Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for forming tubes and an apparatus for performing the method.
- This process which is also referred to as "hydroforming" is used, for example, for the production of complex hollow components, such as housings for pipeline fittings, as described in the published international patent application WO 99/52659.
- the present invention has for its object to provide a method with which pipes of different external diameters and with different wall thicknesses can be easily manufactured. This also includes the provision of the device for carrying out the method.
- the invention relates to a method for reshaping a tube clamped between two axially displaceable pressure rams, which has an outlet outer diameter, an outlet wall thickness and an outlet length, by means of a hydraulic pressure that can be generated in the interior thereof, to form a finished pipe with a different outside diameter or - compared to the outlet pipe a different length and / or a different wall thickness, the output pipe being cold deformed simultaneously and uniformly over its entire length and the amount of the hydraulic internal pressure, the axial displacement of the pressure rams and their contact pressure acting on the pipe ends being coordinated such that it
- the essence of the invention is a targeted coordination of the internal pressure P H and the axial pressure P M as a function of the required wall thickness and the outer diameter, taking into account the type of material of the pipe to be formed.
- the invention has the advantage that pipes with a relatively large diameter / wall thickness ratio can be produced, which can also withstand high pressure loads with a minimal wall thickness .
- Cold forming by means of internal high pressure produces hollow profiles that meet high quality requirements and make additional quality checks unnecessary. This results from the fact that, in principle, the pressure test has already taken place during the forming process.
- the production times using the method according to the invention are considerably shorter than conventional methods for producing, for example, pipes with a larger diameter.
- Another advantage is that pipes made of relatively expensive materials can also be produced with less material than before, since the pipes are now also relatively large, even with large diameters, due to the increased strength properties caused by strain hardening during the forming process and the more closely tolerable wall thickness tolerances can be thin-walled with constant load requirements, such as the maximum permissible voltages.
- a particular advantage of the method according to the invention lies in the fact that special customer requirements with regard to outside diameter and wall thickness can be fulfilled simply and without problems by appropriately coordinating the forming conditions, without the need for complex and expensive conversions.
- the degree of deformation can be selected depending on the material so that a structural transformation leading to strain hardening occurs.
- the pressure stamps only act on the end faces of the pipe ends facing them. This essentially results in a free deformation of the clamped pipe, i.e. no die is used as used in the conventional methods. This also applies in essence if the outer diameter is not to be increased, that is to say only the wall thickness has to be increased. The wall is only slightly supported at first, because the thicker the wall, the more the inherent strength is sufficient.
- the axial spacing of the pressure stamps can be changed by moving one or both pressure stamps.
- the method according to the invention is particularly advantageous if the shaped tubes have an outer diameter greater than 219 mm, and one during forming The outside diameter is increased by at least 1.5 times the starting outside diameter in a single operation and if a seamless pipe is used as the starting pipe.
- the method according to the invention can thus be used to produce precision tubes for special applications while at the same time saving material.
- the coordination of the internal pressure P H and the axial pressure P M is of course carried out in such a way that the internal pressure is always above a value which prevents the pipe from "buckling" due to the compression and a continuous expansion or enlargement of the Sets the diameter of the hollow profile as required by a desired or required wall thickness or the wall thickness and at the same time the profile length.
- the proportions of the outer diameters before and after the hydroforming are at a ratio of more than 1: 1, 5 and within the respective material-dependent limits of up to 1: 3 of the initial to the final diameter.
- the respective process parameters in particular the applied internal pressure P H , the applied axial pressure P M and the axial path of the pressure stamp, are each stored as a function of the material and the geometry of the pipe section serving as the initial part or the finished pipe obtained.
- These stored data can serve as reference values when producing specific customer requests, ie special tubes, and can be continuously supplemented by parameters obtained.
- the quality and production reliability are increased or a production scrap is considerably reduced.
- the device according to the invention for reshaping a tube according to the method according to claims 1-9 is characterized by two axially aligned pressure rams, at least one of which is axially displaceable relative to the other and can be moved continuously by a displacement drive,
- a control device by means of which the axial movement of the pressure rams, their contact pressure on the end faces of the clamped tube and the level of the internal pressure can be set independently of one another.
- a centering device is provided, by means of which the pipe to be clamped in can be aligned with respect to the pressure rams.
- sealing elements are provided on the end faces of the pressure stamp, which seal the transition to the ends of the clamped tube.
- a support that defines the outer dimension of the pipe to be formed can be inserted between the pressure stamps.
- This support can consist of a plurality of shell-shaped segments which together form a closed shape.
- the device can be used to produce pipes with a larger diameter, for example with a diameter of greater than 219 mm and with very small wall thicknesses by cold forming, the wall thicknesses of which are very close to the minimum wall thickness for a load state required by the regulations, for example. Regulations can be standards, such as the ISO, EN or DIN standards for pipes. Since the pressing process is aimed at the end result, ie the hollow profile geometry of the pipe to be produced, by means of the control device is adjustable, precision tubes can be manufactured in a very simple and time-saving manner
- strain hardening can be achieved during the shaping, and this is done by the structural transformation of the material caused by the stretching and stretching.
- a pipe produced in this way has a uniform, fine microstructure compared to the pipes produced using conventional methods - not treated. This finer structure leads to improved strength values with very small tolerance deviations. It is essential that all of this is achieved in the single process step, i.e. the forming, and therefore no further - cost-intensive - heat treatment is required.
- a metal pipe according to the invention has the advantage that metal pipes which were produced by means of the rolling process in that the surfaces and the wall thicknesses can be produced in very small tolerance ranges. There are no dimensional deviations due to rolling operations during hot forming.
- the hollow profile has a current wall thickness at or slightly above the calculated minimum wall thickness.
- the tolerance is well below that of precision tubes, especially if there is less than 5 percent tolerance deviation of the minimum wall thickness of the hollow profile to be produced for a wall thickness corresponding to the required compressive strength.
- the small dimensional deviation saves material compared to pipes manufactured using conventional methods, which is particularly advantageous for special materials and cost-intensive metal alloys or for application-related weight problems.
- Figure 1 is a schematic sectional view of a pressing device according to the invention with a tube piece of small diameter as an output part before using the method according to the invention.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic sectional view of the pressing device of Fig. 1 with a pipe section with a large diameter after application of the inventive method.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows a pressing device according to the invention in a sectional view, in which a stirring piece 1 serving as an output part with an output diameter D A is arranged inside a pressing tool 2, which consists of an upper tool part 3 and a lower tool part 4 is composed.
- the tool halves are each provided on a machine bed 5 and a press device 6 acting from above, which hold the two-part tool mold 3, 4 closed during the expansion of the pipe section 1 by means of internal high pressure, pressure stamps 7, 8 are provided on the side, which on the one hand the front ends of the Seal pipe section 1 for use of the hydraulic internal high pressure P H and, on the other hand, to provide the pipe 1 with a mechanical axial pressure P M.
- a central through-bore 9 for supplying a hydraulic pressure medium from a pressure generating device (not shown in FIG. 1) into the interior of the pipe section 1.
- the two tool halves 3, 4, the upper tool part 3 and the lower tool part 4 have a uniform shape Internal shape on, corresponding to the final diameter D E to be produced of the pipe section 1 and are interchangeably mounted on the device.
- the upper tool part 3 is mounted on the upper punch 10, whereas the lower tool part 4 is exchangeably mounted on the machine bed 5.
- a high hydraulic internal pressure P H and a mechanical axial pressure P M are respectively applied from the side of the pressure rams 7, 8 to the pipe section 1 in a coordinated manner, as illustrated by arrows in FIG. 1, so that a desired one Component geometry of the metal pipe 11 to be produced can be produced in a highly precise manner, ie narrow dimensional tolerances, as shown in FIG.
- the metal tube 11 has been massively formed up to the inner surface of the upper tool part 3 and the rear tool part 4, i.e. pressed, a desired wall thickness d E of the pipe piece 11 to be produced being obtained in dimensional deviations of less than 5 percent of the minimum wall thickness to be produced.
- the adjustment of the hydraulic internal high pressure P H and the mechanical axial pressures P M of the lateral pressure stamps 7, 8 and the axial path a of the pressure stamp takes place in such a way that the wall thickness d E of the metal pipe to be produced is exactly 2 times the diameter enlargement despite the exemplary embodiment shown can be produced.
- the pipe 11 produced is shortened compared to the starting pipe section 1.
- precision tubes with large diameters and only very small wall thicknesses can be produced in just a single and surprisingly simple production step.
- the invention thus makes it possible to produce special pipes, in particular from expensive materials, in a very simple manner,
