Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to the manufacture of mineral insulated metal sheathed cables.
  • Mineral insulated metal sheathed cables typically comprise one or more metallic conductors embedded in a body of compacted mineral insulating material which is in turn housed within an outer metallic sheath.
  • the conductors and sheath are usually copper and the insulating material may be a ceramic powder such as magnesium oxide.
  • One method of manufacturing such cables is by packing the mineral insulating material into a vertically extending metallic tube already fitted with conductor cores, and then subjecting the filled length of tube to a succession of drawing and annealing operations.
  • This method suffers from several disadvantages. It is a batch process and cannot be adapted to continuous cable production.
  • the initial tube is a relatively expensive source of the sheath metal, although it has been suggested (U.S. Patent 4,614,024) that the tube could be prepared within the process by forming flat metal strip.
  • the multiple drawing and annealing steps require substantial time. Each annealing step is slow because the conductors, which must be subjected to the annealing along with the sheath, are protected from the heat by the mineral insulating material.
  • U.S. Patent 4,420,881 A modification of the method just described is disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,420,881.
  • the method disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,420,881 comprises treating mineral insulating material to form an extrudable substance, said treatment including mixing the material at least with a binder, extruding a cylindrical body of the substance to provide an insulating body, treating the insulating body to remove and/or decompose the binder, and applying a metal sheath to the body.
  • the mineral insulating material is mixed with an organic binder and either palletised under high pressure or simply extruded, in either case producing a cylindrical preform structure with one or more longitudinal ducts.
  • the preform structure is cut into lengths which are, in the extruded case, heated to burn off the binder and then, in each case, inserted into a metal sheathing tube.
  • a conductor is then passed through each duct and the resultant structure drawn and annealed in the known manner.
  • the extrusion technique of this U.S. Patent is still a batch process and still requires a preformed metal tube for the sheath.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a continuous manufacturing process and apparatus.
  • the invention is characterised in that the body is continuously extruded around at least one continuously moving conductor to provide a continuously moving assembly consisting of insulation with the conductor embedded therein, and then continuously applying the metal sheath around the continuously moving assembly.
  • British patent application 2,205,263 proposes continuously forming the metallic sheath in an annular die by means of conform extrusion, a technique described generally in British patent 1,370,894. Although this is a continuous process, it does not result in a satisfactory end product as regards uniformity of the insulating and dielectric properties.
  • the sheath is disposed vertically, at least at its mouth, so that the mineral insulating material can be fed into the extruded sheath from a hopper.
  • Conductors are fed into the sheath from respective guide tubes. Drawing and annealing follow as before.
  • This proposal suffers from the disadvantage that there is not adequate control in the compaction of the insulating material during filling of the sheath which results in inadequate control of the insulating and dielectric properties of the cable. In addition, displacement of the conductors can occur during subsequent processing stages.
  • the invention differs from this prior proposal by means of the steps defined above which provides uniformity in the properties of the end product.
  • the sheath is advantageously formed about said co-extruded cylindrical body by conform extrusion through an annular die.
  • the sheath might be physically formed from flat strip.
  • the conductor(s) and sheath are preferably copper or aluminium and the insulating material is advantageously a ceramic powder such as magnesium oxide, aluminium oxide, or other oxides, carbides, or nitrides.
  • the apparatus 10 depicted in Figure 1 includes a co-extruder 12 and a conform extruder 20.
  • Mineral insulating material pre-mixed with water or water and alcohol, and a suitable binder to form an extrudable feedstock 8 is continuously fed to co-extruder 12 and co-extruded about one or more travelling elongate metallic conductors 5 to form a generally cylindrical body 30 of the material in which the or each conductor is thereby embedded.
  • a metallic sheath 32 is formed about body 30 by conform extrusion from an annular die.
  • the conform extrusion technique is generally as described in British patent 1,370,894, utilising feedstock such as rod 34.
  • the feedstock for the conform extruder may alternatively comprise metallic powder or granules.
  • the sheathed and insulated cable 36 discharged from conform extruder 20 is drawn in at least one drawing stage 40 for example comprising a series of rolls or extrusion dies, to compact the mineral insulation and reduce the cable to the required size. Thereafter the cable is wound onto formers 41 as successive coils 42 of continuous cable. Alternatively, the coiling may be completed on a bull block or similar device where size reduction is simultaneously achieved.
  • Coils 42 are annealed in a bell furnace 44, or continuously annealed by other suitable means, according to conventional practice with mineral insulated metal sheathed cables, and passed for storage or transport 46. More than one drawing and/or annealing step may be required or found desirable, depending on the end-product sought, but typically only one drawing and annealing are required.
  • Conductor 5 and rod 34 are respectively reduced in section from metallic wire 5' and metallic rod 34 by any suitable deformation process such as rolling, drawing, or conform.
  • the reduction steps for the conductor 5 and rod 34 are shown schematically at 5a and 34a.
  • the mineral insulating powder is mixed with both water (or water and alcohol) and a suitable binder to form plastic feedstock 8 for co-extruder 12.
  • the cylindrical body 30 is treated by heating in a zoned furnace 16 to at least partially drive off the water and to decompose the binder and other additives.
  • the two treatments of the mineral insulating material - the pre-treatment to form the co-extruder feedstock and the treatment of the extruded body in furnace 16 - are such as to optimise the subsequent insulating properties of the cylindrical body while sufficiently preserving the latter's integrity before it is encased by the sheath. If there is to be a subsequent reduction step, there is a further requirement that the extruded and debindered body remains sufficiently plastic to extrude with the conductor(s) and sheath.
  • the characteristics required for the mineral insulating material used in the process of the invention will be discussed in greater detail hereinafter.
  • the conform extruder 20 preferably applies sufficient energy to also anneal the sheath; the furnace 16 may in similar fashion anneal the conductor(s) prior the sheathing step.
  • This flow chart further shows pre-treatment 50 of the mineral insulating powder to grade the powder according to particle size and to detect and remove magnetics, indicates at 51 the treatment of this powder by mixing in water (or water and alcohol) and binder, and shows that the co-extrusion step may entail vacuum degassing of the extruder feedstock to remove trapped air.
  • Preparation of the conductor may include welding and straightening steps 52, 53.
  • the conductor and sheath are typically copper or aluminium, although other metals may of course be employed.
  • the mineral insulating material may be a ceramic powder, e.g. magnesium oxide, aluminium oxide, zirconium oxide or other oxides, or carbides or nitrides which have a high melting point and good insulation resistance.
  • Suitable binders for mixing with the mineral insulating material include those developed for the extrusion of ceramic materials and are typically water soluble resins, such as gums, polyvinyl alcohols, cellulosic materials and high molecular weight homopolymers or polyethylene oxide. Other additives may be used to improve the formulation, such as wetting agents to assist with dispersion of the binder, extrusion aids to reduce the extrusion forces and lower wear, lubricant to lower wear, and biocides to facilitate preservation. High shear mixing is preferably used to achieve a uniform mix. Heating may be applied at the co-extruder as some binders undergo a gel transition at higher temperatures.
  • Extrusion of ceramic materials is well known for use in the production of sintered components.
  • the technique is to mix ceramic powder with water and binders to provide a fluid mix which is easily extrudable. Typically the amount of water will be in excess of 15% by weight and the binders will be in the range of 1 to 4% by weight.
  • the extruded product is cut into lengths which are put in batches into a furnace in which the product are heated to remove the binder and then to sinter the particles.
  • a sintered product normally requires a particle size of 25 microns or less in order to provide rapid sintering and sufficient final strength.
  • the small particle size and high liquid content does, however, mean that long heating times (usually several hours) are required to remove the liquid and binder prior to sintering, the long heating times being necessary due to the relatively small amount of free space available within the product for escape of any volatiles and any decomposition products of the binder on heating. Between removal of the binder and sintering, the product is in a fragile condition but remains in the furnace during this phase and does not therefore need to be handled.
  • the parameters for the ceramic extrusion process are, however, different when used in the process of the invention.
  • the extrusion process again requires the addition of water or other liquid to the ceramic powder to provide an extrudable mixture and also the addition of binder which assists the retention in the shape of the extruded product, with extrusion becoming easier as the added liquid content is increased.
  • the amount of liquid is increased, the product density is reduced which leads to reduced product strength after heating to remove the binder.
  • a conventional ceramic extrusion process for producing a sintered product in which the product is heated in a furnace to remove the binder and then to sinter the product with no product handling being required between these stages, low product strength after binder removal and prior to sintering does not have a serious affect.
  • the product is not sintered after binder removal (although a degree of sintering may occur during heating to remove the binder) and the product must have sufficient strength after binder removal to enable the product to be transported to the conform extruder and to thereafter withstand the forces applied during conform extrusion at which the sheath is applied. For this reason, the amount of liquid added to plasticise the mix for extrusion must be a balance between that necessary to achieve adequate extrusion characteristics while preserving adequate product strength after removal of the binder to permit the handling of the product to and through the conform extruder. It is also to be noted that these difficulties cannot be overcome by fully sintering the product after binder removal as this would render the product incapable of being reduced down to the required size after conform extrusion.
  • the particle size of the mix will be larger than that used in conventional ceramic extrusion.
  • the major portion of the mix will have a particle size of at least about 30 microns although inevitably the mix will contain a proportion of smaller size particles.
  • Particle size will also affect strength of the product after binder removal, with increased particle size leading us to reduced strength. Accordingly, a compromise is necessary in the particle size to meet these different requirements.
  • Ceramic powders are capable of wide variation in particle size depending on such factors as the source of the product and method of size reduction, and it is possible to mix different grades of powder to obtain a mix with a particle size distribution within the limits necessary to achieve the required characteristics.
  • the particle size of the ceramic powder is mainly in the range of 10 microns to 200 microns with the major portion being in the range 30 microns to 125 microns.
  • the actual size distribution is highly variable and this controls the final formulation.
  • the liquid additive to plasticise the mix is applied in the range of 4-14% by weight, with the most suitable range being 5-8% by weight.
  • the actual value is dependant on the nature of the particles including particle size and surface area.
  • the liquid may be water or a mixture of water and alcohol which will evaporate more readily on heating.
  • the amount of binder added is typically in the order of 1-8% by weight.
  • the actual amount used is most likely to be in the range of 2-6%. Too high a level will make it more difficult to debinder rapidly enough, while too little and the material will not have sufficient plasticity to be extruded. Again, the actual amount is dependant on the specific grade of ceramic powder used.
  • Plasticisers may be used to improve the plasticity of the mix. These must be readily decomposed and provide little ash to contaminate the ceramic material. This contamination would lower the resistivity and dielectric characteristics particularly at elevated temperatures.
  • Typical plasticisers are polyethylene or polypropylene glycols with specific molecular weights.
  • a typical material is polyethylene glycol 400 used at the 2-10% of the total binder content.
  • Surfactants may be used to improve the wetting of the ingredients by lowering the surface tension of the aqueous system. These are usually used in the range of 0.1-0.5% by weight.
  • Lubricant may also be added to improve the lubrication between particles and between the extruder die and walls and the material being extruded.
  • Typical lubricants are stearates (compatible with the ceramic), stearic acid or diglycol stearate.
  • the level of lubricant used is preferably in the range 0.1-2% by weight with 0.5% being especially preferred.
  • the extruded product is dried rapidly and heated to remove the binder and other additives so that the original resistive and dielectric properties are returned. This usually requires heating to about 900-1000°C using a heating time of several minutes. The total heating time is recorded in minutes rather than hours which is more typical of that used for debindering in conventional ceramic extrusion. Heating is at a temperature below that at which substantial sintering occurs.
  • All additives used in the mix must be either readily decomposed on heating to provide little or no ash, or alternatively, the product of decomposition must be compatible with the ceramic material being extruded.
  • magnesium stearate can be used as a lubricant for the extrusion of MgO as the product of decomposition is MgO.
  • the ceramic powder particle size range is given for the majority of the particles, and it is to be understood that the powder may also include some particles outside of this range.
  • the above examples are given in order to provide an understanding of the nature of a typical ceramic mix which can be used in the process of the invention. It is, however, to be understood that the present invention is not restricted just to the use of these formulations
  • the furnace in which the extruded product is heated may be a tunnel furnace through which the product continuously moves, the length of the furnace being such that movement through the furnace at a rate determined by the ceramic extrusion and conform operations provides the required heating time.
  • the furnace may be heated by conventional means or alternatively the furnace may be an induction furnace or a microwave furnace.
  • the product is substantially continuously supported on a conveyor during passage through the furnace and during passage from the furnace to the conform extruder.
  • the conveyor may be a moving belt conveyor, a roller conveyor or a combination of both rollers and belts. Due to the fragility of the product during heating and prior to sheathing the product moves along a substantially horizontal rectilinear path from the furnace to the conform extruder.
  • the described process has a number of advantages over prior disclosed techniques. Continuous rather than batch production of cable may be conveniently achieved. There is less annealing, drawing and handling, because the cable is initially produced close to finished size.
  • the sheath feedstock used in conform extrusion is an inexpensive source of the metal rather than relatively expensive tube. Copper rod for example, is much less than the cost of copper tube for a given weight of metal.
  • Treatment of insulation is achieved prior to covering it with the sheath, and a more uniform density is evident in the extruded body of insulating material than with the prior packing methods. Much of the desirable compaction of the insulating material occurs during the co-extrusion step whereas prior methods need the extensive amount of drawing to, inter alia, compact the insulating material.
  • the sheath can be formed by other techniques such as forming flat strip into U-shape into which the extruded body is laid and the tube formed and the gap welded. This technique may provide some advantages in handling the fragile extruded ceramic body during sheathing.
