Definitions

  • This invention relates to improvements in dies used in drawing, extrusion, forging, sizing and like operations, i.e., to unitary dies, as opposed to split dies, in which the workpiece is forced into or through the die aperture.
  • the invention is concerned with such dies of the kind (hereinafter termed dies of the kind referred to) in which an insert forms the working portion of the die, i.e., the insert defines the die aperture, the insert being surrounded and supported by a bolster or case in which it is an interference fit so that the bolster or case places the insert in compression to withstand the bursting forces to which it will be subjected in use.
  • a die of the kind referred to wherein the bolster or case is spaced from the insert and spacing means is disposed between the insert and the bolster or case, said spacing means being so constructed as to be incapable of being circumferentially stressed to exert any significant compressive loading on said insert and serving merely to transmit the compressive loading from the bolster or case to said insert.
  • the amount of interference between insert and bolster of a normally constructed die of the kind referred to, is limited by the yield strength of the materials from which the insert and the bolster or case are made. This may amount to only a few thousandths of an inch.
  • the change in the effective interference produced by differential expansion of the differing materials with change in temperature can quickly become comparable with the initial interference and thus severely limit the working 3,243,989 l atented Apr. 5, 1965 temperature range of the die as mentioned previously.
  • the interference between the insert and the spacing means to stress the bolster or case to the desired degree is larger than if the same insert were mounted directly in the bolster or case.
  • the increase in interference for the same stress factor in the bolster is roughly proportional to the increase in the inside dimensions of the bolster or case.
  • the spacing means will also expand and contract with changes in the compressive force acting thereon as a result of changes in the efiective interference between the insert and the spacing means with such temperature changes.
  • the effective interference decreases with change in temperature
  • the compressive forces acting on the spacing means will also decrease and the spacing means will expand and thus partly offset the change in effective interference.
  • the effective interference increases the spacing means will contract due to the increased compressive forces acting thereon and this again will partly offset the change in efiective interference.
  • spacing means of 'a material having a coeflicient of expansion suitable further to offset the change in effective interference due to differential expansion of the insert and bolster or case.
  • spacing means of a material having a coeflicient of expansion greater than that of the insert and bolster or case would serve this purpose.
  • the material of the insert will usually be chosen for its hardness and may, for example, be tungsten carbide, a cermet or ceramic.
  • the coeflicient of expansion of an insert chosen for hardness may be considerably less than that of the surrounding bolster which is conveniently made of steel.
  • the spacing'means may be separate from or secured to or even integral with the bolster or case.
  • the spacing means comprises several, e.g., ten to twenty, spacing members equi-spaced around the circumference of the insert. These members can be separate or for convenience weakly joined at their inner or outer extremities. They may be connected to the bolster or case permanently before the insert is introduced therein in any suitable manner.
  • Such spacing members can also be integral with the bolster or case thus resembling inwardly projecting teeth and can be formed by slotting a ring or annular member at intervals therearound from the inside outwardly part way through its thickness, only the unslotted thickness thereof thenserving as the bolsterv or case.
  • the slots in this case may define non-radially extending spacing members defiectable under compressive loading for compensating large dilferential expansion between bolster and insert.
  • the spacing members are connected in a separate ring, having been formed by slotting a ring at intervals therearound either inwardly or outwardly or alternately inwardly and outwardly.
  • no circumferential connections are provided between the spacing members themselves or such connections as are provided are such that the separate spacer ring so formed is incapable of being circumferentially stressed sufficiently to exert an significant compressive loading on-said insert or to restrict the compressive loading from the bolster on said insert; the members thus serve merely to transmit the compressive loading from the bolster or case to the insert.
  • the spacing means is conveniently made of metal although other materials having suitable mechanical properties can be used.
  • the bolster or case will be annular in shape and a separate spacer ring, if provided, will likewise be annular.
  • Slots cut in such ring or in the bolster or case to form spacer members will preferably be radially arranged, so as to be substantially parallel to the lines of compressive force from the bolster and to' be'substantially perpendicular to the lines of circumferential stresses that might exist in the spacer ring/save for the presence of said slots.
  • the circumferential surface of the insert and the inner faces of the spacing members will then be. either conical or cylindrical.
  • the insert can be introduced into the bolster or case and spacing means in the usual manner, i.e., by pressing or shrinking.
  • a multi-layer bolster or case may be provided, each layer being shrunk in turn on the preceding one as is well known to obtain greater compressive loading of the insert for a given size of bolster or case.
  • FIGURE 1 is a sectional elevation on the line II of FIG. 2 of one embodiment. of a die in accordance with the invention
  • FIGURE 2 is a plan view of the die shown in FIG. 1 with the cover plate removed;
  • FIGURES 3, 4 and 5 are fragmentary plan views of modifications of the die shown in FIGURES 1 and 2 and with their respective cover plates removed;
  • FIGURES 6 and 7 are fragmentary plan views of further embodiments of a die in accordance with the invention with their cover plates removed.
  • FIGURES 1 and 2 there is shown a die of the kind referred to for use in the deep drawing of closed end steel cylinders at elevated temperatures and which comprises an annular steel bolster or case 1 of some 9" internal diameter and 14" outside diameter.
  • One end of the aperture in the bolster is provided with an inwardly directed retaining flange 2.
  • a separate steel spacer ring 3 is provided divided by equi-spaced outwardly extending radial slots 4 into twelve spacer members. These slots 4 terminate in bulbous portions 6 just short of the outer surface of the spacer ring 3 which is thus continuous. Because of its continuous 'form; the spacer ring can be accurately machined and measured prior to the assembly of the die.
  • the external diameter of the spacer ring 3 is approximately 9" and its mean internal diameter 6".
  • the spacer ring 3 is disposed within the bolster or case 1 against the said retaining flange 2 thereof and is by an annular plate 7 press fitted into the other end of the open- A. ing in the bolster or case 1 after a tungsten carbide insert 8 has been introduced into the spacer ring 3. An inwardly directed lip 9 of the cover plate 7 overlies the end of the insert S.
  • the mean internal diameter of the tungsten carbide insert S is of approximately 4".
  • the insert 8 is pressed or shrunk into the spacerring in known manner.
  • FIGURE 3 shows a modification of the embodiment shown in FIGURES 1 and 2 in which the outwardly radial slots 4 extend through the outer surface of the spacer ring 3 and thus form twelve completely separate spacing membersS between the bolster 1 and the insert 3.
  • FIGURE 4 shows a further modification wherein the radial slots 4 extend inwardly from the outer surface of the spacer ring 3 and divide the spacer ring 3 into twelve spacer members 5.
  • the slots 4 terminate in the bulbous portions 6 just short of the inner surface of the spacer ring 3;
  • FIGURE 5 Yet another modification isshown in FIGURE 5, where the radial slots 4 extend alternately from the inner surface and from the outer surface of the spacer ring 3 which is thus dividedinto twelve spacer members 5.
  • the slots terminate in bulbous portions 5 just short of the outer. or inner surface as the case may be.
  • FIG. 6 and 7 are shown dies in accordance with the invention in which the spacing meansis formed integrally with the bolster.
  • radial slots 4 extend out wardly form the inner surface of an annular member 19-, terminating therewithin in bulbous portions 6, and thus dividing the inner part of the member 10, into twelve spacing members 5 which separate the insert 8 from the outer. part of the member. which thus serves as the bolster 1 of the embodiments of FIGURES 1 to 5.
  • the slots. 4 extending outwardly from the inner surface of the member 1d are curved as shownand divide the inner part of the member 10 into eighteen spacing members 5.
  • This embodiment is of use where additional compressibility across the spacing means is required for compensating large differences of expansion between the bolster and the insert, and may be used, for example, in exceptionally high temperature work such as the extrusion of metals at very high temperature where the insert is formed from a non-metallic material to withstand oxidation and the bolster is formed, for. instance, of a suitable high temperature metal alloy Iclaim: N
