Definitions

  • This invention relates to the manufacture of tubular components by an axial swageing or reduction/extrusion process involving forcing an extrusion die over an end portion of a tube, or "push-pointing" as such process is usually called.
  • the die has a conical entry portion of larger diameter than the untreated tube and a smallest diameter portion corresponding to the required diameter of the finished tube.
  • the tube needs to be clamped, or alternatively, particularly where a component requires both ends to be similarly formed, both ends can be treated at the same time thus reducing or even obviating the need for clamping of the tube.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an improved method and apparatus for carrying such operations where the reduced diameter portion has a finite length (as distinct from the situation where it is merely a frusto-conical or like shaping at each end).
  • the invention offers particular advantages where the tube has a welded seam, as distinct from a seamless drawn tube, although the invention is also applicable (with less advantage) in the seamless tube situation.
  • a method of making a stepped diameter tubular component comprises firstly introducing a headed mandrel into the interior of the untreated tube, secondly push-pointing the end of the tube to form a portion of reduced diameter, and then withdrawing the mandrel through the reduced diameter portion to size the interior.
  • both the interior and the exterior of the stepped portion can be drawn to finished size, and any, for example, weld bead on the inside of the reduced diameter portion can be cleaned off and removed.
  • the push-pointing die has a parallel portion of finite length, and the sizing of the internal diameter of the component is effected whilst the mandrel is within that portion. It is conventional to provide a push-pointing die with a wide angle mouth of frusto-conical formation having a large end which is of greater diameter than the untreated component so as to receive that end and guide it into the working portion of the tapered throat so afforded; followed by a relatively short axial length which is of uniform diameter, and then a relatively narrow angle frusto - conical portion behind that, so as to reduce frictional drag on the reduced diameter portion if a substantial length of the same - greater than the length of the uniform diameter portion of the die - is formed.
  • the parallel portion is either to be made of greater length than usual, or alternative equivalent means may be used as explained below.
  • the alternative means comprise arrangements for axially displacing the push-pointing die and the mandrel substantially synchronously whilst the mandrel head is located within the uniform diameter portion of the die.
  • a component has both ends formed successively or simultaneously by like means.
  • the apparatus comprises a clamp 10 to hold a tube 12 in position for treatment. If one end only of the tube is to be treated a fixed abutment may lie at the other end of the tube and the clamp is only a steady.
  • the illustrations assume that both ends of a tube are to be treated, although not necessarily simultaneously, as hereinafter discussed.
  • the apparatus shown is adapted for treatment at both ends by the provision of duplicated sets of displacement rams 14 and dies 16.
  • each die comprises a major frusto-conical portion 18 with its larger end adjacent to the tube, a parallel portion 20 opening from the small end of the portion 18, and a tapered portion 22 which increases in diameter from the parallel portion to the opposite end of the die.
  • the die is mounted on a ram 24 of hydraulic cylinder 26.
  • the die structure further includes mandrel 28 which may be somewhat barrel-shaped as shown preferably but not essentially having a uniform diameter portion of finite length generally mid-way along its axial length, the uniform diameter being the maximum diameter of the mandrel.
  • the mandrel is mounted on a second ram 30 powered by a hydraulic cylinder 32.
  • Ram 30 extends through ram 24.
  • the two rams 24, 28 can be coupled by a lock 34.
  • Appropriate hydraulic fluid flow control valves are provided to enable the rams to be displaced in either direction.
  • ram 30 is first extended to the maximum travel so as to locate mandrel 28 in the tube 12 and beyond the zone to be treated.
  • Ram 24 is then, or simultaneously, extended so as to force the die onto the tube and push-point the end of the tube into a frusto-conical shape 40 as shown in Figure 3.
  • Ram 24 continues to extend to displace the whole die structure along the tube so as to produce a reduced diameter tube portion 44 ( Figure 4) and effectively move the frusto-conical portion 40 along the tube length.
  • This extension of ram 24 to the desired extent may accompany or follow the extension of ram 30:
  • Figures 3 and 4 show the ram 30 movement as being completed before ram 24 movement is completed.
  • the push-pointing rams 24 are displaced towards one another alternately: this reduces the maximum power required.
  • the power requirement for the . sizing operation is usually less, dependent to some extent upon the nature of the tube and the permissible tolerances so that usually both sets of locked rams can be withdrawn together to size both ends simultaneously: but again alternate operation is possible if required.
  • the drawings illustrate a die with a parallel portion substantially equal in length to the uniform diameter portion mandrel to suit the simultaneous withdrawal technique described.
  • one or other of the mandrel or die may have a uniform portion of infinite length. That is to say the mandrel may be wholly barrel-shaped or the two tapered portions in the die may meet without a parallel diameter portion.
  • the parallel diameter portion may be longer than illustrated in which event it may be possible for there to be relative movement between die and mandrel during the external/internal sizing operation.
  • the simultaneous movement of the two over the tube is preferred to obtain maximum quality of finished tube sized both internally ana externally.
  • the dies and rams are arranged on a table 50 with ram cylinders 52 (for the ram 30) and 54 (for the ram 24) mounted on brackets 56 running on slideways to facilitate adjustment to set up for particular dimensions.
  • the workpiece mount or clamp 20 is here shown as comprising a pair of aligned hydraulic cylinders 58 having their axes transverse to those of the push-pointed dies and sizing mandrel. Cylinders 58 are likewise mounted on slideways to enable adjustment to suit the workpiece.
  • the machine structure includes a hydraulic reservoir 60, a pump and motor set 62, and the associated fluid control valves 64.
