Definitions

  • the invention relates to the packaging of alloy wires of pre-erected copper, in the form of barrel crowns, and in view of uses which may require in particular training the wire before use. Only the generic term "wire” will be used in what follows to designate all of the deliverable long semi-finished products in the form of crowns, even those of non-circular section.
  • This technique is applied to wires for welding in highly cold worked steel, of mechanical strength typically between 600 and 1200 N / mm 2 and of diameter ranging from 0.8 to 1.6 mm.
  • the pre-dressing technique allows the pre-trained wire to slide correctly in a sheath several tens of meters long, which makes it possible to supply a mobile welding station from a heavy wire storage unit, which it remains fixed.
  • the material is in rotation, the tool remaining fixed. This requires that the material presents itself in the form of relatively short sections (generally 3 to 4 m) and sufficiently straight so that they can be rotated.
  • the packaging according to the invention which solves the problems encountered with the bar turner do not increase appreciably the constraints at the wire producer.
  • said wire unwound, straight with an arrow less than 5 mm feeds a bar turning machine equipped with a straightener.
  • the wire has a deflection less than 0.5 mm / m, level that may be required for high precision machining.
  • brass is preferably chosen, taking into account the use (bar turning) that is made of pre-erected wire of this first object, but as it will be indicated below, other or harder alloys "brittle" that brass can be used.
  • the upper limits of diameter and mechanical resistance pre-erected wire result in particular from the need to limit the energy stored by the pre-erected wire during the casked. Beyond a certain threshold, the energy stored would be too large to be contained by the armature of a was, and could even present a danger in case of rupture of a barrel, resulting in the total release of constraints.
  • the invention solves a problem of productivity and / or level of quality of great economic importance. Furthermore, the solution to this problem could not be anticipated or suggested by the means mentioned in the prior art and relating to the conditioning of steel wires for welding. On the one hand, for those skilled in the art of turning brass, wire dressing is perceived as an essential operation, inseparable from machining according to method B. The possibility of eliminating wire dressing cannot come to mind of this skilled person.
  • wires for EDM are described in numerous patents, for example in European application no. 526 361-A1 in the name of the plaintiff.
  • the Applicant has found that the solution found with the wire for bar turning also applies to the wire for EDM.
  • the technical problem to be solved is as follows: when the wire breaks, the wire must be threaded automatically, so that EDM can continue without the need for manual intervention. For this, the EDM wire must not have any memory effect which means that the end of a wire initially in coil or in crown, tends to form a loop winding on itself. Thus, after breakage of the wire, the end of the wire retains its trajectory as if there had been no breakage of the wire.
  • the problem has been resolved by heat treating the wire and / or straightening it before winding.
  • the invention allows the elimination of these treatments, and avoids the use of coils, with the constraints linked to their use.
  • the use of spools limits the quantity of thread per spool (standard weight of 5 kg), even if this quantity tends to increase.
  • the coils must be mounted on a motorized reel, which generates both additional costs and vibrations incompatible with the precision of EDM machining.
  • said barrel may be a sealed barrel, and contain possibly other means (desiccant bags, products likely to fix ammonia, protective products adsorbent on the surface of the wire) to avoid these risks.
  • the invention ensures hermetic storage of the wire crown pre-erected (15), which avoids the risks of corrosion under constraint of the wire ("season cracking" in English), in humid atmosphere or in the presence of ammonia.
  • Other ways can also be used to further limit these risks: installation of desiccant sachets, or products likely to fix ammonia, or protective products adsorbents on the surface of the wire, insulation of drums to limit the impact of temperature variations ambient.
  • the invention also includes the use of a packaging process any pre-erected wire, whether it is wire steel, or a non-ferrous alloy other than copper, for directly supply wire to machining machines, especially lathes and lathe machines, or cold stamping.
  • machining machines especially lathes and lathe machines, or cold stamping.
  • the plaintiff has was able to verify the applicability to the steel wire, of the concept developed with copper alloys, such as brasses, and previously discussed.
  • the precision currently accessible with a spreader bar close to 4 mm / m is 10 ⁇ m, while that accessible with a spreader bar of 0.5 mm / m or less is of the order of 5 ⁇ m.
  • productivity gain is around 15% when we go from a bar of 4mm / m of arrow to a bar of 1mm of arrow or less.
  • the Applicant has carried out numerous other tests in varying the nature of the copper alloy and its geometric or mechanical characteristics, techniques machining, and the geometry of the machined parts.
  • the pre-straightened wire according to the invention made it possible to avoid treatment thermal of the crowns necessary to erase “the memory of the brass ", and to obtain, without heat treatment, parts with an arrow of 0.05 mm, for a tolerance of 0.07 mm.
  • the Applicant has also used the pre-drawn wire according to the invention to manufacture parts, no longer by machining, but by cold stamping. It also observed that, in the case of very long pieces, typically from 30 to 50 mm, the problem of deflection also arises, due to the residual deformation caused during the bending preceding the placing in barrels, and can lead to discard of the final part, despite repeated adjustments of the dressing device. In this case also, the pre-erected wire of the example made it possible to considerably limit the value of the arrow.
  • a typical example of parts obtained by cold stamping, taking into account tight geometrical tolerances, are the anodes of alkaline batteries.
  • the tests also related to wires of different diameters (tests with brass wires of 3 and 6 mm in diameter), and of different mechanical strengths: "hard” or “brittle” alloys such as lead bronze (Cu-Sn-Pb), or lead nickel silver (Cu-Zn-Ni-Mn-Pb), within the limits as they appear in claim 1. These limits result from the need to obtain a deflection of less than 5 mm / m for the bar subjected to rotation for machining (method B). If wires that are too large and / or too strong are used, this results in a residual deflection greater than this limit value of 5 mm / m of bar.
  • “hard” or “brittle” alloys such as lead bronze (Cu-Sn-Pb), or lead nickel silver (Cu-Zn-Ni-Mn-Pb)
  • This wire according to the invention has been tested on an EDM machine, compared to a standard wire.
  • a standard wire includes a thermal or mechanical dressing treatment before winding.
  • the barrel wire according to the invention behaved in a manner similar to that of the coil wire, heat treated or mechanically straightened, according to the prior art.
  • prewired alloy wires of Cu-Sn-Pb composition (“lead bronze"), and Cu-Zn-Ni-Mn-Pb (“nickel silver at lead ”) could thus be packaged in barrels.
  • the Applicant has observed that the packaging according to the invention allowed, for an equal barrel size, double the amount of wire compared to traditional wire packaging in barrels (500 kg according to the invention instead of 250 kg according to the prior art). That is that, in traditional packaging, turns must be relatively "ventilated” so as to limit the problems of entanglement at the reel, while all turns are fully blocked and with a compact stack in the case of the invention.
