"Method and Apparatus for Producing Seamless Tubes"
This invention relates to a method of making thin-walled seamless tubes and to an apparatus ~or carrying out the method.
There has not, here~ofore, been any possibili~y of forming bends in one-piece thin-walled seamless sheet-metal tubes. Thick-walled drawn elbows and other curved tube pieces have the disadvantage that in the bent area the tube diameter changes from the normal lO diameter, due to the upse~ting which occurs on the outer side o the bend, so that exac~t maintenance of the dimensions and precision in the shaping are im-possible. Such elbows as are used, for example, as part of downspouts on houses, are therefore mostly still made of two parts which are connected by welding or otherwise. If made of one piece and then bent, they develop large, unsightly ribs which are the result o~
upsetting at the inner side of the bend.
The present invention seeks to overcome the ~0 disadvantage of the p~ior art, and to provide a me~hod of, and an apparatus for, forming bends in thin-walled tubes while main~aining the exact desired shape and dimensions. Further, the surface of the bent tube is to remain smooth. The tube bends may be made with or without cylindrical extensions and o~ a variety ~`
of metals such as iron, copper, brass, , li~33E~l aluminum, zinc and othersO They may have a wall thick-ness of about 105 mm or mored down to about 0.2 mm.
Pursuant to the invention, a thick-walled short tubular blank is placed onto a core or mandrel which determines the shape of the desired bend, and is then moved between pressure rollers which rotate and also orbit about the blank; these cause the material of the blank to flow ànd thereby convert the blank into a thin-walled bent tube section having the desired shape Io and being provided with a smooth surfaceO While the blank is moved between the rollers, these are adjusted so as to move radially towards one anotherO
The invention permits the conversion of a thick-walled blank into a bend having a wall thickness of about 0O2 to 1O5mmO The radius of curvature of the bend may be selected as desired, and the same is true of the base angle and tube diameterO The surface of the finished bend will be completely smooth and without any seam, the desired shape will be achieved with ~O complete accuracy, and the selected diameter will be fully maintainedO
If it is desired to produce the already formed bend with cylindrical extensions, a cylindrical mandrel is secured to one or both ends of the curved mandrel, and a support of the apparatus is then shifted parallel to the axis of the swaging head : . :

carrying the pressure rollers, so as to form the desired extensions. It follows from this, incidentally, that the present invention also makes it possible to convert thick-walled tubes (serving as blanks) into thin-walled cylindrical tubes without bends. In no event do the blanks themselves rotate; they are only subjected to pressure causing their material to flow, by the radiall~
adjustable pressure rolls which orbit the blanks.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention there is provided a method of making thin-walled seamless tubes, comprising the steps of placing a short, thick-walled tubular blank onto an arcuately curved mandrel; moving the blank and mandrel between driven pressure rollers of a swaging head; and orbiting the head and rollers about the blank and deforming its material to cause the same to flow and accomodate itself to the shape of the mandrel; and placing a cylindrical mandrel against one end of the cur-ved mandrel; and shifting the blank and mandrels lengthwise of the orbiting axis of the swaging head 50 as to form over the cylindrical mandrel a cylindrical extension on the bent tube.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention there is provided an apparatus for making thin-walled seamless tubes, comprising mandrel means for supparting a short, thick-walled tubular blank; a swaging head including a plurality of driven pressure rollers movable radially towards and away from one another; means for moving the ! mandrel means and supported blank between the rollers;
means for orbiting the rollers about the mandrel means in pressure-exerting contact with the blank so as to cause the material thereof to flow and become converted into ~- 4 -llZ33~1 a thin-walled tube corresponding in shape and diameter to the mandrel means; and a base on which said means and swaging head are mounted, said mandrel means including a support pivotable on said base about a vertical axis, and an arcuately curved mandrel on said support.
The invention will now be explained with reference to an exemplary embodiment whlch is illustrated in the appended drawings, but which is not to be considered limiting in any sense.
