Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for forming an electric resistance welded steel pipe in which a flat skelp is continuously formed by rolls into a rounded skelp of which, after passing through fin pass rolls, both marginal edges are welded together into a finished steel pipe.
  • a flat skelp trimmed in a width corresponding to the unfolded circumferential length of the desired pipe is first formed into a semicircular rounded skelp by successively passing through several forming rolls for the initial and intermediate forming stages followed by the stable forming of the edges through fin pass rolls at the finishing stage to finish the rounded skelp to have the predetermined shape and dimensions which is then subjected to the upset welding of the marginal edges to form the seam by means of a squeeze roll.
  • Processper selection of the roll-forming process of the skelp before welding is very important because it is the determining factor for the quality of welding, yield in the forming, productivity and the operating rate of the mill, investment for the facilities, cost for rolls and the like.
  • the above described forming method of the electric resistance welded steel pipe is essentially a combination of the selected cross-sectional configuration bf the skelp, i.e. forming flower, in the forming process as a software- like technology and the actual selected type of the forming process in the forming facilities as a hardware.
  • the forming flower here implied means the patterns by which the successively changing cross sectional configuration of the skelp is expressed along the line of the sequence of the rolls at each of which the running skelp is deformed.
  • the flat skelp undergoes a bending formation over the whole width thereof with an object to reduce the working amount and forming load in the succeeding fin pass forming.
  • the forming in these stages is of course performed in several different ways including the circular bending, combination of the circular bending and edge bending, combination of the W-bending and circular bending and combination of circular bending, edge bending and center bending.
  • Each of these forming processes has several problems such as the increased number of rolls in the initial and intermediate forming stages, increase in the length of the forming line, increased time taken for the adjustment and exchange of the rolls, decreased compatibility of the rolls with different pipe being formed, and the like.
  • the forming flowers in the above mentioned initial and intermediate forming stages may be of the center bending type which is, however, rarely undertaken in practice for the reasons described below and technically not well established.
  • the bending work of the skelp is started from the center line thereof toward the edge portions and the bending work at the initial and intermediate forming stages is limited to the center portion of the skelp and thereabout so that the bending work in these stages is easier than those in other forming processes.
  • the marginal edge portions of the skelp are, however, left unformed in the initial and intermediate forming stages so that the succeeding fin pass forming must accompany the edge bending which is a very difficult matter with increased load in the fin pass forming.
  • the space-path length of the skelp edges in this case is the longest in comparison with other types of forming processes with increased appearance of the edge stretch and the resistance of the skelp against buckling is low because the edge portions have not yet been bent. Therefore, a disadvantage is sometimes unavoidable that edge wave frequently takes place between the roll stands.
  • fin pass forming stage in connection with the finish-forming stage, i.e. fin pass forming stage in the prior art method for forming an electric resistance welded steel pipe, two types of forming processes are known with different fin pass forming flowers.
  • One is a forming process with the so-called Yoder-Mckay forming flower in which the nearly rounded skelp is formed with successively decreasing width so as to increase the roundness of the bent skelp as a whole.
  • the other is a forming process with the so-called Etna-type forming flower in which the lower half of the skelp is bent in the initial and intermediate forming stages to have the final curvature of the finished pipe with the upper half bent to have 50 to 70 % of the final curvature followed by the fin pass forming in which the upper half of the skelp is formed into the final curvature thus to form the marginal edge portions ready to be welded.
  • the conventional fin pass forming process can be considered as a reduce-type forming method mainly directed to the curvature increasing bending of the nearly rounded skelp.
  • each fin pass roll must serve to the bending of the rounded skelp over the whole width so that the load on the fin pass forming is relatively large.
  • roll slip marks are sometimes unavoidable because the width decrease is effected on the side portions of the rounded skelp and the gap between the marginal edges of the rounded skelp is successively decreased resulting in a small edge gap after the final fin pass roll.
  • the V-shape angle in the welding portion is too small to cause several problems including the occurrence of weld defects, generation of sparks at the V-shaped edge portion, appearance of edge waves and the like.
  • a further problem is the increase in the thickness of the marginal edges due to the relatively large fin angle at the upstream-side fin pass rolls.
  • the load in the fin pass forming is decreased and occurrence of the roll slip marks is reduced in comparison with the Yoder-Mckay forming flower.
  • difficulties are encountered in the forming at the initial and intermediate forming stages because the forming work in these stages must include bending over the whole width of the skelp or, in particular, finish bending of the skelp portion corresponding to the lower half of the semicircular bent skelp.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,339,938 discloses a rounded skelp forming method combined an edge crimping forming process with a sequential O-forming process thereafter.
  • the edge crimping process comprises outermost edge bending and subsequent bending of the inward portion adjacent thereto by means of horizontal edge bend rolls.
  • the circular O-forming process is performed by means of cage rolls disposed along the skelp.
  • the method has such disadvantages as necessity in employing large breakdown rolls, occurrence of roll slip marks, and difficulties in integrated arc configuration in the upstream stages and in adjustment of separately disposed cage rolls.
  • Pipe manufacturing process composed of Uing, Oing and Expanding is well-known as the two dimensional discontinuous press forming process, which can not be utilized for the three-dimensional caliber roll pipe forming process because the former process is subjected to quite different plastic working technology from the latter with entirely different deforming behavior.
  • UOE process can not be employed in complicated work such as over-bend forming and the like.
  • the conventional methods practically performed for the forming of electric resistance welded steel pipes utilize the circular bend forming or- a combination of the circular bend forming and another forming flower as the type of the forming flower in the initial and intermediate forming stages and utilize the Yoder-Mckay or Etna-type forming flower in the fin pass forming stage, while these forming flowers are actually obtained in a particular forming process such as the step-roll forming, vertical-roll forming, cage-roll forming and the like as is described later with reference to the accompanying drawings.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a novel forming method of a skelp for the preparation of an electric resistance welded steel pipe with improved forming performance not only in the initial and intermediate forming stages but also in the fin pass forming stage in which the yield of the product is increased and the steel pipe product is imparted with improved form and accuracy of size as well as excellent quality of welding.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a method of forming for the preparation of an electric resistance welded steel pipe in which the advantage of the process is greatly increased with increase in the operating rate of the mill, reduction of the investment for the mill facilities, decrease in the cost for the rolls and enlargement of the versatility of the process to a wide variety of products.
  • the method of the present invention for forming a skelp in the preparation of an electric resistance welded steel pipe comprises the steps of;
  • FIGURES la to ld which illustrate each the circular-bend forming, a combination of the circular-bend forming and edge-bend forming, a combination of the W-bend forming and circular-bend forming, or a combination of the circular-bend forming, edge-bend forming and center-bend forming, respectively.

  • the projection of the side portions of the rounded skelp indicates a decreasing or constant width in the transverse direction while the lateral projection of the edge portion indicates decreasing height in the vertical direction.
  • FIGURES 4a to 4d The roll map charts for the above described several types of skelp forming are illustrated in FIGURES 4a to 4d .

  • FIGURES 5a, 5b, 6a and 6b schematically illustrate the forming flowers obtained in practicing the method of the tpresent invention.
  • the forming flowers illustrated in FIGURE 5a, 5b, 6a are respectively obtained in the center forming processes of the center portion of the skelp in the initial and intermediate forming stages and the forming flower illustrated in FIGURE 6b is obtained in the forming process )of the bent skelp in the stage of finish-forming or the fin pass forming.
  • the three forming flowers illustrated in FIGURE 6b correspond each to one of the caliber profiles of the roll stands in the case of the 3-stand fin pass forming.
  • the skelp is formed by bending the center portion alone thereof to give a curvature of at least 80% of the final curvature of the finished pipe by use of a cage roll serving as a holding roll to successively hold and restrain the marginal edge portions of the skelp and a plurality of center-bend rolls successively installed along the progressing line of the forming and acting to restrain and bending the center portion of the skelp.
  • the other portions of the skelp apart from the centerline in the transverse direction are intentionally left unformed including the marginal edge portions of the skelp each having an about one-third width of the skelp from the edge.
  • This is a type of center forming by means of a cage roll in which the skelp is imparted with a U-shaped forming flower at the inlet of the fin pass forming stage corresponding to the finish forming.
  • the above described forming process in the initial and intermediate forming steps is characteristic in the omission of the circular forming as is conventional in the prior art forming processes to form the side portions and edge portions of the rounded skelp.
  • the center portion imparted with the specifed curvature should preferably cover from 25 to 50% of the overall width of the skelp in the transverse direction.
  • step of center forming in the inventive method can be performed in several different ways without particular limitations.
  • the bending work is started along the centerline of the skelp followed by the gradual increase of the width of the bent portion until the above mentioned percentage of the width has been covered to complete the center forming.
  • the bending work is started along the lines remotest from the centerline within the above mentioned region for bending followed by the successive shift of the bending lines toward the centerline to complete the center forming.
  • FIGURES 5a and 5b respectively illustrate the forming flowers in the former case and the latter case. It is of course possible to combine these processes so that the forming flower may be as illustrated in FIGURE 6a.
  • the first step of the inventive method is the center forming within a limited bending region on both sides of the centerline of the skelp leaving the portions of the skelp outside the bending region unformed.
  • the types of the roll and apparatus for the above mentioned center forming of the skelp are not particularly limitative and rolls and apparatuses having various forms and structures can be used provided that the above described conditions of bending are satisfied.
  • the skelp has a down-hill pass line in practicing the inventive method, the chance of occurrence of edge waves can further be decreased even when the thin wall thickness skelp is employed.
  • the edge forming rolls used in the conventional cage forming and the inside rolls for working on the side portions of the skelp are no longer required and the initial and intermediate forming stages, i.e. the cage roll forming, can be greatly shortened in comparison with the prior art methods.
  • the initial and intermediate forming stages i.e. the cage roll forming
  • occurrence of edge waves can be prevented because the skelp edges are continuously restrained in the cage roll forming process with further control of the path of width reduction of the skelp edges.
  • the line length for the initial and intermediate forming stages can be as small as 15 to 20 times of the largest outer diameter of the pipe to be manufactured, that is, the line length can be only about 50 to 70 % of that in the conventional cage forming process.
  • the first fin pass roll (lF) in the fin pass forming step serves to perform the following forming process. That is, the bending work on the side portions of the skelp under bending is intentionally limited such that the radius of curvature is not smaller than twice of the radius of the finally finished pipe and the transverse diameter, i.e. width, of the side portions of the rounded skelp is not smaller than the transverse diameter of the U-shaped skelp before the first fin pass roll.
  • the edge portions of the skelp are bent and imparted with a curvature of at least 80% of the curvature in the finally finished pipe and over-bend forming is effected in the boundary regions between the side portion and edge portion of the rounded skelp and between the side portion and bottom portion of the rounded skelp to be imparted with a curvature larger than that in the finally finished pipe.
  • the edge portions of the rounded skelp are readily formed by bending with a smaller fin pass reduction and the load in the fin pass forming is decreased.
  • the edge portions of the rounded skelp are formed by bending to be imparted with a curvature of at least 80% of that in the finally finished pipe.
  • the above mentioned curvature in the edge portions is essential in order to prevent peaking of the edges by welding leading to unacceptable bead cutting and defective upset welding.
  • the forming by edge bending in the 2F and 3F to follow cannot be sufficient with the curvature of edge bending in iF smaller than 80% resulting in deficiency in edge bending.
  • FIGURES 7a and 7b are each a model illustration showing the state of the formed skelp and the forces acting on the rounded skelp in the first fin pass roll according to the inventive method and the prior art forming process, respectively. Assuming that the reduction force F is the same in these two processes, the reaction force f 3 is larger in the inventive method than in the prior art method as a result of the restrained bending on the side portion C of the rounded skelp.
  • the boundary region B between the side portion C of the rounded skelp under restrained bending and the edge portion A of the rounded skelp is formed by overbending to be imparted with a curvature larger than that in the edge portion A of the rounded skelp so that the edge is inclined lower than in the prior art method and the fin angle ⁇ F of the first fin pass roll can be smaller. Therefore, the circumferential force f 1 as a component force of the fin pass reduction force F is decreased and the component force f 2 in the radial direction is increased.
  • the thickness increase at the edge is smaller as a result of the decrease of the component force f l in the circumferential direction while bending of the skelp edge portion can readily be performed as a result of the increase of the component force f 2 in the radial direction and the reaction force f 3 from the roll to produce an increased bending moment action on the edge portion.
  • the first fin pass forming process according to the invention has advantages of the smaller thickness increase at the edges and the decrease of the fin pass reduction force in comparison with the prior art forming method.
  • first fin pass roll (IF) is followed by the second fin pass roll (2F) and the third fin pass roll (3F) which serve to reduce mainly in the direction of decreasing the vertical diameter of the rounded skelp so that the side portions C of the rounded skelp under restrained bending in the above mentioned first fin pass roll (lF) are formed by successively bulging out in the transverse direction to effect forming of the rounded skelp in the direction of increasing the transverse diameter.
  • This forming step by bulging out is a process in which works are successively performed for forming the side portions of the rounded skelp by bending and unbending of the boundary regions B between the side portion and edge portion of the rounded skelp having been formed by over-bending in the first fin pass roll (lF).

  • FIGURE 9 is a diagram showing the paths of the projection of the rounded skelp in the fin pass forming process according to the inventive method.
  • the edge distance (W 3F ) in the final fin pass roll can be larger owing to the gradual increase in the transverse diameter of the rounded skelp and the V-shape angel ( ⁇ v ) at the welding portion can be also be larger. Accordingly, the welding at the squeeze roll can be performed with stability to ensure high quality of the products.
  • edge bend forming of the skelp in the initial forming stage to impart the skelp before the fin pass forming with a forming flower similar to that obtained in the combination of the edge bend forming and the center bend forming followed by the finish forming in the step of the fin pass forming according to the inventive method.
  • This latter process is advantageous, in particular, in the forming of a skelp of a relatively large thickness with further improved formability of the edge in addition to the decrease of the load in the fin pass forming.
  • the method of the present invention may be practiced by comprising the step of edge bend forming added to the initial and intermediate forming stages in the forming process.
  • the step of the center forming by the cage roll forming in the initial and intermediate forming stages according to the inventive method can be undertaken only with the precondition of the fin pass forming step according to the inventive method.
