Description

本発明は、素材鋼管の肉厚よりも軸方向端部の肉厚が増加した端部増肉鋼管を製造する製造装置および製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a manufacturing apparatus and manufacturing method for manufacturing an end-thickened steel pipe in which the thickness of the axial end is increased more than the thickness of the material steel pipe.

例えばトーションビーム、排気マフラー、小径かつ厚肉のドライブシャフト、さらにはBピラー等の自動車部品や建材の中には、肉厚が一定の鋼管を素材とし(以下、このような鋼管を「素材鋼管」という)、この素材鋼管に口拡げ加工(拡管加工)を行うことによって製造されるものがある。素材鋼管から製造される部品の口拡げ加工に伴って素材鋼管の肉厚は減少する。   For example, in automobile parts and construction materials such as torsion beams, exhaust mufflers, small diameter and thick drive shafts, and B-pillars, steel pipes having a constant thickness are used as materials (hereinafter such steel pipes are referred to as “material steel pipes” In some cases, the material steel pipe is manufactured by performing an opening process (expanding process) on the material steel pipe. The thickness of the material steel pipe decreases with the expansion processing of the parts manufactured from the material steel pipe.

減肉の程度によっては、部品、特に肉厚減少に関する制限が厳しい自動車部品の肉厚に関する設計要件を満足できないことがあるとともに、最悪の場合には拡管加工された部分で割れが発生し、所望の自動車部品を製造できないことがある。   Depending on the degree of thickness reduction, the design requirements for the wall thickness of parts, especially automotive parts with severe limitations on thickness reduction may not be satisfied, and in the worst case cracking occurs in the expanded section, which is desirable. May not be able to produce

自動車部品の成形時に問題となるこのような減肉を抑制する方法の一つとして、成形後の素材鋼管における減肉が予見される部位の肉厚を、口拡げ加工を行われる前に事前に増加させる増肉加工を行って増肉鋼管としておくことが知られる。素材鋼管よりも肉厚が増加した増肉鋼管を簡易に予成形することができれば、その後に例えば口拡げ加工等の、増肉鋼管の肉厚を減少させる二次加工により増肉鋼管に減肉が生じても、二次加工後の自動車部品の肉厚に関する設計要件を満足することが可能である。   As one of the methods for suppressing such a reduction in thickness when forming automobile parts, the thickness of the portion where the reduction in thickness in the material steel pipe after formation is foreseen is made in advance before being subjected to an opening process. It is known to carry out a process of increasing the thickness of the steel to increase the thickness as a steel pipe. If it is possible to easily pre-form a thick-walled steel pipe whose thickness is larger than that of a raw material steel pipe, then it is reduced to a thick-walled steel pipe by secondary processing such as opening expansion processing to reduce the thickness of the thickened steel pipe. Although it occurs, it is possible to satisfy the design requirements for the thickness of the automotive part after secondary processing.

特許文献1〜3には、冷間での口広げ加工に用いる工具の形状を工夫することにより素材鋼管を増肉させて増肉鋼管を製造する発明が開示されている。   Patent documents 1-3 disclose invention which manufactures a steel pipe of increased thickness by increasing the thickness of a material steel pipe by devising the shape of a tool used for open mouth processing in cold.

特許文献2により開示された発明によれば、確かに、口拡げ加工の前後における外径をD,Dとした場合に{(D−D)/D}×100(%)として規定される拡管率50%の口広げ加工において増肉鋼管の管端部が破断することがない。 According to the invention disclosed by Patent Document 2, it is true that when the outer diameter before and after mouth-opening processing is D 0 , D 1 {(D 1 −D 0 ) / D 0 } × 100 (%) The pipe end portion of the steel pipe with increased thickness does not break in the opening process of 50% expansion ratio defined as

しかし、特許文献2により開示された発明によっても、さらに大きい拡管率、例えば拡管率80%で増肉鋼管を成形しようとすると、増肉鋼管の最管端部での減肉が過大になり、最後まで成形できずに最管端部で破断するおそれがある。   However, according to the invention disclosed in Patent Document 2, when attempting to form a steel pipe with an even greater pipe expansion rate, for example, a pipe expansion rate of 80%, the thickness reduction at the outermost end of the steel pipe increases excessively. There is a possibility that the tube can be broken at the end of the tube without being able to be molded to the end.

本発明者らは、上記課題を解決するために鋭意検討を重ねた結果、冷間で、金型の内部に配置された素材鋼管の端面を、軸押しパンチにより素材鋼管の軸方向へ押し込むことにより、素材鋼管の肉厚よりも軸方向端部の肉厚が増加した端部増肉鋼管を製造する際に、

図1は、本発明に係る製造方法及び製造装置1を説明するための断面図である。
The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
1. Manufacturing Apparatus FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view for explaining a manufacturing method and a manufacturing apparatus 1 according to the present invention.

図1に示すように、製造装置1は、金型2と、軸押しパンチ3とを有するので、これらの構成要素を説明する。   As shown in FIG. 1, since the manufacturing apparatus 1 has a mold 2 and an axial pressing punch 3, these components will be described.

金型2は、その内部に素材鋼管4を配置する。素材鋼管4は、素材鋼管4の軸方向について金型2に対して相対的に固定される。素材鋼管4を金型2に相対的に固定するには、素材鋼管4の管端部4aを適宜手段により固定すること、素材鋼管4の軸方向の途中4bを適宜手段により把持すること、素材鋼管4の管端部4aも軸方向へ同時に押し込むこと、または素材鋼管4を軸方向へ屈曲させて金型2の内面と当接させること等が例示される。素材鋼管4を金型2に相対的に固定することにより、素材鋼管4が押し込まれて移動することを防止できる。   The mold 2 arranges the material steel pipe 4 inside thereof. The material steel pipe 4 is fixed relative to the mold 2 in the axial direction of the material steel pipe 4. In order to relatively fix the material steel pipe 4 to the mold 2, fix the pipe end 4 a of the material steel pipe 4 by an appropriate means, hold the middle 4 b of the material steel pipe 4 in the axial direction by an appropriate means, The pipe end 4a of the steel pipe 4 may also be pressed simultaneously in the axial direction, or the material steel pipe 4 may be bent in the axial direction and brought into contact with the inner surface of the mold 2. By relatively fixing the material steel pipe 4 to the mold 2, it is possible to prevent the material steel pipe 4 from being pushed in and moved.

本発明は、例えば、
(a)増肉加工前の素材鋼管4の肉厚をtとし、外径をDとした場合に、比(t/D)が2〜10%の範囲、かつt=1.0〜5.0mm,D=21.7〜127mmの範囲で、
(b)増肉加工前の素材鋼管4の肉厚をtとし、端部増肉鋼管の軸方向端部における増肉した部分の最大の肉厚をtとした場合の増肉率{(t−t)/t}×100(%)が5〜80%の範囲で、
(c)端部増肉鋼管の軸方向端部への増肉した部分の長さLが5〜300mmの範囲で、
(d)端部増肉鋼管の加工硬化係数(歪み硬化指数)n値は0.08〜0.3の範囲で、
(e)端部増肉鋼管の深絞り性を表す特性値であるr値は0.6〜2.0の範囲で、
(f)素材鋼管4の鋼種は、例えばSTKM13Bで
それぞれ、適用することができる。特に、n値が小さすぎると座屈し易く、大き過ぎると加工硬化の程度が大きくなり押し力が過大になる。一方、r値はしわ発生に影響し、高ければしわが発生し難い。
The present invention is, for example,
(A) Assuming that the thickness of the material steel pipe 4 before thickness increase processing is t 0 and the outer diameter is D, the ratio (t 0 / D) is in the range of 2 to 10% and t 0 = 1.0 In the range of ~ 5.0mm, D = 21.7 ~ 127mm,
(B) A thickness increase ratio in the case where the thickness of the material steel pipe 4 before the thickness increase processing is t 0 and the maximum thickness of the thickened portion at the axial end of the end thickness increase steel pipe is t 1 { (T 1 −t 0 ) / t 0 } × 100 (%) is in the range of 5 to 80%,
(C) End increased thickness The length L of the increased thickness to the axial end of the steel pipe is in the range of 5 to 300 mm,
(D) The work hardening coefficient (strain hardening index) n value of the end-thickened steel pipe is in the range of 0.08 to 0.3,
(E) The r value, which is a characteristic value representing the deep drawability of the end-wall-thickened steel pipe, is in the range of 0.6 to 2.0,
(F) The steel type of the material steel pipe 4 can be applied, for example, in STKM 13B. In particular, when the n value is too small, it tends to buckle, and when it is too large, the degree of work hardening becomes large and the pressing force becomes excessive. On the other hand, the r value affects the occurrence of wrinkles, and if it is high, wrinkles are less likely to occur.

金型2は、素材鋼管4の軸方向と平行な方向へ向けて非増肉部2aおよび増肉部2bを並んで有する。非増肉部2aは、素材鋼管4の外径Dと略同じ外径dを有することにより素材鋼管4を増肉させない。増肉部2bは、素材鋼管4の外径Dよりも大きな内径d(端部増肉鋼管の軸方向端部における増肉した部分の最大の外径Dと同じ値)を有することにより素材鋼管4を増肉させる。 The mold 2 has a non-thickened portion 2 a and a thickened portion 2 b side by side in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the material steel pipe 4. The non-thickened portion 2 a does not increase the thickness of the material steel pipe 4 by having an outer diameter d 0 substantially the same as the outer diameter D of the material steel pipe 4. The thickness-increasing portion 2 b has an inner diameter d 1 larger than the outer diameter D of the material steel pipe 4 (the same value as the maximum outer diameter D 1 of the portion of the end-thickened steel pipe in the axial direction). The material steel pipe 4 is increased.

すなわち、素材鋼管4のような管は、その軸方向へ圧縮されると膨らむ方向(外径が拡大する方向)へ変形するため、金型2は、管端部4cにおいて主に素材鋼管4の外側へ向けた膨出変形(増肉)を円滑に行うために、素材鋼管4の外部側に増肉部2bを有する。   That is, since a tube such as the material steel pipe 4 is deformed in the expanding direction (direction in which the outer diameter is expanded) when compressed in its axial direction, the mold 2 mainly forms the material steel pipe 4 at the pipe end 4c. In order to smoothly carry out an outward bulging deformation (thickening), a thickened portion 2 b is provided on the outer side of the material steel pipe 4.

金型2における増肉部2bの内径dと素材鋼管4の外径Dとの差は、素材鋼管4の軸方向へ、図1に示すように一定であってもあるいはテーパ状に変化してもよく、または段差状に変化してもよい。端部増肉鋼管の外形に応じて適宜設定すればよい。さらに、金型2が分割型である場合には増肉部2bに凹部や凸部が存在していてもよい。 Difference between the outer diameter D of the inner diameter d 1 and the material steel pipe 4 of thickened portion 2b of the die 2, the axial direction of the material steel pipe 4, also or changes in a tapered shape is constant as shown in FIG. 1 Or it may change in a step-like manner. It may be appropriately set in accordance with the outer shape of the end-portion-thickened steel pipe. Furthermore, when the mold 2 is a split mold, a concave portion or a convex portion may exist in the thickness increasing portion 2b.

軸押しパンチ3は、本体3aおよび芯金3bを有する。本体3aは、金型2における増肉部2bの内径dと略同じ外径dを有する。芯金3bは、本体3aに素材鋼管4の軸方向へ向けて延びて設けられる。 The shaft pressing punch 3 has a main body 3a and a core 3b. The main body 3 a has an outer diameter d 2 substantially the same as the inner diameter d 1 of the thickness increasing portion 2 b of the mold 2. The core metal 3 b is provided on the main body 3 a so as to extend in the axial direction of the material steel pipe 4.

軸押しパンチ3は、冷間で素材鋼管4の端面4dを素材鋼管4の軸方向へ押し込むことにより、素材鋼管4の肉厚tよりも軸方向端部の肉厚が増加した端部増肉鋼管を製造する。 The axial pressing punch 3 is cold and pushes the end face 4 d of the material steel pipe 4 in the axial direction of the material steel pipe 4 to increase the thickness of the axial direction end more than the thickness t 0 of the material steel pipe 4. Manufactures meat and steel pipes.

素材鋼管4の軸方向への芯金3bの長さLは、軸方向への増肉部2bの長さL1よりも長い。これにより、素材鋼管4にしわや座屈が発生することを防止できる。   The length L of the metal core 3b in the axial direction of the material steel pipe 4 is longer than the length L1 of the thickened portion 2b in the axial direction. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of wrinkles and buckling in the material steel pipe 4.

芯金3bの外径dは、素材鋼管4の内径dよりも小さい。すなわち、芯金3bと素材鋼管4との間には長さ(d−d)のクリアランスがあり、これにより、素材鋼管4の内面側で芯金3を押してしまうことを防止できる。このクリアランス、すなわち、素材鋼管4の内径dと芯金3bの外径dとの差は、金型2における増肉部2bの内径dと素材鋼管4の外径Dとの差の20〜40%であることが望ましい。これにより、素材鋼管4を座屈させないとともに、押し込まないようにすることができる。 The outer diameter d 4 of the core 3 b is smaller than the inner diameter d 3 of the material steel pipe 4. That is, there is a clearance (d 3 -d 4 ) of a length (d 3 -d 4 ) between the core metal 3 b and the material steel pipe 4, which can prevent the core metal 3 from being pushed on the inner surface side of the material steel pipe 4. This clearance, i.e., the difference between the outer diameter d 4 of the inner diameter d 3 and the core 3b of the material steel pipe 4, the difference between the inner diameter d 1 and an outer diameter D of the material steel pipe 4 of the thickened portion 2b of the die 2 It is desirable that it is 20 to 40%. As a result, it is possible to prevent the material steel pipe 4 from being buckled and not to be pressed.

芯金3bの先端角部3b−1は面取り部またはテーパ形状部であることが望ましい。これにより、芯金3bの先端で素材鋼管4を押し込むことを防止できる。   It is desirable that the end corner 3b-1 of the core 3b be a chamfered portion or a tapered portion. As a result, it is possible to prevent the material steel pipe 4 from being pushed in with the end of the core 3b.

製造装置1は以上のように構成される。次に、製造装置1を用いる端部増肉鋼管の製造方法を説明する。   The manufacturing apparatus 1 is configured as described above. Next, a method of manufacturing an end portion-thickened steel pipe using the manufacturing apparatus 1 will be described.

2.製造方法
製造装置1を用い、金型2の内部に固定して配置された素材鋼管4の端面4dを、軸押しパンチ3により素材鋼管4の軸方向へ押し込む。
2. Manufacturing Method Using the manufacturing apparatus 1, the end face 4 d of the raw steel pipe 4 fixed and disposed inside the mold 2 is pushed in the axial direction of the raw steel pipe 4 by the axial pressing punch 3.

鋼管4のような管は、その軸方向へ圧縮されると膨らむ方向へ変形するため、素材鋼管4は、金型2の増肉部2bの側へ増肉する。   Since the pipe such as the steel pipe 4 is deformed in the expanding direction when compressed in the axial direction, the material steel pipe 4 is increased in thickness toward the thickened portion 2 b of the mold 2.

また、製造装置1では、素材鋼管4の軸方向への芯金3bの長さL1が軸方向への増肉部2bの長さL1よりも長く設定されているため、軸押し時の素材鋼管4にしわや座屈が発生することが防止される。   Further, in the manufacturing apparatus 1, since the length L1 of the core 3b in the axial direction of the material steel pipe 4 is set longer than the length L1 of the thickened portion 2b in the axial direction, the material steel pipe at the time of axial pressing Wrinkles and buckling on 4 are prevented.

芯金3bの外径dは素材鋼管4の内径dよりも小さく、芯金3bと素材鋼管4との間にはクリアランスが設けられているため、素材鋼管4の内面側で芯金3を押してしまうことが防止され、素材鋼管4を座屈させないとともに、押し込まないようにすることができる。 The outer diameter d 4 of the core 3 b is smaller than the inner diameter d 3 of the material steel pipe 4, and a clearance is provided between the metal core 3 b and the material steel pipe 4. Can be prevented, and the material steel pipe 4 can be prevented from being buckled and not pushed.

さらに、芯金3bの先端角部3b−1が面取り部またはテーパ形状部である場合には、芯金3bの先端で素材鋼管4を押し込むことが防止される。   Furthermore, in the case where the front end corner 3b-1 of the core 3b is a chamfered portion or a tapered portion, it is possible to prevent the material steel pipe 4 from being pushed in by the tip of the core 3b.

このようにして、製造装置1を用いて、端面の近傍の素材鋼管4を金型2の増肉部2bへ向けて増肉させることによって、素材鋼管4の肉厚tよりも軸方向端部の肉厚が増加した端部増肉鋼管を簡易に製造することができる。 Thus, by using the manufacturing apparatus 1 to increase the thickness of the material steel pipe 4 in the vicinity of the end face toward the thickened portion 2 b of the mold 2, the axial direction end of the material steel pipe 4 is greater than the thickness t 0 of the material steel pipe 4 It is possible to easily manufacture an end-thickened steel pipe with an increased wall thickness of the part.
