Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for the rapid production of a multilayer pipe.
  • Multilayer pipes are preferably used in case of high requirements against corrosion or abrasion.
  • Corrosion-resistant pressure vessels or pressure lines can be produced more cost-effectively by using multilayer pipes than solid versions made of appropriate materials. This is achieved by the load sharing on a thin, corrosion-resistant inner layer (e.g., stainless and acid resistant steel) and a high strength, pressure resistant outer layer (eg, fine-block steel). As a result, overall steel consumption can be significantly reduced and much of the remaining steel consumption can be shifted to low-cost materials.
  • a thin, corrosion-resistant inner layer e.g., stainless and acid resistant steel
  • a high strength, pressure resistant outer layer eg, fine-block steel
  • Abrasion-resistant pipes are made possible by the design as a multilayer pipe (such as mechanical bond, see below) in certain grades in the first place, because materials (eg high-strength steels with high hardness) can be used as an inner layer, which alone or only very difficult can be processed into tubes.
  • steel sheets - is used as a starting semi-finished a clad composite sheet of two different (steel) materials use.
  • the disadvantage of this method according to the prior art is due to the fact that the outer tube must have a higher yield strength than the inner, otherwise the lack of adhesion to the inner tube causing and therefore required elastic resilience of the outer tube.
  • This is particularly disadvantageous because high-strength materials - such as particularly high-strength steels - as they are preferably for abrasion-resistant pipelines are particularly advantageous in the interior of the tube, have high or even very high yield strengths and thus are not suitable for this production process.
  • the use of rolled and / or blast-plated semifinished product is avoided by first creating a first joint between the layers of material, such as a weld, and thereafter the respective layer of material acting as an inner tube during tube forming in the bending roll by attaching it after a certain deformation progress - Pressed further connection between the material layers frictionally in the respective functioning as an outer tube material layer and is held in this way frictionally in each outer tube, without having to expand the multilayer tube and thus the above Expansion methods mentioned.
  • this method has the technical production disadvantage that it is necessary to create a further connection between the material layers during the tube forming in the bending roll after a certain deformation progress, which is usually done by welding. For this connection, it is therefore necessary to interrupt the tube forming in order to connect the two material layers together at this further point.
  • the still unfinished pipe must be removed from the bending roll and then created the connection, so in general, the weld can be applied.
  • It can also be welded in the bending roll, which blocks it during this time. Then, the tube blank (also called slot tube) can be re-introduced into the bending roll to continue the local manufacturing process.
  • Such a procedure is extremely time-consuming and therefore represents a significant production cost disadvantage.
  • the respective inner layer it is also possible to use materials such as particularly high-strength steels which are difficult or impossible to weld.
  • materials such as particularly high-strength steels which are difficult or impossible to weld.
  • the functioning as an inner tube material layer is pressed during the Rohrfomung in the bending roller frictionally in the respective acting as an outer tube material layer and so frictionally held in the respective outer tube and without that it requires a connection, such as a weld to be created. Therefore, a time- and cost-intensive interruption of the tube forming process in the bending roll is also not required here.
  • this manufacturing process in turn has the disadvantage that in this case the pipe inner layer is not completely closed inwardly, since a part of the pipe inner circumference is formed by the on the respective base plate, so the respective outer material layer, attached stop edges, which leads to here the beneficial effects of the tube inner layer, such as corrosion or abrasion resistance can not occur.
  • This disadvantage can not be solved simply by a build-up welding in this area, as a welded joint between the material of the stop edge and the inner layer in this process, which wants to avoid welding between outer and inner layer, just out of the question.
  • the interruption of the tube forming process in the sheet metal forming - ie in the bending roll - avoided by at least two elements that later form the inner layer, initially, ie before the tube forming process, edge laterally with the later the outer layer forming material layer, that is usually welded to this, be.
  • the tube forming process So eg in the bending roll, then move the free ends of these elements due to the different bending radii (or circumferential lengths, which means the same) of inner and outer tube to each other and eventually encounter each other.
  • the aforementioned method steps by the order of their listing in the above text by no means require the same order in the execution of the method according to the invention.
  • the two material layer connections (preferably approximately) can be created simultaneously instead of successively. It is essential to first make the bend, and then create the second connection between the material layers.
  • Such bending on the end radius can be about preferably with a bending press for metal sheets, as shown in the WO 2010/118759 A2 is known.
  • L nfa THERE - SA ⁇ ⁇ which corresponds to the average circumference length (considered in the tube cross-section) - here the (later) outer tube - (and thus also the width of the respective material layer acting as the outer tube).
  • the inner layer can exactly fit into the outer layer during tube forming, which means that the respective longitudinal edges of the outer as well as the inner layer with the completion of the tube forming process - a geometrically ideal running tube forming process, ie the ideal formation of a circle (seen in the tube cross section) once assumed - at the same time abut each other.
  • the inner tube would be pressed against the outer layer only by its built-up during the forming process spring-back force. A compression of the inner tube, which would open due to the built-up in the material pressure and its curvature outwards against the respective outer material layer out in an additional pressing force of the inner tube against the outer tube, however, would not take place.
  • width of the inner layer is chosen to be greater than the right of the equation term, a possible compression allowance (see above) is taken into account, which can compensate for the production inaccuracies - such as in position and / or leadership of the material material bands to each other so that the desired maximum pressing force of the inner tube against the outer tube - at least in some - safely achieved.
  • the compression of the inner layer is provided by the two connections between the material layers, wherein the - seen in the (later) pipe cross section - respective two corresponding edges of the adjacent material layers at the time of creation of the first and the second connection between the material layers in each case - preferably approximately - lie flush against each other and the respective connection also - preferably approximately - along the respective edge - preferably by a weld along the edge - takes place.
  • the second compound is created, so is the resulting distance d 2 between the second - along or parallel to the still free (second) edge of the overlying material layer running - material layer connection and the corresponding (second) edge of the adjacent material layer to be considered.
  • the method for producing a multi-layer tube according to the present invention is characterized in that the first connection between the material layers is created by this - preferably approximately - along one of the longitudinal or transverse edges of the overlying material layer or - preferably along - along a line parallel thereto but also along or parallel to the future pipe seam.
  • the laid-up (n) material layer (s) may or may therefore lie with its longitudinal edge parallel to the longitudinal edge of the adjacent (about underlying) material layer, but need not or must not. So it is also possible that they come to lie with their longitudinal edge transverse thereto or come.
  • the connection with the adjacent (approximately below) material layer is preferably carried out along or parallel to the future pipe longitudinal seam.
  • connection along an edge or along a (preferably imaginary) line means any type of connection along the edge or line, whether or not it is Connection along the entire edge or line or only in sections along the edge or line or even in single points (such as spot welds), for instance at two points - preferably at the end points of the edge or line - or even at a single point at the point Edge or on the line.
  • the functioning as an inner tube material layer in the finished multilayer tube in cross section form a circle, which can be achieved in that the elements of the overlying material layer, which later form the Rohrmnenlage cover only a portion of the surface of the material layer, which later forms the outer layer.
  • the material layer functioning as an inner tube and forming a partial circle in cross-section in the finished multilayer tube forms a groove at the foot of the multilayer tube.
  • the multilayer tube can be closed by welding the outer tube along the pipe seam. Also, this is preferably carried out a surfacing of the inner tube along the pipe seam. Preferably, the multilayer tubular body is thus completed.
  • the material layers can be connected to the front sides of the tube, such as there to prevent the ingress of moisture between the metallurgically yes not fully connected material layers.
  • a preferred application of the method according to the present invention is the production of double-layer tubes, however, the invention is not limited thereto, also three-, four- and more multi-layer tubes of the invention are hereby basically produced.
  • sheets preferably metal sheets and more preferably steel sheets, as a material layer or elements of the material layer use.
  • At least one of the joints of the material layers is preferably used as a weld, which is particularly suitable for the aforementioned metal sheets, preferably steel sheets.
  • sheet metal forming machine is about a bending roll, for example, a three-roll bending machine, but also a press / die assembly, such as in the context of known from the prior art UOE (U- forms, O- forms, expand) -Rohrformungsvons (see, for example, the UOE method: Hiersig, Heinz M., Encyclopedia Mechanical Engineering, Heidelberg 1997, p. 704f.
