Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of manufacture of vessels adapted to contain pressurised fluids, the manufacturing apparatus thereof and pressure vessels manufactured using this method. More particularly, the present invention concerns a backward extrusion method for the manufacture of metallic vessels capable of containing fluids under pressure, the extrusion apparatus thereof and pressure vessels manufactured according to that method. In particular, but not exclusively, the present invention relates to apparatus and a manufacturing method for closed-ended hoop wrap gas cylinders adapted to contain gases at pressures above atmospheric pressure and to the closed-ended hoop wrap gas cylinders produced by the method.
  • Type I pressure vessels are formed solely of metallic material such as steel or aluminium alloys.
  • Type II pressure vessels comprise a metallic vessel (usually made of aluminium) which has a filamentous composite sleeve, formed for example of an epoxy resin, aramid and/or carbon fiber, surrounding the cylindrical side wall only of the vessel (referred to herein as hoop wrap).
  • Type II pressure vessels are generally lighter in weight than Type I pressure vessels because the metallic vessel wall of a Type ⁇ pressure vessel can be thinner than a Type I pressure vessel without loss of performance.
  • repeated dispensing and vessel re-filling of gas under pressure causes the vessel to flex and such flexing can encourage the propagation of cracks in the vessel wall.
  • autofrettage has been used to improve pressure vessel fatigue resistance.
  • Autofrettage involves applying a pressure within the bore of the vessel sufficient to plastically deform the metal at the inner surface. The technique produces compressive residual stresses at or near the internal surface, and this enhances the fatigue resistance of the vessel subjected to cyclic internal pressure loading.
  • W096/1 1759 describes the use of autofrettage in the manufacture of pressure vessels to cause regions of peak stress in the pressure vessel wall to move away from an internal or external wall surface.
