progressivem croissance du point d'entrée, à la pression ambiante jusqu'à la chambre isostatique où règne la pression d'extrusion assurant ainsi en tous points une adhérence suffisante pour que le mouvement du rotor entraîne ladite ébauche avec un glissement négligeable de l'amont, à la pression ambiante jusque vers l'aval, à l'entrée de la chambre isostatique d'où elle s'échappe par extrusion hydrostatique à travers, au moins, un orifice de filière. Il est caractérisé en ce que le fluide moteur situé dans la saignée possède une viscosité supérieure à celle du fluide situé au voisinage de la filière, ce qui autorise des jeux de fonctionnement entre rotor et stator plus importants, sans augmenter le débit de fuite. En outre, le fait que le fluide moteur, introduit initialement sous pression faible ou nulle, est amené sous la haute pression nécessaire sous l'effet de la rotation du rotor, permet de supprimer les multiplicateurs de pression coûteux et relativement fragiles.The improved method relates to the continuous hydrostatic extrusion of a first object, called a blank, of indefinite length, into a second object of equally indefinite length, but of different cross section, in which the blank, surrounded by a substantial quantity of '' a viscous fluid, is introduced into a groove, cut in a drive rotor and facing a stator forming a cover, applied to the rotor, directly receiving, by an introduction means, the viscous fluid called motor fluid, in which is generated by a progressive penetration of a step of the cover into the groove, a progressive pressure growth of the entry point, at ambient pressure up to the isostatic chamber where the extrusion pressure prevails, thus ensuring at all points sufficient adhesion for the movement of the rotor to drive said blank with negligible sliding upstream, at ambient pressure downstream, at the entrance to the isostatic chamber from which it escapes by hydrostatic extrusion through, at least, a die orifice. It is characterized in that the working fluid located in the groove has a viscosity greater than that of the fluid located in the vicinity of the die, which allows greater clearance between the rotor and the stator, without increasing the leakage rate. In addition, the fact that the working fluid, initially introduced under low or zero pressure, is brought under the high pressure necessary under the effect of the rotation of the rotor, makes it possible to eliminate the costly and relatively fragile pressure multipliers.
Chaque fluide visqueux (le fluide moteur contenu dans la saignée et le fluide situé au voisinage de la filière) peut être choisi parmi les substances solides, liquides, liquéfiées, pâteuses, pulvérulentes, pos- sèdant une aptitude à l'écoulement dans les conditions de température et de pression régnant dans la saignée et dans la chambre isostatique. De cette façon, le choix est extrêmement large. Parmi les substances convenant à la mise en oeuvre de l'invention, on peut citer des sels d'acides gras (tels qu'oléates, sébacates, palmitates, stéarates), et, en particulier, le stéarate de calcium, des poudres minérales ou organiques, par exemple des poudres en granulés de chlorure de polyvinyle, de polyoléfines, de polytétrafluorocarbone etc...Each viscous fluid (the driving fluid contained in the bleeding and the fluid located in the vicinity of the die) can be chosen from solid, liquid, liquefied, pasty, pulverulent substances, having a flowability under the conditions of temperature and pressure prevailing in the bleeding and in the isostatic chamber. In this way, the choice is extremely wide. Among the substances suitable for the implementation of the invention, there may be mentioned fatty acid salts (such as oleates, sebacates, palmitates, stearates), and, in particular, calcium stearate, mineral powders or organic, for example powders in granules of polyvinyl chloride, polyolefins, polytetrafluorocarbon etc ...
En ce qui concerne le fluide situé dans la chambre isostatique, on peut lui conférer une viscosité inférieure à celle du fluide moteur situé dans la saignée, par plusieurs moyens, soit en chauffant la chambre isostatique, soit en refroidissant la saignée, soit encore en introduisant dans la chambre isostatique un fluide ayant, par nature, une viscosité inférieure à celle du fluide moteur situé dans la saignée. Ce fluide peut être un liquide, tel qu'un hydrocarbure liquide, mais aussi un gaz liquéfié sous la pression régnant dans la chambre isostatique : par exemple du butane, du propane, du dioxyde de carbone.With regard to the fluid located in the isostatic chamber, it can be given a viscosity lower than that of the working fluid located in the groove, by several means, either by heating the isostatic chamber, either by cooling the groove, or by introducing in the isostatic chamber a fluid having, by its nature, a viscosity lower than that of the working fluid located in the groove. This fluid can be a liquid, such as a liquid hydrocarbon, but also a gas liquefied under the pressure prevailing in the isostatic chamber: for example butane, propane, carbon dioxide.
Par ailleurs, la mise en oeuvre du procédé étant liée à la viscosité des fluides utilisés et la viscosité étant elle-même dépendante, sous une pression donnée, de la température, il est important de pouvoir maintenir la température du ou des fluides, aussi bien dans la saignée que dans la chambre isostatique à une valeur convenable, soit que l'on chauffe pour diminuer la viscosité, soit que l'on refroidisse pour éliminer la chaleur dégagée par le processus d'extrusion et augmenter la viscosité du ou des fluides.Furthermore, since the implementation of the process is linked to the viscosity of the fluids used and the viscosity itself being dependent, under a given pressure, on the temperature, it is important to be able to maintain the temperature of the fluid (s), as well in the bleeding only in the isostatic chamber at a suitable value, that is to say heating to reduce the viscosity, or cooling to eliminate the heat given off by the extrusion process and increase the viscosity of the fluid (s).

Le dispositif perfectionné, qui est également un objet de l'invention, et qui permet l'extrusion hydrostatique continue d'un premier objet dit ébauche, de longueur indéfinie, en un second objet de longueur également indéfinie, mais de section différente, comporte deux organes coaxiaux coopérant, l'un mobile dit rotor portant, tracée à sa surface, une saignée de révolution recevant l'ébauche à extruder, l'autre fixe, dit stator, formant un premier secteur de la saignée contenant l'ébauche et le fluide moteur, un couvercle sensiblement étanche vis-à-vis dudit fluide, le stator comportant également dans un deuxième secteur de la saignée, situé en aval du précédent, un relief dit ergot obstruant en totalité la section de la saignée et exactement ajusté à celle-ci, pour la rendre suffisamment étanche vis-à-vis du fluide moteur, le stator comportant un moyen d'alimentation de la saignée en fluide moteur, ainsi qu'un orifice situé en face du premier secteur de la saignée, au voisinage du second secteur et débouchant, par un conduit allongé traversant le stator, dans une chambre isostatique communiquant vers l'extérieur au travers d'au moins un orifice de filière, le moyen d'alimentation en fluide moteur, engendrant dans le premier secteur de la saignée un gradient de pression du point d'entrée, à la pression ambiante jusqu'à l'entrée du conduit débouchant dans la chambre isostatique où règne la pression d'extrusion. Il est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte des moyens de régulation de la température de chaque fluide. Il est également caractérisé en ce que la chambre isostatique est munie d'un orifice obturable qui peut être raccordé à un moyen d'injection, sous pression, d'unfluide d'une viscosité inférieure à celle du fluide moteur. ,The improved device, which is also an object of the invention, and which allows the continuous hydrostatic extrusion of a first object known as a blank, of indefinite length, into a second object of equally indefinite length, but of different section, comprises two cooperating coaxial members, one mobile said rotor carrying, traced on its surface, a groove of revolution receiving the blank to be extruded, the other fixed, said stator, forming a first sector of the groove containing the blank and the fluid motor, a cover that is substantially leaktight with respect to said fluid, the stator also comprising, in a second sector of the groove, located downstream from the previous one, a relief known as a lug completely obstructing the cross-section of the groove and exactly adjusted to it ci, to make it sufficiently tight vis-à-vis the working fluid, the stator comprising a means for feeding the bleeding in working fluid, as well as an orifice located opposite the first sector of the bleeding, in the vicinity of the seco nd sector and opening, by an elongated conduit crossing the stator, in an isostatic chamber communicating towards the exterior through at least one die orifice, the means for supplying motive fluid, generating in the first sector of the groove a pressure gradient from the entry point, at ambient pressure up to the entry of the conduit opening into the isostatic chamber where the extrusion pressure prevails. It is characterized in that it includes means for regulating the temperature of each fluid. It is also characterized in that the isostatic chamber is provided with a closable orifice which can be connected to a means of injection, under pressure, of a fluid with a viscosity lower than that of the working fluid. ,
Par source de simplification, nous désignons par le terme de "fluide" toute substance liquide ou liquifiée, pâteuse ou pulvérulente ou même solide, possédant dans les conditions de température et de pression règnant dans le dispositif une aptitude à l'écoulement.By source of simplification, we designate by the term "fluid" any liquid or liquified substance, pasty or pulverulent or even solid, having under the conditions of temperature and pressure prevailing in the device a flowability.
- Les figures et les exemples qui suivent, permettront de préciser la mise en oeuvre de l'invention.The figures and examples which follow will make it possible to specify the implementation of the invention.
- Les figures 1 et 2 montrent deux profils de la saignée dans laquelle l'ébauche est entraînée.Figures 1 and 2 show two profiles of the groove in which the blank is entrained.
- La figure 3 représente la filière au travers de laquelle l'ébauche est extrudée.Figure 3 shows the die through which the blank is extruded.
- La figure 4 montre la disposition générale du dispositif d'extrusion selon l'invention.Figure 4 shows the general arrangement of the extrusion device according to the invention.
- La figure 5 schématise l'évolution de la pression dans la saignée. .Figure 5 shows schematically the evolution of the pressure in the bleeding. .
. L'ébauche (1) est disposée dans la saignée à section trapézoidale (2) pratiquée dans le rotor (3). Dans ce cas, l'ébauche s'appuie sur les flans de la saignée, mais elle est entraînée sans glissement, c'est-à-dire sans friction métal sur métal. La pression de fluide est générée par le redan en spirale (4) du stator, comme dans le brevet FR 2.310.813. Mais il est également possible d'adopter une saignée (5) à faces parallèles (figure 2), dans laquelle l'ébauche est entièrement entourée par .le fluide moteur, sans contact entre l'ébauche et les parois de la saignée.. The blank (1) is arranged in the trapezoidal section groove (2) formed in the rotor (3). In this case, the blank rests on the sides of the groove, but it is driven without sliding, that is to say without metal-to-metal friction. The fluid pressure is generated by the spiral step (4) of the stator, as in patent FR 2,310,813. However, it is also possible to adopt a groove (5) with parallel faces (FIG. 2), in which the blank is entirely surrounded by the working fluid, without contact between the blank and the walls of the groove.
Le stator (6) peut comporter un ou plasiears oridiees (7) reliant localement la saignée du rotor à un conduit radial (8). On peut ainsi ajuste la pression dans la zone correspondante de la saignée en injectant par l'orifice ou les orifices (7) un complément de fluide moteur, ou, au contraire, en permettant l'échappement d'un excédent.The stator (6) may include one or more pluriears (7) locally connecting the groove of the rotor to a radial duct (8). It is thus possible to adjust the pressure in the corresponding zone of the groove by injecting through the orifice or orifices (7) a supplement of working fluid, or, on the contrary, by allowing the escape of a surplus.
On a découvert que le fluide moteur pouvant ne plus être obligatoirement un "fluide" au sens classique du terme, mais toute substance li-- ; quide, liquifiée, pâteuse ou pulvérulente, ou même solide, possédant dans les conditions de température et de pression régnant dans la saignée et dans la chambre d'extrusion, une aptitude à l'écoulement. En particulier, on a découvert qu'un certain nombre de poudres et notamment les sels d'acides gras, possédaient sous les pressions mises en oeuvre, de l'ordre de plusieurs milliers de bars, une aptitude à l'écoulement qui permet leur emploi à la fois comme agent de transmission de la pression hydrostatique et comme agent moteur de l'ébauche à extruder, mais, du fait de leur "viscosité" très élevée, pour autant qu'on puisse parler de viscosité dans le cas d'une substance qui n'est pas réellement fluide, le débit de fuite au niveau des différents jeux de fonctionnement est extrêmement faible. Comme la puissance du groupe de pompage est égale (au rendement près) au produit du débit de fuite par la pression, il en résulte que la puissance nécessaire est abaissée de façon considérable par rapport à celle qui est nécessaire dans le cas d'un fluide visqueux classique, tel que les huiles naturelles ou synthétiques.It has been discovered that the working fluid can no longer necessarily be a "fluid" in the conventional sense of the term, but any substance li--; solid, liquified, pasty or pulverulent, or even solid, possessing, under the conditions of temperature and pressure prevailing in the bleeding and in the extrusion chamber, a flowability. In particular, it has been discovered that a certain number of powders, and in particular the fatty acid salts, possessed, under the pressures used, of the order of several thousand bars, a flowability which allows their use. both as a hydrostatic pressure transmitting agent and as a driving agent for the blank to be extruded, but, because of their very high "viscosity", as far as we can speak of viscosity in the case of a substance which is not really fluid, the leak rate at the various operating clearances is extremely low. As the power of the pumping unit is equal (to the nearest yield) to the product of the leakage rate by the pressure, it follows that the power required is lowered considerably compared to that which is necessary in the case of a fluid. conventional viscous, such as natural or synthetic oils.
De même, des poudres ou granulés de chlorure de polyvinyle, de polyoléfines (polyéthylène), polytétrafluorocarbone, conviennent pour la mise en oeuvre de l'invention.Likewise, powders or granules of polyvinyl chloride, of polyolefins (polyethylene), polytetrafluorocarbon, are suitable for the implementation of the invention.
Cependant, il est parfois difficile de concilier dans le même fluide les caractéristiques différentes exigées par l'étanchéité, d'une part, (faible débit de fuite) et par l'extrusion d'autre part (aptitude du fluide à la lubrification de la filière).However, it is sometimes difficult to reconcile in the same fluid the different characteristics required by sealing, on the one hand, (low leakage rate) and by extrusion on the other hand (ability of the fluid to lubricate the Faculty).
Il est alors possible d'utiliser soit un même fluide sous deux états différents, soit deux fluides différents, par exemple une poudre de stéarate comme fluide moteur et un produit à plus faible viscosité dans la chambre isostatique (9) au voisinage de la filière (10) injecté, par exemple, par l'orifice (11). Ce fluide peut être un hydrocarbure liquide quelconque, des huiles naturelles ou synthétiques, ou même du simple pétrole (également appelé kérosène).It is then possible to use either the same fluid in two different states, or two different fluids, for example a stearate powder as the driving fluid and a product with lower viscosity in the isostatic chamber (9) in the vicinity of the die ( 10) injected, for example, through the orifice (11). This fluid can be any liquid hydrocarbon, natural or synthetic oils, or even simple petroleum (also called kerosene).
Comme, par ailleurs, la viscosité d'une substance diminue, sous une pression donnée, quand la température s'élève, il peut être avantageux de munir le dispositif d'extrusion de moyens connus pour porter la température du fluide, localement ou dans son ensemble, à une valeur convenable. C'est ainsi que l'on peut, soit chauffer la chambre isostatique, soit refroidir la saignée (et, éventuellement l'ébauche), de façon que le fluide situé dans la saignée ait une viscosité supérieure à celle du fluide situé dans la chambre isostatique, conformément à l'invention. Si le fluide visqueux est du stéarate de calcium, on peut, par exemple, chauffer la chambre isostatique au voisinage ou au-dessus de son point de fusion qui est 180°C. On peut, accessoirement, refroidir la filière qui a généralement tendance à s'échauffer par le processus même d'extrusion. De même, dans certains cas, il peut être avantageux de préchauffer l'ébauche pour augmenter son aptitude à la déformation. Dans le cas où l'on injecte dans la chambre isostatique, au voisinage de la filière, un fluide différent de celui qui est dans la saignée, il faut utiliser pourcela un petit multiplicateur de pression.'Mais, il faut remarquer que ce multiplicateur travaille à pression élevée sous un faible débit, car il n'y a à ce niveau aucune autre fuite que le mince film de fluide entraîné par le produit extrudé et qui sert à lubrifier la filière et cette fuite est très faible.As, moreover, the viscosity of a substance decreases, under a given pressure, when the temperature rises, it may be advantageous to provide the extrusion device with known means for bringing the temperature of the fluid, locally or in its together at a suitable value. This is how we can either heat the isostatic chamber or cool the groove (and possibly the blank), so that the fluid located in the groove has a viscosity higher than that of the fluid located in the chamber. isostatic, in accordance with the invention. If the viscous fluid is calcium stearate, it is possible, for example, to heat the isostatic chamber in the vicinity of or above its melting point which is 180 ° C. One can, incidentally, cool the die which generally tends to heat up by the very process of extrusion. Likewise, in some cases, it may be advantageous to preheat the blank to increase its deformability. In the case where a different fluid than the one in the groove is injected into the isostatic chamber, in the vicinity of the die, it is necessary to use a small pressure multiplier, but it should be noted that this multiplier works at high pressure under a low flow rate, because there is no other leakage at this level than the thin film of fluid entrained by the extruded product and which is used to lubricate the die and this leakage is very low.
Dans un dispositif conforme à celui des figures 2 et 4, on a introduit une ébauche en cuivre de 10 millimètres de diamètre, entraînée à une vitesse de 0,50 mètres par seconde. Le fluide moteur est de la poudre stéarate de calcium. On a injecté, en outre, dans la chambre isostatique par l'orifice (11), au voisinage de la filière (16) du pétrole, (kérosène) sous une pression de 1500 MPa.In a device in accordance with that of FIGS. 2 and 4, a copper blank 10 millimeters in diameter was introduced, driven at a speed of 0.50 meters per second. The working fluid is calcium stearate powder. Was injected, in addition, into the isostatic chamber through the orifice (11), in the vicinity of the die (16) of petroleum (kerosene) under a pressure of 1500 MPa.
La partie active du rotor, schématisée sur la figure 5 par la partie épaissie du cercle extérieur, a une longueur de 2,5 mètres et la saignée a une section de 80 x 10 mm à l'entrée, diminuant progressivement, selon le schéma figure 5, jusqu'à 20 x 10 à l'entrée du canal (12), conduisant à la filière, dont le diamètre de sortie est de 2 mm, cette disposition assurant le gradient de pression le long de la saignée jusqu'à la chambre isostatique.The active part of the rotor, shown diagrammatically in Figure 5 by the thickened part of the outer circle, has a length of 2.5 meters and the groove has a section of 80 x 10 mm at the entrance, gradually decreasing, according to the diagram in figure 5, up to 20 x 10 at the inlet of the channel (12), leading to the die, the outlet diameter of which is 2 mm, this arrangement ensuring the pressure gradient along the groove up to the chamber isostatic.
La poudre est injectée par l'orifice (13) sous une pression faible ou nulle qui augmente jusqu'à environ 1500 MPz à l'entrée du canai (12), L'ébauche avance avec la rotor car la force d'adhérence de l'ébauche dans la poudre est supérieure à la poussée inverse, qui tendrait àThe powder is injected through the orifice (13) under a low or zero pressure which increases up to approximately 1500 MPz at the inlet of the canai (12), The blank advances with the rotor because the adhesion force of the blank in the powder is greater than the reverse push, which would tend to
la faire reculer, exercée sur elle par la pression de 1500 MPa. On es- time que la force d'adhérence de la poudre sur les parois de la saignée est, en moyenne, supérieure à 200 newtons par cm2 de surface de contact. L'effort exercé par la poudre pour faire avancer l'ébauche est donc supérieur à 3,14 x 1 x 250 x 200 = 15,7 104N.roll it back, exerted on it by the pressure of 1500 MPa. It is estimated that the adhesion force of the powder on the walls of the groove is, on average, greater than 200 newtons per cm 2 of contact surface. The force exerted by the powder to advance the blank is therefore greater than 3.14 x 1 x 250 x 200 = 15.7 10 4 N.
L'effort exercé par la pression d'extrusion et s'opposant à l'avance de l'ébauche est : 1,5.109 Pa x 0,785.10-4 m2 = 11,8.104N.The force exerted by the extrusion pressure and opposing the advance of the blank is: 1.5.10 9 Pa x 0.785.10 -4 m2 = 11.8.10 4 N.
La comparaison de ces deux résultats montre que l'entraînement de l'ébauche par la poudre, en l'absence du contact direct métal-métal de l'ébauche sur les parois et/ou le fond de la saignée, s'effectue avec un coefficient de sécurité largement suffisant (
On a opéré dans des conditions identiques à celles de l'exemple 1, mais l'orifice (11) a été obturé et on a chauffé la zone de la chambre isostatique de façon à porter sa température à 180°C, correspondant au j point de liquéfaction commençante du stéarate de calcium.The operation was carried out under conditions identical to those of Example 1, but the orifice (11) was closed and the area of the isostatic chamber was heated so as to bring its temperature to 180 ° C., corresponding to the point starting liquefaction of calcium stearate.
On a obtenu, sans difficulté et sans grippage de la filière, l'extru- sion d'un fil de 2 mm.An extrusion of a 2 mm wire was obtained without difficulty and without jamming of the die.
D'autres types de poudres, en particulier, les sels d'acides gras peuvent être utilisés comme "fluide visqueux" dans des conditions comparables à celles qui viennent d'être décrites.Other types of powders, in particular, the fatty acid salts can be used as "viscous fluid" under conditions comparable to those which have just been described.
