Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for processing extruded hollow chamber profile sections made of magnesium or magnesium alloys with regard to their outer contour by hot calibration, possibly in combination with hot stamping and / or cutting and / or punching operations for the subsequent joining processes, from which the following assemblies (lightweight components) should be joined.
  • the DE 2 105 537 C3 describes a device for the hot calibration of rod-shaped rolling stock during hot rolling in the production flow of a continuous rolling mill, in which a die is arranged behind the finishing rolling stand and the hot-calibrating rod-shaped rolling stock is pushed through the die by the rollers of the finishing rolling stand, the die being designed as a closed ring die and the ring die, which can be heated to rolling temperature, consists of a highly heat-resistant material and that in front of the ring die there is a nozzle ring with an opening for the addition of thermally stable lubricants such as colloidal graphite, low-melting glass, soda, burnt lime or salts, and two labyrinths in front of the nozzle ring -Ring chambers are arranged and that the ring die is axially sprung in both directions.
  • thermally stable lubricants such as colloidal graphite, low-melting glass, soda, burnt lime or salts
  • the lightweight construction element consists of several extruded hollow profiles joined together in a flat arrangement.
  • the associated method comprises the steps of a) extrusion of hollow profiles with a wall thickness of a maximum of 0.5% of the diameter of the circumscribed circle of the lightweight construction element made therefrom, and b) joining of several hollow profiles in a flat arrangement to form a lightweight construction element, which has a circumscribed circle of has at least 300 mm.
  • the hollow profiles are joined by friction welding or gluing.
  • Extruded profiles in particular multi-chamber extruded profiles, distort when they exit the die of the extrusion press. This leads to problems in a subsequent joining process in which flat assemblies are to be assembled from the extruded profile sections.
  • light metals Compared to the steel materials most commonly used today, light metals have the advantage that they have a significantly lower density.
  • the lightest of these metals is magnesium; it is around 35% lighter than aluminum.
  • Today's new magnesium alloys have very good properties, such as corrosion resistance and good deformation properties, so that they can be used for extrusion.
  • a disadvantage of extrusion is that the size of the extruded profiles that can be produced is limited, so that one is forced to join assemblies from individual extruded profile sections.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method and a device for processing extruded hollow-chamber profile sections made of magnesium or magnesium alloys, whereby the hollow-chamber profile sections with regard to their outer contour by hot calibration, possibly in combination with hot stamping and / or cutting or punching operations for subsequent joining processes are directed and fixed to a uniform product size.
  • Another object is to create a lightweight construction element made from the machined hollow-chamber profile sections, which is made from individual extruded profile sections by joining, whereby virtually any size lightweight construction element can be realized.
  • this object is achieved in that, by means of the method, the extruded hollow chamber profile sections made of magnesium or magnesium alloys are brought to a dimensional accuracy with regard to their outer contour by hot calibration for the subsequent joining process in order to simplify the joining process. At the same time, it is possible to carry out stamping operations, cutting and / or punching operations together with hot calibration.
  • the hot calibration is preferably carried out in the production flow following the extrusion. This has the advantage that the profile emerging from the die already has a temperature in the range of 250-450 ° C and does not have to be additionally heated.
  • the profile sections calibrated in this way can be joined to lightweight construction elements without great effort.
  • lightweight construction elements in vehicle construction can, for example, be support structures in the form of floor assemblies.
  • the Associated Figure 1 shows a device for performing the method for hot calibration of extruded hollow chamber profile sections.
  • the method according to the invention comprises the steps of placing the hollow-chamber profile sections 1 heated to a temperature in the range of 250 to 450 ° C in a two-part calibration tool 2 preheated to a temperature in the range of 300 to 600 ° C and applying pressure to the calibration tool 2 by means of one or more press cylinders 3 of a press 4 .
  • insert elements are inserted into the end faces of the cut profile sections 1 .
  • the insert elements can have peg-like extensions, the cross-sections of which are adapted to the inner cross-sections of the hollow-chamber profile sections 1 .
  • the Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the device for performing the method.
  • the device consists essentially of a press 4 and a calibration tool 2.
  • the calibration tool 2 is designed in two parts and accordingly consists of two tool halves I, II which can be moved relative to one another, between which the hollow-chamber profile section 1 is inserted, whereby the tool halves are adapted to the cross-section of the profile to be calibrated.
  • the tool halves are moved towards one another and the profile section is calibrated, ie the hollow-chamber profile sections are brought to a uniform size and aligned at the same time.
  • the tool halves I, II have bores 5 into which the corresponding heating cartridges are inserted in order to heat the tool halves I, II or to keep them at temperature.
  • one or more stamping dies can be arranged in one or both tool halves I, II, with the aid of which a surface stamping of the hollow-chamber profile sections can be carried out on one or both sides during the calibration process.
  • cutting or punching tools are integrated into the tool halves I, II in order to carry out cutting or punching operations in the hollow-chamber profile sections 1 at the same time during the calibration process.
  • the calibrated and / or embossed and / or perforated hollow chamber profile sections can be joined to form a lightweight construction element.
  • the lightweight construction element can be designed, for example, as a support structure for a land, air or water vehicle, the individual heat-calibrated hollow chamber profile sections 1 forming the lightweight construction element being connected to one another by a permanent connection. This can preferably be done by friction stir welding, which results in short welding times and high economic efficiency in the joining process.
