Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing welded tubes Copper and copper alloys in a combined production line consisting of a primary material casting plant, a hot rolling mill, a pipe forming and Welding line and a pulling device for the welded pipe.
  • Seamless pipes are, for example, via the process routes: solid continuous casting, Extrusion, cold vocationalage and drawing are made, the cold vocational also can be omitted. It is also known to use the solid strand in one Hole punching, punching cold and then to the finished dimension pull. Also worth mentioning are processes in which a hollow strand is cast, which is then subjected to the drawing process after the cold vocationalage. All described methods have disadvantages; high extrusion results Manufacturing costs, the tube qualities are not sufficient for hollow continuous casting. Seamless pipes also have poor wall thickness tolerances.
  • Welded pipes are usually made from continuously cast slabs manufactured, which are pre-rolled in hot-plate mills, then cold-rolled, be longitudinally divided and welded. Following the welding process, a Drawing the pipes using conventional drawing methods.
  • a disadvantage of the Pipe welding processes are the high strip manufacturing cost that pipe manufacturing make uneconomical.
  • the belt is manufactured using various processes. It is common Continuous casting of slabs, hot rolling of the slabs, milling of the Surfaces and subsequent cold rolling, the coiling of the cold rolled Tape and subsequent slitting into strips for further processing are fed.
  • the advantage of the cold strip produced in this way is the high level achievable capacities of more than 100,000 t / a with good surface quality.
  • the discontinuous process and the high production costs are disadvantageous.
  • Another method suggests casting thin slabs that are hot rolled make broadband unnecessary. Following this, the Surfaces of the strip are milled before the strip is cold rolled, coated and in strips is divided lengthways. This process can be carried out continuously, medium capacities of less than 100,000 t / a can be achieved with a good surface quality. Also this method has the disadvantage that the manufacturing costs are too high.
  • a third method is known as the so-called high reduction method.
  • the strip in graphite molds with a casting speed v 1 m / min cast, the surfaces are milled, the tape is with high stitch decrease cold rolled, coiled and cut lengthways into strips. This process can be continuous operated, the surface qualities are good. Disadvantages of the procedure are the small capacities around 10,000 t / a with high manufacturing costs.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide an improved process for the production of inexpensive pipes with high dimensional accuracy and surface quality To create copper and copper alloys on the rolled strip longitudinally welded pipes is processed.
  • the profitability also for the production of small to large quantities (between 10,000 to 100,000 t / a) sought.
  • the method steps according to the invention are in the characterizing part of the Claim 1 described by the sequence of process steps a) to j). It has been found that when casting a supporting strip in the specified Dimension range and the intended casting speed Tailor-made production of the strips is possible, so that a slitting of a pre-rolled sheet becomes unnecessary.
  • the strips have good surface quality and cheap material values at low manufacturing costs.
  • the casting of the supporting strip can according to special features of the invention either on a belt caster or on a casting wheel. Both Casting processes are characterized by high casting speeds and are therefore for the economical production of the strips with the corresponding Dimensions particularly suitable for immediate further processing, whereby Casting wheels have so far only been used in wire production.
  • Hot rolling of the pre-strip takes place between 600 ° C and 900 ° C, so that makes it possible Process to produce grain sizes in the material of 30-40 ⁇ m, which according to Cold rolling better conditions when forming the strips into welding tubes Offer.
  • the descaling of the hot-rolled pre-strip can be done in line with conventional ones Descaling processes, for example by chemical pickling.
  • a known one can be used to pull the longitudinal seam tube Drawing process with the steps decoiling, drum drawing or continuous Pull straight, if necessary intermediate annealing (with the soft and soft grades Semi-hard), finish drawing and soft annealing if necessary (e.g. at Heat exchanger tubes) are used.
  • the inventive method is advantageous because it is in a continuous Process flow is economically capable of welding copper pipes and tubes made of copper alloys in low to high capacity (10,000 to 100,000 t / a) to manufacture, with internally finned pipes even down to 1000 t / a and less.
  • the continuous process sequence using casting machines with very high casting speeds on the one hand enables the high capacity without on the other hand negatively affect the quality of the pipes.
  • the surface of the cast tape corresponds despite the absence of that in the known prior art intended milling of the belt surface the conditions for Precision cold strips for pipe production.
  • the one that arises during hot rolling Grain sizes from 30 to 40 ⁇ m enable more favorable conditions for molding of the strips into welding tubes than was previously the case with soft (annealed) material was possible.
  • the method according to the invention is used for the first time in practice created a useful method for producing welded non-ferrous metal pipes, the due to its high capacity, flexibility and low cost the does not have the disadvantages described in the prior art.
