- the size of the billet 54 is such that there is a specified amount of clearance between the outer surface of the billet relative to the inner surface of the liner 14 which defines the bore 16.
- the diameter of the bore 56 of billet 54 has a specified clearance relative to the outer diameter of the portions 48 and 52 of the mandrel.

- the gates 104 When the gates 104 are in their active positions, they block any forward movement of the outer die carrier 98 and maintain the outer die assembly 23 against the forward end of the container 12 and the inner die 20. When the gates 104 are in their inactive positions, the outer die carrier 98 can be removed from the chamber 100 through the front opening 99.
- a guide tube 95 is fixed to the forward side of the retaining plate 94.
- Guide tube 45 is coaxial with the longitudinal axis 18 and extends forwardly through the front opening 99.
- a table 112 is fixed to the guide tube 95 and extends below the tube 95.
- a plurality of guide rollers 114 are located on the upper surface of the table 112.
- a double ended upset pipe blank is formed in accordance with the following description.
- the mandrel 44 is shown retracted into the stem 36 to enable the billet 54 to be positioned between the mandrel 44 and the opening 15 of the chamber 16.
- the billet 54 is then loaded into the bore 16 of the container 12.
- the cylinder 69 is actuated to force the driver 46 forwardly relative to the crosshead 78 and stem 36.
- the mandrel 44 is thereby extended forwardly by the driver 46, relative to the stem 36, so that the rearward portion 48 of the mandrel is at the forward end of the stem 36 and within the bore 42 of the pressing ring 38. At this point, the mandrel 44 is maintained in a fixed position relative to the ring 38.
- the cylinder 77 is actuated to move the press 13, comprising crosshead 78, stem 36, mandrel 44, and pressing ring 38, forwardly as a single unit.
- the press 13 is moved forwardly, as shown in FIG. 5, along the longitudinal axis 18 so that the mandrel 44 extends through the bore 56 of the billet 54, through the bore 22 of the inner die 20, through the bore 28 of the outer die 26 and through the bore 32 of the back plate 30.
- the stem 36 also enters the bore 16, as shown in FIG. 5.
- the pressing ring 38 is shown in FIG. 5 abutting the rearward end of the billet 54 just prior to applying a forward compressing force to the billet.
- a preferred variation of this first step is to actuate cylinder 69 to push the mandrel 44 through the bore 56 of the billet 54 while the billet is supported on a moveable carriage.
- the cylinder 77 is actuated to move the press 13 toward the container 12, thereby carrying the mandrel 44 and the billet 54 into the bore 16 of the container to the position shown in FIG. 5.
- the billet is forced against the rearward end of the inner die 20 by additional forward movement of the press 13.
- a small forward movement of the press 13 squeezes the billet 54 and forces metal from the billet to completely fill the space between the inner surface of the liner 14 and the billet.
- Metal at the forward end of the billet 54 is also forced inwardly toward the reduced diameter middle portion 48 of the mandrel 44 as shown in FIG. 6 to form an inward bulge or "upset" 60 of material.
- the forward force of the stem 36 has squeezed the billet 54.
- the billet is thereby reduced slightly in length and the corresponding volume of the billet is diverted to the gap between the liner 14 and the billet 54 and to the gap between the mandrel and the billet to form the "upset" 60.
- the location of the intersection between the reduced diameter middle portion 50 of the mandrel and rearward portion 48 of the mandrel, relative to the inner die 20, determines the length of the preliminary forward or "pin" section 62 of the pipe, as shown in FIG. 7.
- a second ring shaped opening 53 is formed between the inner surface of the inner die 20 and the rearward portion 48 of the mandrel.
- the inner diameter of the second ring-shaped opening 53 is greater than the inner diameter of the first opening 51. This also means that the second ring-shaped opening 53 is narrower than the first ring shaped opening 51.
- Metal from billet 54 is, therefore, forced through the opening or gap 53 by the forward pressure of the stem 36 as a tubular extrusion having a thinner wall thickness. This begins the formation of a cylindrical middle section 64 of the pipe.
- the preliminary forward end section 62 of the pipe reaches the tapered forward portion 52 of the mandrel, as shown in FIG. 8, and begins to expand transversely of the axis 18.
- the length of the extruded pipe is determined by the ratio of the cross sectional area of the billet to the cross sectional area of the pipe (or extrusion ratio). For example, for an extrusion ratio of 12 to 1, for every inch that the press 13 advances, 12 inches of extruded pipe will be formed. This elongation at the point of extrusion causes the extruded pipe to slide over the outside diameter of the mandrel 44, since the mandrel is maintained in a fixed relationship to the housing or stem 36.
- FIG. 9 shows further squeezing of the billet 54 and the lengthening of the middle section 64 of the pipe and continued flaring of the preliminary forward end section 62 of the pipe as it is forced over the tapered forward end portion 52 of the mandrel 44.
- FIGS. 10 and 11 show the completion of the expansion process for the forward end section of the pipe.
- the forward end of the preliminary forward end section 62 of the pipe passes the forward end of the tapered forward portion 52 of the mandrel, it becomes cylindrical, as shown in FIG. 10.
- the inside diameter of the expanded forward end section 62 is the same as the inside diameter of the middle section 64.
- the preliminary forward end section 62 of the pipe is shown fully expanded in FIG. 11, thereby completing the formation of the forward, or "pin", end section of the pipe and is identified by the reference numeral 67.
- the length of the middle section 64 of the pipe gradually lengthens until the required length of pipe has been extruded as shown in FIG. 12.
- the cylinder 77 is deactivated and the cylinders 81 and 85 are activated simultaneously to move the stem 36 and the container 12 rearwardly.
- the billet 54 and the partially extruded pipe also move rearwardly with the container 12, as shown in FIG. 13. This creates a small gap between the container 12 and the die holder 24 and eliminates the forward pressure on the die carrier 98.
- the cylinders 110 are then actuated to remove gates 104 from the chamber 100 and the removable die carrier 98 is moved forwardly to create a gap 57 between the die holder 24 and the container 12, as shown in FIG. 14. Gap 57 is wider than the inner die 20.
- the cylinder 81 is deactivated and the cylinder 77 is again activated to move the stem 36 forwardly. This forces the inner die forwardly out of the container 12 and into the space 57, as shown in PIG. 15.
- the inner die 20 clears the from opening 17 of the bore 16, the two halves of the inner die 20 separate and fall away from the middle section 64 of the pipe, as shown in FIG. 16.
- the die carrier 98 is moved rearwardly and the stem 36 and container 12 are moved forwardly to the rear opening 103 of the chamber 100 so that the die holder 24 abuts the forward surface of the container 12, as shown in FIG. 17.
- the cylinders 110 are actuated to return to the gates 104 to the chamber 100 in front of the die carrier 98.
- the remaining portion of the billet 54 is used to form the rearward or "box" section of the pipe.
- the cylinder 77 is actuated to move the press 13 and the stem 36 forwardly a third distance.
- the space between the rearward portion 48 of the mandrel and the inner surface of the bore 28 defines a third ring-shaped opening or gap 55.
- Forward movement of the press 13 for the third distance forces metal from the billet 54 through the third ring-shaped opening or gap 55.
- the bore 28 of the outer die 26 has a larger diameter than the bore 22 of the inner die 20 so that the thickness of the ring-shaped opening or gap 55 is greater than the thickness of the second ring-shaped opening or gap 53. Therefore, the metal from the billet 54 which is forced through the third opening 55 forms the relatively thicker rearward end section 66 of the pipe, as shown in FIG. 18.
- the outer diameter of the rearward end section 66 is substantially greater than the outer diameter of the middle section 64 of the pipe. At this point, the extrusion of the pipe is complete. A small unextruded portion of the billet 54 remains after the full desired length of the pipe has been extruded.
- the unextruded portion is identified by the reference numeral 68 in FIG. 18.
- the unextruded portion 68 can be removed from the pipe at the extruder by actuating the cylinder 69 to move the mandrel rearwardly out of the extruded pipe and by actuating the cylinder 88 to move the container 12 rearwardly.
- the rearward movement of the container 12 pushes the unextruded portionrearwardly out of the extruded pipe and by actuating the cylinder 88 to move the container 68 of the billet out of bore 16 where it can be sawed from the end of the pipe.
- the extruded pipe, including the unextruded portion 68 is moved a short distance rearward to facilitate removal of the unextruded portion 68.
- the extruded pipe is removed by actuating the cylinders 110 to move the gates 104 to their inactive positions out of the chamber 100.
- the die carrier 98 is removed from the chamber 100 through the front opening 99. This enables the extruded pipe to be moved from the chamber 100 through the front opening 99.
- the unextruded portion 68 can be removed from the rearward end of the extruded pipe by any desired means, i.e., shearing, sawing, grinding, torching, laser cutting, etc.
- the extruded pipe is then removed from the chamber 100.
- the extruded pipe is a blank pipe form for subsequent finishing.
- the ends of the pipe are threaded and machined in a conventional manner to form a finished pipe.
- a modified mandrel generally indicated by the reference numeral 44', is shown within the container 12 at the expansion step of the forward end section of the pipe.
- the mandrel 44' has a cylindrical rearward portion 48', a reduced diameter cylindrical portion 50' and a frusto conical portion 52' which tapers outwardly from the reduced diameter middle portion 50' to the forward end of the mandrel.
- the mandrel 44' is identical to the 'mandrel 44 with respect to the rearward and middle portions of the mandrel. However, the mandrel 44' differs from the mandrel 44 with respect to the frusto conical forward portion of the mandrel.
- the outer diameter of the extreme forward end of the mandrel 44' is greater than the outer diameter of the middle portion 50' and less than the outer diameter of the rearward portion 48'.
- section 62 becomes cylindrical, as shown in FIG. 20.
- the inside diameter of the expanded forward end section 62 is less than the inside diameter of the middle section 64 of the pipe.
