Definitions

  • This invention focuses on a method for producing copper tube and particularly for hard-drawn temper sanitary tube.
  • the extruded tube shell is cold formed until almost its final size, after which the tube undergoes inline annealing in oxidizing conditions in order to adjust the tube to its final size in the cold forming step with finally sand blasting to the inner surface of the tube.
  • the use of organic solvents is avoided and at the same time a tube with excellent corrosion resistance is achieved.
  • the conventional method for treating hard tubes has comprised cold forming steps following extrusion, such as bull-block drawing, straightening and cutting and subsequent degreasing, in which drawing lubricant is removed from the inner surface of the tube. Residual lubricant is removed so that it does not form a carbon film during installation, which in turn would promote pitting.
  • this degreasing step has involved immersing the tubes in an organic solvent such as trichloroethylene.
  • patent application EP 306 810 there is known a treatment method for hard-drawn sanitary tubes, in which tube is produced from tube shell using normal cold forming steps, after which the tube undergoes degreasing, wherein the tubes are first immersed in organic solvent and subsequently treated with a jet of sand.
  • EP patent application 647 723 describes a manufacturing method for half hard or hard tubes, where the intention is for the tube to release as small an amount of copper ions as possible into for example normal drinking water.
  • the tube shell is cold formed to an intermediate size, after which the inner surface is roughened.
  • the roughening can be either performed by sand blasting or etching (Beizen).
  • the tube is routed to annealing treatment at a temperature of 350 - 650 °C, wherein a mixture of shielding gas and oxygen (1-7% O 2 ) is introduced into the tube, in order to form a protective oxide film to the inner surface of the tube.
  • the tube subsequently undergoes cold drawing to a final size, wherein the reduction is about 20%.
  • the tube can be degreased after cold drawing. After the final draw the tube is subjected to further thermal treatment at a temperature of 175 - 275 °C in the presence of oxygenous gas (at least 20% O 2 ). The result of this treatment is that a very stable malachite layer forms rapidly on the inner surface of the tube, which prevents the dissolution of copper ions into drinking water.
  • hard copper tubes suitable for sanitary installations can be manufactured in a simple fashion.
  • the extruded tube shell is drawn using conventional cold forming technology until almost its final size.
  • oxygen or oxygen-enriched gas is conducted into the tube coil, and the tube is heated by inline annealing briefly at a temperature of 450 - 650 °C, preferably 500 - 600 °C. In so doing, any residual lubricants on the inner surface are be burnt off.
  • the tube undergoes a final, approx. 5-20% forming step. After this the tube is cut to the specified size and the inner surface of the tube is sand blasted.
  • the drawing of the tube through the annealing furnace is carried out at such a speed, 100 - 200 m/min, preferably 120 - 160 m/min, that the structure has not time to recrystallize or soften.
  • there is oxygen or oxygen-enriched gas inside the tube with oxygen enrichment of at least 20% and preferably at least 50%.
  • the tube is formed in such a way that its values are well within the region of hard tube.
  • One advantage of drawing after annealing is that the tube will be formed precisely to the tolerance sets.
  • Copper tube was manufactured as normal by extrusion and bull-block drawing, but in the final bull-block drawing the tube was left at a bigger size than the final one.
  • the tube coil was filled with oxygen-containing gas and heated briefly at a temperature of 500-650 °C.
  • the table below lists the properties of the tube after the final drawing (tube size 15 x 1 mm) and a comparison with the requirements set by standard EN1057 for hard tubes. Bending according to the standard means that the bending test is performed in accordance with the conditions laid down in standard EN 10232, so no tear shall be visible to the unaided eye at this stage.
  • the 1 st class mentioned in the test results means that the tube meets the stringent requirements of the standard.
