Definitions

  • Keenan Attorney-Flynn & Frishauf ABSTRACT An ordinary cylindrical metal tube is formed into an intermediate tubing having thicker wall portions at which fins are to be formed subsequently, and the intermediate tubing is then subjected to a cold drawing operation by using a finlike die and a cylindrical plug so as to form fins from the thicker wall portions.
  • FIG IO B) FIG. IO (A) BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • This invention relates to a method of manufacturing fin metal tubing and more particularly to an improved method of cold drawing from hot-rolled tubing with special plug.
  • the method utilizing a hot extrusion machine and the method utilizing a plug mill are not always satisfactory in that the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the products are not uniform.
  • the method (3) wherein fin tubing produced by either method 1) or (2) are further subjected to the cold drawing operation can provide products of excellent quality or having excellent dimensional accuracy and improved inner and outer surface finish, this two step method increases the cost of manufacturing.
  • the heat of welding affects the metallurgical or physical properties of the tube.
  • a fin tubing 2 as shown in FIG. 1A may be manufactured by cold drawing an ordinary cylindrical metal tube 3 shown in FIG. 13 with a die 5 having grooves 4 corresponding to fins 1 (see FIG. 1C) and a cooperating cylindrical plug, not shown. It is, however, well known that there is formed some depressions 6 at the opposite wall of each fin formed by the above prior art method, as shown in FIG. 1D.
  • an ordinary cylindrical metal tube is formed into an intermediate tubing having thicker wall portions at which fins are to be formed subsequently, and the intermediate tubing is then subjected to a cold drawing operation by using a finlike die and a cylindrical plug so as to form fins from said thicker wall portions.
  • FIG. IA is a cross-sectional view of a fin metal tubing
  • FIG. 1B shows a cross section of a circular tube
  • FIG. 1C shows a cross section of a finlike die utilized to manufacture a fin tubing from the cylindrical tube shown in FIG. 1A;
  • FIG. 1D shows a cross section of a prior art fin tubing produced by utilizing the finlike die shown in FIG. 1C and the tube shown in FIG. 18;
  • FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal sectional view of the apparatus employed in the first step of the cold drawing process embodying this invention
  • FIG. 3 shows a cross section taken along a line III-III IN FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 shows a cross section of an intermediate tubing
  • FIG. 5 shows a longitudinal sectional view of the apparatus utilized in the second step of this invention
  • FIG. 6 shows a cross section taken along a line VIVI in FIG. 5;
  • FIGS. 7(A), 7(B), 8(A), 8(8) and 9(A), 9(B) show cross sections of the intermediate product and of the final product of a modified embodiment and;
  • FIGS. 10(A) through (.C) show a sectional view to illustrate typical dimensions of the product.
  • DETAILED DESCRIP- TION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS in accordance with this invention, to provide a fin metal tubing 2 as shown in FIG. I, an ordinary cylindrical metal tube 3 as shown in FIG. 1B is subjected to a cold drawing operation by utilizing a plug 7 having rectangular or elliptical cross section as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 and a die 8 of circular cross section, instead of a plug of circular cross section, so as to obtain an intermediate tubing 9 having a nonuniform wall thickness. As shown in FIG. 4, the tubing 9 has thicker wall portions 10 which are to be utilized to form fins as described later.
  • the tubing 9 is then utilized as an intermediate tubing and subjected to a cold drawing operation by employing a finlike die 5 having a required configuration as shown in FIG. 1C, for example, and a cylindrical plug 11, as shown in FIG. 5 so as to readily produce a fin tubing as shown in FIG. 1A which is free from any internal depressions (see FIG. ID).
  • FIG. 7B shows a cross section of a fin metal tubing having four equally spaced-apart radial fins and FIG. 7A shows an intermediate tubing to obtain this product.
  • FIG. 8B shows a cross section of a modified fin metal tubing having two spaced-apart radial fins and FIG. 8A shows a cross section of an intermediate tubing suitable for producing the product shown in FIG. 88.
  • FIG. 9 shows a cross section of a modified intermediate tubing in which diametrically opposing portions thereof corresponding to the fins of the finished products are bulged radially inwardly as well as outwardly.
  • FIG. 10 illustrates typical dimensions of a mother tube A, an intermediate tube B after the first step and a product C after the second step. These dimensions are:
  • a less expensive ordinary cylindrical tube is utilized as a mother tube.
  • the mother tube is subjected to a special deformation step by means of which portions of an intermediate tube, at which fins are to be formed subsequently, are thickened.
  • the forming flow of the material at the fins is enhanced. It is possible to provide, with ease, a fin metal tubing free from internal depressions and having accurate configuration and dimensional accuracies as well as excellent surface finish.
  • the manufacturing cost of using this invention is low because the cost of the starting material is low and because a conventional cold drawing machine can be used.
  • this invention can also provide some fin metal tubings having radial fins directed in a number of directions, having one-side twodirection fins or having many other configurations, which is suitable for use in boilers and for structural purposes. Further, it is to be understood that intermediate tubing can also be readily manufactured by a cold pilger roll and the like.
  • a method of manufacturing a fin metal tubing comprising forming an intermediate tubing from a cylindrical metal tube, said intermediate tubing having thicker wall portions at the locations corresponding to where fins are to be formed in a subsequent step;
