Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a tube.
  • tubings are used, which are subject to high pressures and must withstand these pressures in the long term.
  • the pressure-bearing components are exposed to a pressure load varying in time and space, partly also to a periodically pulsating pressure load, such that depending on the load level they are subject to significantly higher requirements in terms of pressure resistance when compared to components under static pressure-load.
  • the degree of wear depends on the individual stress factors such as the frequency of the pressure change and the difference between maximum pressure and minimum pressure, i.e. the pressure delta.
  • the static pressure resistance of components primarily depends on the mechanical characteristics such as yield strength and tensile strength of the material used, for the dynamic pressure resistance further significant quantities have to be considered, such as the ductility (elongation) of the material, the depth of already existing cracks in the wall of the component, the degree of purity, the microstructure and the surface quality.
  • the failure of tubes and other components usually occurs as a result of a critical growth of a crack, for example by a crack propagating from the inner surface of the tube to the outer surface of the tube.
  • the crack may be generated by local stress concentrations, for example at material defects in the form of lattice defects and at rough surfaces due to stress peaks, or already existing cracks continue to propagate due to the pressure load. Consequently, the wear of dynamically pressure loaded components is inter alia determined by a growth of cracks per pressure burst as well as the material characteristics, wherein a good surface quality may considerably decrease the probability of crack formation.
  • the materials of the tubes and components to be manufactured are selected to optimize the above mentioned major key factors.
  • a subsequent improvement of the material characteristics, for example by an autofrettage also has to be considered frequently.
  • the wall thickness of the tube in addition to a corresponding selection of suitable materials is a major factor for the manufacturing of the tube.
  • the wall thickness of a tube is calculated by subtracting the inner diameter from the outer diameter of the tube. Assuming an identical material composition, the pressure resistance of the tube increases with its wall thickness, because the growth of a crack from the inner wall of the tube to the outer wall of the tube at increasing wall thickness takes a longer time. Therefore often thick-walled tubes are used in high pressure technology.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a tube with a high surface quality of the inner shell surface.
  • a method for manufacturing a tube comprising the steps of: providing an inner tube of metal with a first inner diameter and a first outer diameter, providing an outer tube of metal with a second inner diameter and a second outer diameter, wherein the first outer diameter is smaller than the second inner diameter, inserting the inner tube into the outer tube such that the inner tube extends within the outer tube, drawing the inner tube and the outer tube together through a first drawing die, wherein the second inner diameter is reduced such that a frictional connection is established between the outer tube and the inner tube.
  • a typical method for forming of individual metal tubes is drawing of these profiles through a drawing die, which usually is carried out on a drawing bench.
  • a workpiece is clamped at a beginning of the workpiece by a clamping device and drawn through the drawing die.
  • the drawing die defines the outer diameter of the workpiece after forming, for the forming of hollow, longitudinally elongated workpieces, i.e. in particular tubes and hollow profiles, an additional second tool may be provided adjacent to the drawing die, which is disposed within the workpiece to be formed.
  • Such a second tool for cold forming by drawing is either a flying plug or a mandrel or the plug or mandrel is supported on a bar inside the workpiece as an inner drawing tool.
  • the principle of a drawing machine is based on the fact that a workpiece to be formed is drawn through the drawing die from the discharge side, wherein the workpiece prior to forming has a larger diameter than the drawing die. Consequently, it is necessary that on the discharge side, which is behind the drawing die when considered in the drawing or motional direction, a tractive force can be applied to the workpiece.
  • the drawing machine has a drawing device with a clamping device being mechanically powered relatively to the drawing die. During the drawing the clamping device clamps the work piece and initiates a tractive force.
  • an inner tube is inserted into an outer tube such that the inner tube extends within the outer tube, and the inner tube and the outer tube are drawn together through a drawing die of a drawing bench.
  • This drawing die in the context of the present invention is referred to as the first drawing die.
  • no inner tool such as a plug or a mandrel, is provided, such that in this so-called hollow drawing only the outer diameter of the tube to be manufactured is reduced and smoothed.
  • the wall thickness of the tube experiences a reduction in absolute terms, but without causing any influence on the inner surface of the tube to be manufactured.
  • the drawing process through the drawing die has an effect not only on the second outer diameter, i.e. the outer diameter of the outer tube, but also on the second inner diameter, i.e. the inner diameter of the outer tube, in the form of a reduction.
  • a frictional connection of the outer tube to the inner tube is caused by the forces occurring during drawing through the drawing die.
  • Frictional connections are formed basically by the application of forces, for example in the form of compressive forces or frictional forces. In this case, the cohesion of the frictional connection is purely ensured by the acting force.
  • the tool diameter of the forming inner surface of the first drawing die, the second outer diameter of the outer tube, the second inner diameter of the outer tube, the first outer diameter of the inner tube and the first inner diameter of the inner tube are selected such that the first inner diameter of the inner tube during drawing of the outer tube and the inner tube extending in the inner tube together through the first drawing die is reduced by at most 5%.
  • the contour of the change of the inner tube when considered in cross-section in at least one position in the longitudinal direction of the inner tube deviates by at most 5% from the average value of the first inner diameter. In an embodiment, the contour of the change of the inner tube when considered in cross-section in at least one position in the longitudinal direction of the inner tube deviates by at most 3% from the average value of the first inner diameter. In another embodiment, this deviation is at most 1%.
  • Such a requirement regarding the tool diameter, as well as regarding the first and second outer diameter and inner diameter of the outer tube and the inner tube ensures that the frictional connection caused by the drawing of the outer tube and inner tube extending within the outer tube has almost no, or at best no influence at all on the surface quality of the inner shell surface of the inner tube. This is important in so far as that the high surface quality of the inner shell surface of the inner tube as a result of drawing through the first drawing die is not to be adversely affected.
  • the free choice of the individual above mentioned diameters is advantageous as the frictional connection caused by the drawing through the first drawing die is selectably adjustable.
  • the frictional connection can be optimally adapted to the respective material characteristics of the inner tube and the outer tube.
  • the drawing of the outer tube and inner tube extending therein together through the first drawing die reduces the first outer diameter of the inner tube by at least 0.01 mm and at most 0.3 mm.
  • the value of the reduction of the first outer diameter of the inner tube is a measure of the resultant frictional connection. The larger the reduction of the first outer diameter of the inner tube is, the stronger is the obtained frictional connection between the inner tube and the outer tube.
  • the inner tube after drawing of outer tube and inner tube extending therein together through the first drawing die is strain-hardened and has a tensile strength of at least 900 N.
  • the inner tube after the common drawing has a tensile strength of at least 1050 N.
  • the tensile strength is understood as the maximum mechanical tension which the material of the inner tube can withstand before it breaks or ruptures.
  • the strain hardening of the inner tube according to the method of the present invention can already be carried out during the manufacturing of the inner tube, i.e. before the common drawing through the first drawing die.
  • the strain hardening of the inner tube can also be carried out as a result of the common drawing of the outer tube and the inner tube together through the first drawing die or occur as a result of a combination of the manufacturing of the inner tube and the common drawing.
  • strain hardening generally very tight dimensional tolerances and good surface qualities are achieved compared to hot forming processes.
  • the existing strain hardening of the inner tube after drawing of the outer tube and the inner tube together through the first drawing die has the advantage that the strain hardening results in an increase of the material strength.
  • the dislocation density increasing by the plastic deformation and consequently, by the dislocations interfering with each other during their motion. This increases the yield strength and the strength.
  • a significantly larger tension is required. This is particularly advantageous if the tube manufactured according to the method according to the present invention is exposed to high pressures, since the strain hardening of the inner tube leads to a significant increase of the pressure resistance.
  • the tube to be manufactured according to the present invention is in particular suitable for application under high pressures.
  • the first outer diameter of the inner tube prior to the drawing of the outer tube and the inner tube extending therein together through the first drawing die is in a range of 6.25 mm to 6.45 mm and, after the common drawing is in a range of 6.08 mm to 6.28 mm, wherein the first outer diameter (D 2 ) of the inner tube is reduced by the common drawing.
  • the tube to be manufactured after drawing of the inner tube and the outer tube together through the first drawing die has a wall thickness which is defined as half the difference between the second outer diameter of the outer tube and the first inner diameter of the inner tube, of at least one third of the outer diameter of the outer tube.
  • a wall thickness provides a large stability of the tube to be manufactured and thus makes it possible to use the tube to be manufactured as a high-pressure tube, such that it can withstand pressures beyond the 10,000 bar without bursting.
  • the wall thickness of the tube to be manufactured is at least as large as the inner diameter of the inner tube.
  • the tool diameter of the shaping inner surface of the first drawing die is by at least 5% smaller than the second outer diameter of the outer tube prior to the drawing of the inner tube and the outer tube together through the first drawing die.
  • the tool diameter of the forming inner surface of the first drawing die is at least 7% smaller than the second outer diameter of the outer tube prior to the drawing of the inner tube and the outer tube together through the first drawing die.
  • this tool diameter is at least 10% smaller than the second outer diameter of the outer tube prior to the drawing of the inner tube and the outer tube together through the first drawing die.
  • the percentage of deviation of the tool diameter of the forming inner surface of the first drawing die from the second outer diameter of the outer tube provides a measure of the generated frictional connection. Assuming a constant drawing speed, a stronger frictional connection is achieved the larger this percentage of deviation is. If the percentage of deviation of the tool diameter of the forming inner surface of the first drawing die is too small, there is no frictional connection and also the reduction of the second outer diameter of the outer tube is small.
  • the percentage of deviation which is reached once the first inner diameter of the inner tube changes by more than 5% both in the longitudinal direction as well as in the circumferential direction of the inner tube.
  • this upper limit is reached at a corresponding change by more than 3%, while in another embodiment, the upper limit is even reached at a corresponding change by more than 1%.
  • the inner shell surface of the inner tube has a surface quality such that cracks already existing on the surface do not exceed a depth of 50 ⁇ m.
  • the cracks already existing on the inner shell surface of the inner tube do not exceed a depth of 20 ⁇ m, and in another embodiment, the cracks do not exceed a depth of 10 ⁇ m. Typical values achievable are even at a maximum depth of existing cracks of 7 ⁇ m.
  • Such a high surface quality ensures that existing cracks hardly propagate from the inner shell surface of the inner tube towards the first outer diameter of the inner tube, such that the inner tube has a high pressure resistance.
  • the inner tube is manufactured by drawing of a hollow of metal through a second drawing die and over a second inner drawing tool.
  • the inner drawing tool can either be a fixed mandrel or mandrel bar.
  • the hollow undergoes some rounds of drawing over a mandrel or over a flying plug, wherein the blank of the tube to be manufactured is denoted a hollow.
  • Using lubricants and drawing oils between the hollow and the inner drawing tool can reduce the dynamic friction occurring between the hollow to be drawn and the inner drawing tool, which contributes to a more homogeneous drawing speed.
  • drawing oils in addition leads to a low surface roughness of the tube to be manufactured.
  • the inner tube is formed in a pilger mill by rolling a hollow of metal over a mandrel.
  • a pilger mill is a cold pilger mill.
  • the most common method for reduction of tubes is known as cold pilger milling.
  • the hollow during rolling is pushed over a calibrated, i.e. the mandrel has an inner diameter of the finished tube, tapered mandrel and thereby is spanned from its outside by two calibrated, i.e. defining the outer diameter of the finished tube, and rolled in the longitudinal direction over the mandrel.
  • the hollow during cold pilger milling at a small rotation experiences a stepwise feed towards and over the mandrel, while the rollers are rotationally reciprocating horizontally over the mandrel and thus over the hollow.
  • the horizontal motion of the rollers is thereby determined by a roll stand, on which the rollers are rotatably mounted.
  • the roll stand at the known cold pilger rolling mills is moved back and forth by a crank shaft, while the rollers obtain their rotational motion from a gear rack being fixed relatively to the roll stand, wherein gear wheels fixedly mounted on the roller axis comb with the gear rack.
  • the cold pilger milling method is more complex than the drawing of a hollow through a drawing die, but by cold pilger milling tubes with extraordinarily precise dimensions of the outer and inner diameter of the tube to be manufactured can be obtained.
  • cold pilger milling lubricants so-called mandrel lubricants, can be used between the hollow and the mandrel to reduce the sliding friction occurring and to obtain a smoother surface of the inner shell surface of the inner tube to be manufactured.
  • the inner drawing tool or the mandrel are made of steel with a polished surface, such that the inner shell surface which is spanned by the first inner diameter and by the length of the inner tube, during drawing of the inner tube over the inner drawing tool or during rolling over the mandrel is burnished.
  • a highly hardened, polished inner drawing tool or a highly hardened, polished mandrel is pressed by a great force onto the surface of the inner tube to be manufactured and rolls off there.
  • a high compressive stress is generated in the roughness peaks, i.e. in the maxima of surface roughness, which causes a plastic deformation of the roughness peaks.
  • the burnished inner shell surface of the inner tube is characterized by a low surface roughness, an enhanced dimensional accuracy and an increase in hardness, i.e. a solidified surface. These characteristics are of major importance for the resistance against high pressures beyond 15,000 bar, since these characteristics reduce the formation and growth of cracks significantly.
  • a material of at least the inner tube or the outer tube is chosen from a group consisting of a carbon steel, a low-alloy steel and a high-alloy steel or a combination thereof.
  • the material is a high-alloy steel.
  • at least the inner tube or the outer tube is made of HP 160.
  • HP 160 is a preferred material for the production of tubes with high dynamic pressure resistance.
  • the inner tube is corrosion-resistant. This feature is advantageous for use in high-pressure technology, as a beginning of corrosion, i.e. a progressive degradation, of the inner tube would negatively affect the pressure resistance.
  • the inner tube and the outer tube consist of the same material. Due to the frictional connection of the inner tube to the outer tube caused by drawing together through the first drawing die this causes the inner tube and outer tube to form a very stable connection with each other. Under microscopic consideration and in case of identical materials there is the same lattice structure of the metal microstructure in the inner tube as well as in the outer tube, such that the lattice structures can well be combined with each other on the outer shell surface of the inner tube and on the inner shell surface of the outer tube.
  • the inner tube and the outer tube are made of different materials. This provides the advantage that there may be different material characteristics on the inner surface and on the outer surface of the tube to be manufactured as required by the technical application.
  • the inner tube in an embodiment should be made of highly pressure-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials such as HP 160.
  • the outer tube when compared to the inner tube can be made of a less pressure-resistant and corrosion-resistant material. This allows a saving of manufacturing costs at a still very high quality of the tube to be manufactured.

  • the inner tube 2 consists of the material HP 160, a high strength nitrogen-alloyed austenitic stainless steel of high corrosion resistance.
  • the inner tube 2 has been manufactured in a pilger rolling mill by rolling a hollow over a mandrel of metal.
  • To perform the rolling motion there are two rolls rotatably mounted on shafts in a roll stand, which carries out a reciprocating motion. The rolls are driven by the reciprocating motion of the roll stand.
  • the hollow arranged between the rotating rolls is rolled over a tapered mandrel and experiences a stepwise feeding after each rolling process.
  • the inner tube 2 prepared in this way is characterized by very precisely determinable dimensions of the first inner (D 1 ) and outer diameter (D 2 ) and in particular by a high surface quality on its inner shell surface 8 .
  • the surface quality of the inner shell surface 8 of the inner tube 2 has also been improved my the mandrel being made of high quality steel with a polished surface, and thus the inner shell surface 8 of the inner tube 2 is burnished during rolling. This has the consequence that cracks existing on the inner shell surface 8 have a maximum depth of only 7 ⁇ m.

  • FIG. 1 b shows the same schematic cross-sectional view of an outer tube 3 ′ and of an inner tube 2 ′ extending in the outer tube 3 ′ as FIG. 1 a , but in contrast to FIG. 1 a after the outer tube 3 has already been drawn together with the inner tube 2 through a first drawing die 4 a of FIG. 2 .
  • the inner tube 2 ′ and the outer tube 3 ′ have formed a very stable frictional connection 6 with each other.
  • This frictional connection occurs in particular due to a suitable choice of the dimensions of the first drawing die 4 a as well as the outer tube 3 and inner tube 2 .
  • the tool diameter D 5 of the forming inner surface of the first drawing die 4 a for the drawing die 4 a shown in FIG. 2 is 14.5 mm and has been selected such that by the drawing of the outer tube 3 and inner tube 2 together through the first drawing die 4 a a frictional connection 6 of the outer tube 3 to the inner tube 2 is sufficiently large to provide a permanently stable connection between the inner tube 2 ′ and outer tube 3 ′.
  • the frictional connection 6 formed should not exceed a predetermined upper value, in order for the first inner diameter D 1 of the inner tube 2 ′ not to be negatively affected in form of a change of the inner shell surface of the inner tube 2 ′.
  • the frictional connection between the inner tube 2 ′ and the outer tube 3 ′ established by drawing did not negatively affect the first inner diameter D 1 of the inner tube 2 and thus the surface quality of the inner surface 8 ′ of the inner tube 2 ′, such that the first inner diameter D 1 of the inner tube 2 ′ after of cold forming in the drawing bench with the first drawing die has a value of still 1.6 mm.
  • the first outer diameter D 2 ′ was reduced from an initial value of 6.3 mm to a value of 6.15 mm by drawing of the outer tube 3 and inner tube 2 together.

  • a combined force is applied consisting of a linearly acting tensile force and a radially acting compressive force on the outer tube 3 with the inner tube 2 extending therein.
  • the tool diameter D 5 of the first drawing die 4 a is selected such that the frictional connection between the outer shell surface of the inner tube 2 and the inner shell surface of the outer tube 3 resulting from the applied combined force is sufficiently large, such that a lasting and stable connection between these two surfaces is provided. Therefore, after the common drawing the inner tube 2 and outer tube 3 form such a rigid connection, that a so-called double-walled tube is formed, as shown on the left side of FIG. 2 and denoted by reference number 1 .
  • the inner tube 2 ′ is strain-hardened by the common drawing and has a tensile strength of 1100 N.
