Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing bimetallic material in a continuous process, so that the number of working steps in the process can be essentially reduced.
  • bimetallic material means a metal product formed of two metal components, where the components are either metals as such or metal alloys.
  • the components are either metals as such or metal alloys.
  • bimetallic materials let us point out for instance a metal product formed of copper and of columbic titanium filaments contained therein used as superconductor.
  • a superconductor which is high in copper and low in columbic titanium can be produced for instance as a channel conductor, where the columbic titanium serving as the superconductor is joined to a groove in the copper profile by means of soldering.
  • the insulation is generally carried out by means of an enamelling process. In enamelling, the processing temperature of the channel conductor rises above the soldering temperature, in which case the soldering joint breaks open and the conductor is destroyed.
  • a superconductor which is high in copper and low in columbic titanium can also be produced as a monolithic conductor, where columbic titanium is first packed inside the copper, and the ready-made superconductor is obtained as a final product from a production line including several working steps and heat treatments. From the point of view of the outcome, the multi-step production process is necessary for the columbic titanium only; when produced like this, copper is part of the conductor and passes there along at all stages.
  • a monolithic conductor is not so desirable as a channel conductor, but a monolithic conductor can be insulated in the enamelling process without damaging the conductor.
  • the Conform method In continuous extrusion, there is often applied a method described in the GB patent 1,370,894, called the Conform method.
  • the material to be extruded is conducted into a groove formed on the outer circumference of a wheel-like member. While the wheel turns around its axis, the material to be extruded enters into contact with a cooperating shoe structure essentially filling the groove, so that the motion of the material to be extruded is changed in relation to the wheel-like member.
  • the material is rendered to be extruded in the proceeding direction thereof, prior to the shoe structure or through an extrusion aperture provided in the shoe.
  • the object of the present invention is to eliminate some of the drawbacks of the prior art and to achieve an improved and more economical in costs method for producing bimetallic material in continuous extrusion.
  • the essential novel features of the invention are apparent from the appended claims.
  • the bimetallic material to be produced is extruded in a continuously operated extrusion machine, such as a Conform machine, so that the material flows in an essentially laminar fashion throughout the working process. Moreover, the bimetallic material is removed from the continuous extrusion machine essentially in the radial direction.
  • a continuously operated extrusion machine such as a Conform machine
  • the bimetallic material is removed from the continuous extrusion machine essentially in the radial direction.
  • the bimetallic component with a larger volume is advantageously worked into a grooved profile, and the bimetallic component with a smaller volume is inserted in the groove of said profile.
  • the obtained unit of bimetallic components to be extruded is fed onto the wheel-like feed member of a continuously operated extrusion machine, the outer circumference of said wheel being advantageously provided with a groove.
  • the bimetallic material to be extruded is for instance a superconductor material that is high in copper and low in columbic titanium
  • the mixing of the different bimetallic components must be prevented. Consequently, the bimetallic blank obtained from the feed member of a continuously operated extrusion machine is conducted into extrusion, so that the bimetallic material flows in an essentially laminar fashion throughout the extrusion process.
  • the extruded bimetallic material can be removed from the extrusion machine in an essentially radial direction with respect to the wheel-like feeding device of the extrusion machine.
  • the cooperating shoe structure essentially filling the groove of the feed member in a continuously operated extrusion machine, as well as the extrusion member containing the extrusion aperture, are advantageously designed so that there is obtained an essentially laminar flow of the material to be extruded for the duration of the whole extrusion process.
  • the channel leading to the extrusion aperture provided in the extrusion member must, at least as for the first wall in the feeding direction of the material to be extruded, be designed so that the radius of curvature at the beginning of the channel wall is at least 70 percentages, advantageously 80 - 90 percentages, of the largest diameter of the extrusion aperture, when the aperture is for example oval-shaped, or of the diameter of the extrusion aperture, when the aperture is round.
  • the cooperating shoe member essentially filling the groove of the feed member of the extrusion machine is designed so that the cooperating shoe forms an essentially concentric circular curve with the first wall in the feeding direction of the material of the channel leading to the extrusion aperture.
  • the cooperating shoe can also be rendered in the desired shape so that the material to be extruded as such forms a non-flowing area in front of the cooperating shoe, and at the border surface of the non-flowing and flowing areas the non-flowing area forms, in the feeding direction of the material of the channel leading to the extrusion aperture, an essentially concentric circular curve with the first wall, advantageously for a section corresponding a central angle of 40 degrees at maximum, when starting from the changing point of the flow and seen in the feeding direction of the material.
  • the bimetallic component with a smaller volume is located centrally as the desired core material, surrounded by a jacket made of the material with a larger volume.
  • this kind of production of the bimetallic material is advantageously carried out in a one-step continuous process, while the extrusion ratio is such that the extrusion temperature is at least 600° C.
  • the different components 1 and 2 of the desired bimetallic material are fed into the feeding device 4 of a continuously operated extrusion machine 3.
  • the component 1 is formed as a grooved profile, and the component 2 is inserted in the groove thereof.
  • the feeding device 4 is essentially wheel-like, and the components 1 and 2 are together fed into the groove provided on the outer circumference of the feeding device 4.
  • the feeding device 4 transfers a bimetallic blank 5 containing the components 1 and 2 to the extrusion zone.
  • a cooperating shoe member 6 filling the groove of the feeding device 4 guides the bimetallic blank to the extrusion aperture 7.
  • the first wall 9 in the feeding direction of the extrusion member 8 is rounded, so that the radius of curvature of the wall 9 is 80 percentages of the diameter of the extrusion aperture 7.
  • a non-flowing area 10 in front of the cooperating shoe 6 there is formed, of at least part of the material to be extruded, a non-flowing area 10, the border surface 11 with the flowing material whereof forms an essentially concentric circular curve with the wall 9 for the section that corresponds to a central angle a of about 35 degrees, when starting from the point of change of the flow and seen in the feeding direction of the material.
  • the border surface 11 extends from the groove on the outer circumference of the feeding device 4 to the wall 12 of the extrusion machine.
  • the extruded, ready-made bimetallic material is discharged from the continuously operated extrusion machine 3 in an essentially radial direction with respect to the wheel of the feeding device 4.
