Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Vorbereiten eines Rohranfanges für das Ziehen über einen Ziehdorn.The invention relates to a method for preparing a pipe start for drawing over a mandrel.
Beim Ziehen von Rohren großer Länge mit fliegendem Dorn ergeben sich häufig Reißer in der Phase des Anziehens. Dies wird dadurch verursacht, dass die Rohre exzentrisch sein können, d.h. eine ungleichmäßige Wanddicke haben, zur Mitnahme des Ziehdorns einseitig eine Delle in das Rohr eingedrückt wird und der Ziehdorn mit seiner Längsachse nicht waagerecht im Rohr liegt. Beim Anziehen kann es deshalb vorkommen, dass sich der Dorn schräg in den Ziehring einzieht und ein Abreißen des Rohres an dieser Stelle verursacht.When pulling pipes of long length with a flying mandrel, tears often occur in the dressing phase. This is caused by the pipes being eccentric can be, i.e. have an uneven wall thickness to take the mandrel with it a dent is pressed into the tube on one side and the mandrel with its longitudinal axis not lying horizontally in the pipe. When dressing it can therefore happen that the mandrel slants into the drawing ring at an angle and the pipe is torn off at this point caused.
Aus der Technik (Herstellung von Rohren, Verlag Stahleisen mbH, Düsseldorf, 1975, Seite 21, Zeilen 5 - 12) ist es bekannt, dass Schrägwalzverfahren in der Lage sind, die Wanddickentoleranz - also auch die Exzentrizität - eines Rohres zu verbessern. Die Verbesserung ist um so höher, je schlechter die Exzentrizität des zu walzenden Rohres ist. Dies gilt nicht nur für das Walzen aus der Walzhitze, sondern auch für Kaltwalzprozesse, wie es das Quer- oder Drückwalzen von Rohren darstellt. Besonders wirksam sind hierbei Dreiwalzen-Walzwerke, weil durch die Dreiwalzenanordnung die Geometrie des Walzvorgangs eindeutig bestimmt ist. Eine toleranzverbessernde Wirkung setzt bereits bei einer Streckung bzw. Längung des Walzgutes um 10 % ein. Die Wirkung nimmt dabei mit steigender Streckung zu. From technology (production of pipes, Verlag Stahleisen mbH, Düsseldorf, 1975, Page 21, lines 5 - 12) it is known that cross rolling processes are able to To improve the wall thickness tolerance - also the eccentricity - of a pipe. The The worse the eccentricity of the pipe to be rolled, the greater the improvement is. This applies not only to rolling from the rolling heat, but also to cold rolling processes, as the cross or pressure rolling of pipes. Particularly effective are three-roll mills because the geometry is due to the three-roll arrangement of the rolling process is clearly determined. A tolerance-improving effect sets already when the rolling stock is stretched or elongated by 10%. The effect increases with increasing aspect ratio.
Aus der DE-PS 43 13 648 ist eine Vorrichtung zum absatzweisen Abstrecken von Rohren bekannt. Mit Hilfe dieser Vorrichtung können große Wanddickenreduktionen erreicht werden ähnlich wie beim bekannten Kaltpilgerverfahren.From DE-PS 43 13 648 is a device for batch stretching of pipes known. Large wall thickness reductions can be achieved with the aid of this device are similar to the known cold pilgrim process.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zu schaffen, mit dem sich die Anziehbedingungen beim Geradeausziehen oder auch beim Trommelziehen mit einem fliegenden Dorn verbessern lassen.The invention has for its object to provide a method with which the Tightening conditions when pulling straight or when pulling the drum with one have the flying thorn improved.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.
Das hierzu einsetzbare Walzwerk ergibt sich aus dem Anspruch 4. Weitere Ausgestaltungen
sind in den Unteransprüchen enthalten.This object is achieved with the features of claim 1.
The rolling mill which can be used for this purpose results from claim 4. Further refinements are contained in the subclaims.
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung wird anstelle einer einseitig in das Rohr eingedrückten Delle eine rund um das Rohr verlaufende Sicke eingebracht, die den Dorn beim Anziehen in eine waagerechte Position zwingt. Weiterhin wird die Einrichtung zum Einbringen der Sicke mit der Einrichtung zur Herabsetzung der Exzentrizität vereinigt und die beiden unterschiedlichen Arbeitsgänge werden in einem einzigen Durchlauf ausgeführt.In the solution according to the invention, instead of one being pressed into the tube on one side Delle introduced a bead running around the tube, which the mandrel at Tightening forces into a horizontal position. Furthermore, the device for insertion the bead combined with the device for reducing the eccentricity and the the two different operations are carried out in a single pass.
Erfindungsgemäß wird zur Verbesserung der Exzentrizität des Rohranfangs des zu ziehenden Rohres ein Dreirollen-Walzapparat mit um 120' versetzten, nicht angetriebenen Rollen verwendet, dessen Walzkopf um das Rohr rotiert. Die Walzen sind während des Walzens von außerhalb radial anstellbar, so dass eine bestimmte Kontur auf der Rohroberfläche abgefahren werden kann. Ein Dorn, dessen Durchmesser auf einer Teillänge mit dem Innendurchmesser des Rohres übereinstimmt, wird vorher in das Rohr eingeschoben. Er hat an seiner Spitze eine Verjüngung, die der Kontur der einzuwalzenden Sicke entspricht. Durch die anstellbaren Rollen wird nun eine Sicke in das Rohr hineingewalzt. Infolge der Dreiwalzenanordnung wird dabei gleichzeitig die Exzentrizität verbessert. Nach dem Walzen werden ein oder mehrere Ziehdorne in das Rohrende hineingeschoben und eine Ziehangel gesetzt.According to the invention to improve the eccentricity of the pipe start pulling tube a three-roller rolling machine with 120 'offset, not driven Rollers used, the roller head rotates around the tube. The reels are radially adjustable from outside during rolling, so that a certain contour the pipe surface can be scanned. A mandrel, the diameter of which on a Part length corresponds to the inside diameter of the tube, is previously in the tube inserted. It has a taper at its tip, which is the contour of the one to be rolled in Surround corresponds. Due to the adjustable rollers, a bead is now in the Rolled pipe in. As a result of the three-roller arrangement, the Eccentricity improved. After rolling, one or more mandrels are inserted into the Pushed the pipe end in and set a drawbar.
Das Verhältnis δ zwischen dem ungewalzten und dem gewalzten Rohrquerschnitt wird
wie folgt festgelegt:
Darin bedeuten:
- δ =
- Verkleinerungsverhältnis
- Do =
- Rohraußendurchmesser vor dem Walzen
- D1 =
- Rohraußendurchmesser nach dem Walzen
- So =
- Rohrwanddicke vor dem Walzen
- S1 =
- Rohrwanddicke nach dem Walzen
- δ =
- Reduction ratio
- Do =
- Pipe outside diameter before rolling
- D 1 =
- Pipe outside diameter after rolling
- So =
- Pipe wall thickness before rolling
- S 1 =

Die Figur 1 zeigt einen Längsschnitt durch den Rohranfang 3. In den Rohranfang wurde
ein Dorn 1 als Innenwerkzeug eingeschoben, der gleichzeitig fester Bestandteil der Walzvorrichtung
5 mit den Walzen 2 ist. Gleichzeitig mit dem Dorn fahren die Walzen vor, bis
sie die Position "a" erreicht haben.FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section through the beginning of the pipe 3
a mandrel 1 inserted as an internal tool, which is also an integral part of the
Ab Beginn des Rückhubs in Pfeilrichtung werden die Walzen gesteuert zugefahren und erzeugen im Rohr eine Einschnürung ohne Reduktion der Wanddicke So bis zur Position "b". Nun werden die Walzen wieder aufgefahren und verdünnen die Wand bis zur Position "c" kontinuierlich auf die Fertigwanddicke S1. Von der Position "c" aus wird ein Rohrabschnitt 4 mit konstante Wanddicke S1 ausgewalzt, bis das Rohrende erreicht wird. Anschließend wird der Dorn 1 zurückgezogen.From the beginning of the return stroke in the direction of the arrow, the rollers are closed and produce a constriction in the tube without reducing the wall thickness So up to position "b". Now the rollers are opened again and continuously thin the wall up to position "c" to the finished wall thickness S 1 . A pipe section 4 with a constant wall thickness S 1 is rolled out from position "c" until the pipe end is reached. The mandrel 1 is then withdrawn.
Die kontinuierlich verdünnte Wand auf der Strecke "b" bis "c' bewirkt beim Durchgang durch den Ziehring ein allmähliches Ansteigen der Ziehkraft, also keine schlagartig einsetzende Erhöhung. Dadurch wird die Gefahr des Reißens verkleinert. The continuously thinned wall on the route "b" to "c 'causes the passage a gradual increase in the pulling force due to the pull ring, i.e. none suddenly incipient increase. This reduces the risk of tearing.
In der Regel wird die Wandverdünnung durch ein einmaliges Überwalzen erreicht. Bei schwer umformbaren Werkstoffen kann der Vorgang ein- bis mehrmals wiederholt werden.As a rule, wall thinning is achieved by rolling over once. At Materials that are difficult to form can be repeated one or more times become.
Die Fig. 2 zeigt eine Ansicht auf das System des Dreiwalzenapparates. Die Anzahl der Walzen kann < 3 oder > 3 sein.Fig. 2 shows a view of the system of the three-roll apparatus. The number of Rolling can be <3 or> 3.
