BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] [Technical Field of the Invention The present invention is, hydroforming a steel tube is mounted in a mold, processed while pushing pressure on the over tube axis direction to the tube to a predetermined shape It relates to a processing method . 2. Description of the Related Art In automobile parts and the like, products in which a metal pipe such as a steel pipe is formed by hydroforming have begun to be adopted. In the processing method, as shown in the example of forming a T-shaped tube in FIG. 1, the metal tube 1 is placed in the dies 4 and 5, a liquid is introduced into the metal tube 1 from the liquid introduction hole 8, and an internal pressure is applied. This is a method in which a compressive load is applied in the tube axis direction by the pushing cylinders 6 and 7 from both sides to push the cylinder into a predetermined shape. The obtained molded article 3 is lightweight and can be molded into a complicated shape. The metal tube 1 is, as shown in FIG.
In addition to being formed into a tube and welding the butt,
Seamless tubes are also used. [0003] With respect to the bulging of processing in the axial direction of the tube pushing first pressure only, as the steel pipe material, soft material, n
It is known that a high value material and a high r value material should be selected. However, for hydroforming of processing while pushing pressure on the over tube axis direction to the tube as described above, the material surface of the steel pipe is the degree to which it is known that a material soft is. [0004] [0008] The present invention, a steel tube is mounted in a mold, in hydroforming for processing internal pressure over tube axis direction in the tube into a predetermined shape while pushing, processability and to provide an excellent method for processing a steel tube. In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a method for producing a fuel cell, wherein the r value in the pipe axis direction is larger than the r value in the pipe circumferential direction.
A hydroforming method for a steel pipe , comprising mounting a steel pipe having a size of 0.41 or more in a mold, applying internal pressure to the pipe, and pressing the pipe in a pipe axial direction to form the pipe into a predetermined shape. [0006] hydroforming in the present invention DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION As the molded example of the T-tube shown in FIG. 1, placed in the steel tube 1 in the mold 4, 5, the steel from the liquid introducing hole 8 The liquid is introduced into the tube 1 to apply internal pressure, and the cylinders 6 for pushing from both sides are pushed.
At 7, a molded product 3 is formed by applying a compressive load in the pipe axis direction and working while pushing it. Steel pipe 1 of interest, FIG. 2
Steel plate 2 formed into a tubular, in addition to being produced by welding butt portion may be a seamless tube, as shown in. [0007] The present invention provides a hydroforming method of the steel tube, the tube axis direction of the r values as shown in the steel tube 1 in FIG. 2 (r [phi]) is the circumferential direction of the pipe of the r value (R.theta) than
0.41 or more large listening steel pipe used. Steel plate 2 formed into a tubular case of the steel pipe 1 by welding butt portion, r [phi] is the lengthwise direction of the r value of the steel <br/> plate 2, R.theta the width direction of the steel plate 2 r Value. Here, the r value is obtained as a ratio of (strain in the sheet width direction) / (strain in the sheet thickness direction) in a sheet tensile test. A cold-rolled steel sheet is manufactured by cold-rolling a hot-rolled sheet and then annealing. Usually, the r-value in the direction perpendicular to the rolling direction (C direction) is smaller than the r value in the rolling direction (L direction). Or high. Therefore, when molding such cold rolled steel sheet into a tube as shown in FIG. 2, as the steel plate 2 for steel pipe 1 of the present invention, the rolling direction (L direction) the tube circumferential direction (direction of R.theta) It can be manufactured by stripping. [0009] hydroforming for the steel tube of the present invention,
Since the r value (rφ) in the pipe axis direction is 0.41 or more larger than the r value (rθ) in the pipe circumferential direction, in the forming as in the example shown in FIG. In addition, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the thickness of the T-shaped top portion. Therefore, it has excellent workability in hydroforming. [0010] A steel plate having a thickness of 1.6 mm (STCE specified in JIS G3141) is formed into a tube as shown in Fig. 2 and welded to produce a steel pipe having an outer diameter of 60.5 mm and a length of 300 mm. The metal tube 1 was cut out and subjected to a T-forming test as shown in FIG. As the steel plate, various steel plates having substantially the same average r value and different r values (r L ) in the L direction and r values (r C ) in the C direction are used. C
A pipe was manufactured when the direction was the pipe axis direction. Here, the average r value is (r L + 2r 45 + r C ) / 4. The T forming test uses a split mold with the die hole diameter of the T overhang part being 60.5 mm and the shoulder radius being 20 mm, and the maximum internal pressure is 33MP.
a, processed under the condition of 50mm on one side of the cylinder stroke,
The T molding height h was measured. The result is, as shown in FIG.
The value (rφ) is 0.41 or more than the r value (rθ) in the pipe circumferential direction.
When it is larger, the T molding height h is large, indicating excellent workability. Note that rφ and rθ were measured in a state of a steel sheet before being formed into a steel pipe.
Shown in [Table 1] According to the hydroforming method of the present invention,
Since the r-value (rφ) in the pipe axis direction is 0.41 or more larger than the r-value (rθ) in the pipe circumferential direction, internal pressure is applied to the inside of the pipe and pushed in the pipe axis direction, such as T forming shown in the example of FIG. It has excellent workability in hydroform processing for processing into a predetermined shape. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture a molded product that requires more severe processing than before.
