Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the extrusion of tubes of a memory metal, in particular a memory metal of the type NiTi. and a tube produced according to this process.
  • So called memory metals relate to a group of materials which are characterized by their deviating thermo-mechanical properties. To these belong inter alia NiTi-based alloys and copper alloys of so called ⁇ -brass.
  • the compositions, properties and applications of the memory metals are known by a number of publications in this area (see. e.g.. Walter S. Owen: Shape memory effects and applications, an overview. Shape memory effects in alloys, edited by Jeff Perkins, 1975, Plenum Press New York: Process of Int. Symposium on shape memory effects and applications, Toronto. Canada. 19. - 22.5.1975).
  • the memory metals are characterized in that their phase transformation (transition from a martensitic to an austenitic state and vice versa) takes place within a very limited temperature range in the order of magnitude 30°C.
  • a primary object of the present invention is to provide a process that makes possible an extrusion of memory metal in general and of NiTi-based memory metal in particular.
  • a second object of the present invention is to provide an extruded tube of memory metal in general and of NiTi-based memory metals in particular.
  • the used memory metal according to the exemplified embodiment consists of a NiTi-based alloy with an addition of niobium.
  • the amounts can suitably vary from 35 to 60 % by weight Ni, 35 to 60 % b.w. Ti and 1 to 30 % b.w. Nb, preferably from 40 to 60 % b.w. of Ni and Ti, respectively and 1 to 20 % b.w. of Nb.
  • the concentrations of both Ni and Ti were 45 ⁇ 2 % b.w. and Nb was 10 ⁇ 4 % b.w., plus naturally occurring impurities.
  • step a a solid bar 1 of memory metal, see step a).
  • a hole 2 is drilled in a conventional manner, which hole thus should be centered around the central axis of the bar.
  • step b If the bar 1 is not perfectly round or is uneven and/or rough on the outer surface, then a turning operation should be effected in order to attain sufficiently good surface smoothness and cylindricity. This is suitable in order to later attain a good fit in the cap 5; cf. underneath. In this case, the turning should be performed after the central drilling. After the central drilling, possible turning and degreasing, e.g.
  • a core 4 of suitable fit and of the same length as the blank 3 is suitably introduced into the hole 2.
  • a suitable release agent such as talcum or a talcum-containing mixture.
  • a core 4 is used instead of an internal mandrel at the extrusion, since the encasing prevents the use of such a mandrel.
  • a sleeve or cap 5 of equally good fit is threaded over the envelope surface of the blank 3. which cap has the same length as the blank 3.
  • two gable pieces 6 and 7 are welded to and around the end surfaces of the casing 5.
  • the front gable 7. as seen in the direction of extrusion is suitably rounded off around the edge, which is beneficial for the extrusion.
  • the ready blank or block 8 consisting of the blank 3, the core 4, the casing 5 and the gables 6, 7. were heated to about 1040°C and lubricated with glass on the outside.
  • the extrusion temperature may vary, to a large extent depending upon the memory metal alloy, and may suitably lie between 900 and 1 150°C, preferably between 1000 and 1050°C.
  • the thus pre-prepared extrusion block was extruded according to step d).
  • the dimension of the ready tube may vary within wide limits, depending upon the dimensions of the blank, the casing, the core and to which dimension one extrudes. For instance, if a thick- walled casing is used, then a ready-extruded tube of a smaller diameter is obtained. Further, a thicker core gives a more thin-walled tube. If one extrudes to a small diameter, of course a longer tube is obtained than if one extrudes to a large diameter.
  • a typical extension factor before and after extrusion is from 7 to 18 times, preferably from 10 to 15 times.
  • the casing 5' is removed, which can be effected in different ways. Usual h . the surface of the tube 3' has to be turned clean to become sufficiently smooth, which involves that the casing 5 " can be turned away in the same working operation.
  • the casing can also be pickled away in a suitable pickling bath.
  • the core 4' may also be removed in different ways. When producing long tubes, for instance up to 10 m, the core is removed by extending it by between 10 and 30 %, preferably by about 20 %. Then the diameter of the core diminishes uniformly along its whole length and may then easily be removed, whereby a ready tube 3' remains , see step f). In order to extend the core, a piece of the tube has to be turned away at each end, in order to grip the part of the core that protrudes by said turning, in a traction machine. At shorter tube pieces, the core may be drilled out instead of being extended.
  • Example A memory metal accoding to the above composition is prepared to a ready extrusion block according to steps a-b-c.
  • the block having the following dimensions: Blank diameter: 71 mm Blank diameter including casing: 77 mm Core (in "Hadfield steel"): 31 mm Length of blank and casing: 350 mm
  • the block was extruded at 1040°C at a pressing force of 868 Mpa (8850 kp/cm 2 ) and with a pressing speed of 135 mm/s. Thereby, an extruded block with casing with a diameter of 19.1 mm was obtained, the ready tube having a diameter of 17.2 mm.
  • the wall thickness of the ready tube was about 4.6 mm and its length was about 4500 mm.
  • the dimension ranges that are possible depend of course on the magnitude of the extrusion press that is used.
  • a press with a maximal pressing force of about 1300 Mpa (13 300 kp/cm ) is used, and a maximal starting diameter of 77 mm.
  • the blank including the casing shall have a diameter that does not exceed 77 mm.
  • the dimension range of the ready tube is from 10 to 47 mm.
  • Said minimum diameter implies a tube length of about 20.6 m. while said maximum diameter results in a tube length of about 0.94 m. all under the above mentioned test parameters. Shorter and longer blanks than the above mentioned ones are of course also feasible, for instance down to 200 mm and up to 400 mm.
  • the wall thickness can be varied by optional dimensioning of the core and may suitably lie between 2 and 15 mm. If a larger press is used, then the dimension range can be increased upwards to larger diameters of the finished tube. Thus, with a suitable press, tube diameters of up to about 100 mm may be reached.
  • niobium particles The function of the niobium particles is to increase the temperature at which the memory metal automaticalh reestablishes its original shape, since said particles counteract the reestablishment of the original shape of the metal.
  • a comparative test was also made with an identical blank, which however had not been encased but had only been provided with a core 4. An entirely inferior product was obtained, with a number of cracks. This is supposed to depend on the strong oxidation that is caused by the free access of air.

Abstract

On fabrique par extrusion un tube en métal à mémoire à base de NiTi, ce qui consiste à: a) commencer à partir d'une ébauche de métal à mémoire; b) pratiquer un perçage central dans ladite ébauche; c) introduire un noyau dans le perçage central, l'ébauche étant encastrée dans une enveloppe et entourée également, de préférence, par deux pignons, ce qui l'isole de l'atmosphère ambiante; d) chauffer et extruder l'ébauche encastrée; e) supprimer les extrémités de l'ébauche extrudée; f) supprimer également le noyau et l'enveloppe. Ceci permet de fabriquer des tubes en métal à mémoire à base de NiTi d'une longueur inégalée jusqu'à présent, telle que >/= 1/2 m.
