Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the production of precision steel tubes by cold forming of tube blanks, in particular in several forming steps, with or without an inner tool.
- Strength and ductility can be produced by hot forming from a so-called IF steel (Interstitial Free). Such steels have been known for the manufacture of deep-drawn sheets for many years.
- IF steel Interstitial Free
- US Pat. No. 5,200,005 provides for the production of steel strip by preliminary rolling at a temperature of 1260 ° C. and finish rolling at approximately 710 ° C.
- roughing is carried out at 850 ° C and finish rolling at approximately 700 ° C.
- the object of the invention is to propose a method with which precision steel tubes can be produced which, in relation to their strength, have an extraordinarily high ductility (e.g. elongation at break).
- the invention provides for the use of tube blanks made of an IF steel as the input material for the production of precision steel tubes.
- IF IF
- the tube blanks can be produced seamlessly by hot rolling under special conditions or by welding. For example, conventional HF welding processes or advantageously laser welding processes (very small heat affected zone) are used.
- the structure of the tube blanks used should have a grain size of at least grade ASTM6 up to ASTM9.
- composition of the IF steel used in the process according to the invention is expediently as follows:
- the tube blanks made of IF steel can be passed through in an excellent manner
- pipes made of IF steel offer the advantage that, despite considerable increases in strength due to cold forming, only a comparatively small loss in ductility has to be accepted.
- the ratio of the number of deformation steps to the number of anneals is expediently at least 3, preferably at least 3.5 and particularly preferably at least 4.
- Annealing should preferably take place below the normalization temperature in a temperature range of approximately 680 to 720 ° C. If the increase in strength is to be largely retained after strain hardening and at the same time a very high ductility is desired, stress relief annealing can be carried out at temperatures below 550 ° C.
- the precision tubes produced by the method according to the invention are even superior to the known precision tubes made of carbon steel.
- the overall production according to the invention is significantly less complex, although a higher effort has to be made for the production of the steel raw material, since the carbon and nitrogen contents are very high low
- Example 1 A seamless tube blank made of an IF steel with the following composition was used on a cold drawing bench
- This tube blank had a diameter of 42.4 mm and a wall thickness of 5.6 mm and had an average grain size of good ASTM6.
- Cold drawing was carried out in a total of six individual passes to a final dimension of 6.0 mm in diameter and 2.0 mm in wall thickness
- glowing was carried out at 680-720 ° C. If a comparable tube had been made from St37 steel, cold forming would also have been possible in six cold pulls.However, at least three intermediate glows had to be carried out to reduce the deformation resistance of the material to one reduce the value of the used draw bench
- Umformsch ⁇ tte is advantageously possible without an undesirably severe deterioration in ductility. Therefore, technological properties can be represented that are on a par or even superior to that of simple structural steels (such as St37) can be In addition, the number of anneals required between individual cold drawing steps can be significantly reduced. Pipes can be produced which have an extremely high forming capacity.
