Description

本発明は、鋼管の冷間引抜き方法に関し、詳しくは、鋼管の偏肉を改善し、引抜き後の外径精度、肉厚精度を向上させることができる鋼管の冷間引抜き方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for cold drawing of a steel pipe, and more particularly, to a method for cold drawing of a steel pipe that can improve the uneven thickness of the steel pipe and improve the outer diameter accuracy and the thickness accuracy after drawing.

別に記載がない限り、本明細書における用語の定義は次のとおりである。
「偏肉量」:鋼管の任意の断面における肉厚の最大値と最小値の差をいう(後述する図1参照)。
「偏肉改善量」:冷間引抜き前の素管の偏肉量と引抜き後の管の偏肉量の差である。
Unless otherwise stated, the definitions of terms in this specification are as follows.
“Uneven thickness” means a difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the wall thickness in an arbitrary cross section of the steel pipe (see FIG. 1 described later).
“Uneven thickness improvement amount”: the difference between the uneven thickness of the raw tube before cold drawing and the uneven thickness of the tube after drawing.

機械構造用部品に用いられる鋼管としては、冷間引抜きを実施することにより内外面に加工を施した鋼管が適用される場合が多い。また、例えばドライブシャフトなどの自動車用部品等において、軽量化を目的として、棒鋼に替えて鋼管を使用する場合にも、冷間引抜きを行った鋼管が用いられることが多い。   As a steel pipe used for machine structural parts, a steel pipe whose inner and outer surfaces are processed by cold drawing is often used. Further, for example, in the case of automobile parts such as a drive shaft, a steel pipe that has been cold drawn is often used when a steel pipe is used instead of a steel bar for the purpose of weight reduction.

冷間引抜きを実施する場合、引抜き後の偏肉量が多いと、最低肉厚を確保して強度ならびに安全率を確保するために、加工代を増加して全体の肉厚を厚くしなければならず、軽量化を目的とする場合であれば、軽量化の効果が減殺されることとなる。   When performing cold drawing, if there is a large amount of uneven thickness after drawing, in order to secure the minimum wall thickness and ensure the strength and safety factor, the machining allowance must be increased to increase the overall wall thickness. However, if the purpose is to reduce the weight, the effect of reducing the weight will be reduced.

金属管における偏肉を抑制し、寸法精度を向上させるために、従来、様々な方法が提案されてきた。例えば、特許文献1では、加熱炉において所定温度に所定時間均熱した低合金鋼のビレットに穿孔圧延および延伸圧延を行って素管とし、この素管を再加熱炉において所定温度に所定時間均熱した後に定径圧延を行い、望ましくは、さらに肉厚加工度を6%以上30%以下とする冷間引抜きを行う継目無鋼管の製造方法が提案されている。この方法によれば、肉厚が4mm以下の薄肉管における偏肉の発生を効果的に抑制できるとしている。しかしながら、この提案の方法では、後述する本発明の冷間引抜きにおいて採用している外径加工については何も記載されておらず、外形加工度を増大させることによる効果が見過ごされている。   Conventionally, various methods have been proposed in order to suppress uneven thickness in a metal tube and improve dimensional accuracy. For example, in Patent Document 1, a low alloy steel billet soaked at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time in a heating furnace is subjected to piercing and drawing to form a raw pipe, and the raw pipe is averaged to a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time in a reheating furnace. There has been proposed a method of manufacturing a seamless steel pipe, in which constant diameter rolling is performed after heating and, desirably, cold drawing is performed so that the thickness workability is 6% to 30%. According to this method, the occurrence of uneven thickness in a thin tube having a thickness of 4 mm or less can be effectively suppressed. However, in this proposed method, nothing is described about the outer diameter processing employed in the cold drawing of the present invention described later, and the effect of increasing the outer shape processing degree is overlooked.

特許文献2には、高周波溶接管を、内面ビードが所定高さ以下になるように切削した後、管外径減少率が10%以上でかつ肉厚減少率が5%以上になるように芯引加工する内外径精度の良好な溶接管の製造方法が開示されている。しかし、この開示の方法では、肉厚精度の向上(つまり、偏肉抑制)についての記載がなく、偏肉量が多い場合に、前記芯引加工によりこの偏肉を改善できるという保証はない。   In Patent Document 2, a high-frequency welded pipe is cut so that the inner bead has a predetermined height or less, and then the core outer diameter reduction rate is 10% or more and the thickness reduction rate is 5% or more. A method of manufacturing a welded pipe with good inner / outer diameter accuracy for drawing is disclosed. However, in the method of this disclosure, there is no description about improvement in thickness accuracy (that is, suppression of uneven thickness), and there is no guarantee that the uneven thickness can be improved by the core drawing process when the uneven thickness is large.

また、特許文献3には、最終工程において、肉厚加工度/外径加工度を1.5以下にして冷間仕上げする鋼管の製造方法が開示されている。同文献に記載の方法は、冷間加工仕上げして得られた油井管のL方向の圧縮強度が引張強度の80%以上の鋼管を得るための方法で、後述する本発明の冷間引抜きにおいてパラメータとして採用している肉厚加工度/外径加工度が規定に含まれるのであるが、偏肉抑制については何ら言及されていない。   Patent Document 3 discloses a method of manufacturing a steel pipe that is cold-finished with a wall thickness working degree / outer diameter working degree of 1.5 or less in the final process. The method described in this document is a method for obtaining a steel pipe whose compressive strength in the L direction of an oil well pipe obtained by cold working finish is 80% or more of the tensile strength, and in the cold drawing of the present invention described later. Although the thickness processing degree / outer diameter processing degree employed as a parameter is included in the regulation, no mention is made of uneven thickness control.

本発明者は、上記の課題、すなわち冷間引抜き後の偏肉を抑制するためには、厚肉側肉厚の加工度RT(以下、単に「肉厚加工度RT」という)だけではなく外径加工度RDを適正化することが必要であると考え、特に、外径加工度と、肉厚加工度/外径加工度の比(RT/RD)が偏肉の抑制に及ぼす影響に着目し、調査を行った。具体的には、機械加工により偏芯、偏肉を付与した素管を用いて、加工度(外径加工度および肉厚加工度)を広範囲にわたって変化させたときの偏肉改善量の変化を調査した。 In order to suppress the above-described problem, that is, uneven thickness after cold drawing, the present inventor is not limited to the thickness-side wall thickness processing R T (hereinafter simply referred to as “thickness processing R T ”). In particular, it is necessary to optimize the outer diameter processing degree R D , and in particular, the ratio of the outer diameter processing degree and the thickness processing degree / outer diameter processing degree (R T / R D ) suppresses uneven thickness. We focused on the effects on the environment. Specifically, the change in the amount of uneven thickness improvement when the degree of processing (outer diameter processing degree and wall thickness processing degree) is changed over a wide range by using a raw tube to which eccentricity and thickness are given by machining. investigated.

図1は、加工度による偏肉改善量の変化の調査で使用した偏芯偏肉素管の断面形状を模式的に例示する図である。この素管の寸法は、外径38.1mm、肉厚4.0mmであり、同図に示すように、偏肉量は0.6mm(偏肉率:15%)である。   FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically illustrating a cross-sectional shape of an eccentric thickness-decreasing element tube used in an investigation of a change in an amount of improvement in thickness deviation according to the degree of processing. The dimensions of the tube are an outer diameter of 38.1 mm and a wall thickness of 4.0 mm. As shown in the figure, the amount of uneven thickness is 0.6 mm (thickness ratio: 15%).

調査結果の詳細は後述する実施例に示すが、図1に示した偏芯偏肉素管を冷間引抜きして偏肉を改善するために最適な外径加工度RDおよび肉厚加工度RTは、下記(1)式および(2)式を満たすものであることが判明した。
20(%)≦RD≦35(%) ・・・(1)
5(%)≦RT≦25(%) ・・・(2)
Details of the results of the investigation are shown in the examples described later. The optimum outer diameter processing degree R D and thickness processing degree to improve the uneven thickness by cold-drawing the eccentric eccentric wall pipe shown in FIG. R T was found to satisfy the following formulas (1) and (2).
20 (%) ≦ R D ≦ 35 (%) (1)
5 (%) ≦ R T ≦ 25 (%) (2)

さらに、下記(3)式、さらには管の断面積減少率SPが下記(4)式満たすのが望ましいことも判明した。
T/RD≦0.5 ・・・(3)
P≦50(%) ・・・(4)
Further, the following equation (3), further the cross-sectional area reduction ratio S P output tube has also been found that it is desirable to satisfy the following equation (4).
R T / R D ≦ 0.5 (3)
S P ≦ 50 (%) (4)

本発明の鋼管の冷間引抜き方法において、外径加工度RDが前記の(1)式を満たすこととするのは、後述する実施例から明らかなように、外径加工度RDを20%以上とすることにより凡そ50%以上の大きな偏肉改善効果が得られるからである。一方、外径加工度RDを35%以下とするのは、35%を超えると引抜き時に管が破断する可能性が高くなり、安定した製造ができないからである。 In the method for cold drawing of a steel pipe of the present invention, the outer diameter processing degree R D satisfies the above-mentioned formula (1), as apparent from the examples described later, the outer diameter processing degree R D is 20 This is because a large thickness improvement effect of about 50% or more can be obtained by setting the ratio to at least%. On the other hand, the reason why the outer diameter working degree R D is set to 35% or less is that if it exceeds 35%, there is a high possibility that the pipe will break when drawn, and stable production cannot be performed.

また、肉厚加工度RTが前記の(2)式を満たすこととするのは、肉厚加工度RTが5%未満の場合には、外径、肉厚の寸法精度が低下し、25%を超えると引抜き時に管が破断する可能性が高くなるからである。 Also, the wall thickness reduction degree R T is to satisfy the above equation (2), when the wall thickness working ratio R T is less than 5%, the outer diameter, the dimensional accuracy of the thickness decreases, This is because if it exceeds 25%, there is a high possibility that the tube will break during drawing.

本発明の冷間引抜き方法において、さらに、前記の(3)式を満たす条件で冷間引抜きを実施することとすれば、より大きい偏肉改善効果が得られるので望ましい。   In the cold drawing method of the present invention, it is desirable that the cold drawing is performed under the condition satisfying the above-mentioned formula (3), since a larger uneven thickness improvement effect can be obtained.

さらに、本発明の冷間引抜き方法において、前記の(3)式を満たし、かつ前記の(4)式を満たす条件で冷間引抜きを実施することとすれば、大きな偏肉改善効果が得られることに加え、引抜き時に管が破断するおそれがなくなるので望ましい。   Furthermore, in the cold drawing method of the present invention, if the cold drawing is performed under the condition that satisfies the above expression (3) and satisfies the above expression (4), a large uneven thickness improvement effect can be obtained. In addition, it is desirable because there is no risk of the tube breaking during drawing.

前述のように、本発明の鋼管の冷間引抜き方法においては、外径加工度RDを20%以上と大きくすることにより大きな偏肉改善効果が得られる。そのメカニズムを解明するため、肉厚加工度を一定(10.0%)とし、外径加工度が本発明の規定を満たす21.1%の場合と、本発明の規定から外れる10.0%の場合について、途中止め材の厚肉側および薄肉側の肉厚測定を行った。「途中止め材」とは、引抜きの際に材料(素管)がダイスアプローチ部に接触した位置からダイスストレート部終了位置までの間の途中で引抜きを止めた材料である。 As described above, in the method for cold drawing of a steel pipe according to the present invention, a large thickness improvement effect can be obtained by increasing the outer diameter processing degree R D to 20% or more. In order to elucidate the mechanism, the thickness processing degree is constant (10.0%), the outer diameter processing degree is 21.1% that satisfies the provisions of the present invention, and 10.0% that deviates from the provisions of the present invention. In this case, the thickness measurement on the thick side and the thin side of the intermediate stopper was performed. The “intermediate stop material” is a material in which the drawing is stopped in the middle from the position where the material (element tube) contacts the die approach portion to the end position of the die straight portion at the time of drawing.

偏芯偏肉がある素管を引抜き加工した場合、ダイスを通過中の素管は、素管と工具の接触状態により次の図2、図3に示すように3つの区間(領域)に分けられるが、調査の結果、以下に述べるように、外径縮径領域と厚肉側肉厚加工領域の延長(つまり、これら両領域が長くなるような状態)が偏肉の改善に有効であることが判明した。   When a pipe with eccentric thickness is drawn, the pipe passing through the die is divided into three sections (regions) according to the contact state between the pipe and the tool as shown in FIGS. However, as a result of the investigation, as described below, the extension of the outer diameter reduction region and the thick side thick processing region (that is, the state where both these regions become longer) is effective in improving the uneven thickness. It has been found.

図2および図3は、それぞれ外径加工度が21.1%および10.0%の場合における途中止め材の肉厚測定結果を示す図である。両図において、(a)は加工中の肉厚変化を示す図、(b)は素管とダイスおよびプラグの位置関係を示す図である。   FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are views showing the thickness measurement results of the intermediate stopper when the outer diameter processing degree is 21.1% and 10.0%, respectively. In both figures, (a) is a diagram showing the change in thickness during processing, and (b) is a diagram showing the positional relationship between the blank tube, the die and the plug.

図2および図3の(b)に示すように、区間(i)はダイス2により素管1の外径が絞られる外径縮径領域で、素管1の厚肉側の外面がダイス2と接触する位置から厚肉側の内面がプラグ3と接触する位置までの区間である。区間(ii)はダイス2とプラグ3により素管1の厚肉側が加工を受ける肉厚加工領域で、前記厚肉側の内面がプラグ3と接触する位置から薄肉側の内面がプラグ3と接触する位置までの区間である。区間(iii)は薄肉側の内面がプラグ3と接触する位置からダイス2のストレート部の終了位置までの区間である。また、図2および図3の(a)において、横軸は、ダイスストレート部の開始位置を基準(0mm)として表した軸方向位置である。   As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3B, the section (i) is an outer diameter reduction region where the outer diameter of the raw tube 1 is reduced by the die 2, and the outer surface on the thick side of the raw tube 1 is the die 2. This is a section from the position in contact with the plug 3 to the position in which the inner surface on the thick wall side contacts the plug 3. Section (ii) is a thick processing region where the thick wall side of the blank tube 1 is processed by the die 2 and the plug 3, and the inner surface on the thin wall side contacts the plug 3 from the position where the inner surface on the thick wall side contacts the plug 3. It is a section to the position to do. The section (iii) is a section from the position where the inner surface on the thin side contacts the plug 3 to the end position of the straight portion of the die 2. Moreover, in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3A, the horizontal axis is an axial position expressed with the start position of the die straight portion as a reference (0 mm).

図2(a)と図3(a)を比較すると、外径加工度が21.1%の場合(図2(a))は、外径加工度が10.0%の場合(図3(a))に比べて、区間(i)の外径縮径領域と区間(ii)の厚肉側肉厚加工領域が長いのが特徴である。そのため、厚肉側から薄肉側へのメタルフローが起こりやすく、素管が(i)と(ii)の区間を通過する間に偏肉量が減少する。   Comparing FIG. 2A and FIG. 3A, when the outer diameter processing degree is 21.1% (FIG. 2A), the outer diameter processing degree is 10.0% (FIG. 3 ( Compared to a)), the outer diameter reduction region in the section (i) and the thick wall side thick processing region in the section (ii) are longer. Therefore, metal flow from the thick wall side to the thin wall side is likely to occur, and the amount of uneven thickness decreases while the raw tube passes through the sections (i) and (ii).

すなわち、図2(a)において、区間(i)では、加工度が大きく内面側が拘束されていないため素管1の厚肉側も若干増肉するが、区間(i)が長いので、薄肉側へのメタルフローにより薄肉側が大きく増肉して偏肉量が減少する。次の区間(ii)では、内面側がプラグ3で拘束されているので厚肉側の肉厚加工により厚肉側の肉厚が大きく減肉し、薄肉側ではメタルフローが続いて増肉する。その結果、偏肉量が大きく減少する(図2(a)中に楕円で囲んだ部分)。そのため、ダイスセンターとプラグセンターのずれが少なくなり、引抜き後の偏肉が抑制されると考えられる。   That is, in section (i) in FIG. 2 (a), since the degree of processing is large and the inner surface side is not restrained, the thick wall side of the raw tube 1 is slightly increased, but the section (i) is long, so the thin wall side Due to the metal flow, the thickness of the thin wall is greatly increased and the uneven thickness is reduced. In the next section (ii), since the inner surface side is restrained by the plug 3, the thickness on the thick side is greatly reduced by the thick wall processing, and the metal flow continues to increase on the thin side. As a result, the amount of uneven thickness is greatly reduced (portion surrounded by an ellipse in FIG. 2A). Therefore, it is considered that deviation between the die center and the plug center is reduced, and uneven thickness after drawing is suppressed.

これに対し、図3(a)においては、加工度が小さく、区間(i)と区間(ii)が短いため、薄肉側へのメタルフローが起こりにくく、偏肉量の変化はほとんど起こらない。そのため、ダイスセンターとプラグセンターのずれが大きく、素管の偏肉は改善されない。   On the other hand, in FIG. 3 (a), since the degree of processing is small and the sections (i) and (ii) are short, the metal flow to the thin wall side hardly occurs, and the change in the amount of uneven thickness hardly occurs. For this reason, the deviation between the die center and the plug center is large, and the uneven thickness of the raw tube is not improved.

表1は、図2(a)に示した肉厚変化を、区間(i)の外径縮径および区間(ii)の厚肉側肉厚加工別に整理したものである。   Table 1 summarizes the wall thickness changes shown in FIG. 2A according to the outer diameter reduction in the section (i) and the thick wall thickness processing in the section (ii).

以上述べたように、偏芯偏肉素管を引抜き加工した場合における偏肉改善効果は、外径縮径や厚肉側肉厚加工により発生した厚肉側から薄肉側への円周方向のメタルフローにより肉厚が均一化され、偏肉量が減少することによるものと考えられる。   As described above, the effect of improving the eccentric thickness when drawing the eccentrically eccentric tube is in the circumferential direction from the thick side to the thin side caused by the outer diameter reduction or the thick side thickness processing. It is considered that the thickness is made uniform by the metal flow and the uneven thickness is reduced.

本発明の冷間引抜き方法において、引抜きの対象鋼種としては、例えば、JIS G 3441に規定される機械構造用合金鋼鋼管、その他機械構造用部品に用いられる低合金鋼管があげられる。   In the cold drawing method of the present invention, examples of the steel type to be drawn include alloy steel pipes for machine structures defined in JIS G 3441 and low alloy steel pipes used for other machine structure parts.

前記図1に示した形状、寸法を有する偏芯偏肉素材(外径:38.1mm、肉厚:4.0mm、偏肉量:0.6mm(偏肉率:15%))を使用し、外径加工度および肉厚加工度を広範囲にわたり変更して偏肉改善量に及ぼす影響を調査した。用いた素管は、1Cr−0.8Mo材で、冷間引抜き(抽伸)を1回行った後、管の外側に機械加工を施して偏芯偏肉素管としたものである。なお、「偏肉改善量」とは、前記のとおり、引抜きの前後における偏肉量の差である。   Using the eccentric eccentric material (outer diameter: 38.1 mm, wall thickness: 4.0 mm, thickness deviation: 0.6 mm (thickness ratio: 15%)) having the shape and dimensions shown in FIG. In addition, the effect on the amount of improvement in uneven thickness was investigated by changing the outer diameter processing degree and the wall thickness processing degree over a wide range. The raw pipe used is a 1Cr-0.8Mo material, and after cold drawing (drawing) once, the outer side of the pipe is machined to form an eccentrically eccentric raw pipe. The “uneven thickness improvement amount” is a difference in the uneven thickness before and after the drawing as described above.

表2に冷間引抜きスケジュールおよび調査結果(偏肉改善量)を示す。引抜きはすべてテーパ(25°)ダイスおよび円筒プラグを用いて行った。   Table 2 shows the cold drawing schedule and the survey results (uneven thickness improvement amount). All drawing was done using taper (25 °) dies and cylindrical plugs.

表2において、試験No.1〜6は、外径加工度RDを一定(21.1%)にして肉厚加工度RTが偏肉改善量に及ぼす影響を調査するための試験であり、試験No.7〜10は、肉厚加工度を一定(10.0%)にして外径加工度が偏肉改善量に及ぼす影響を調査するための試験である。 In Table 2, test no. Nos. 1 to 6 are tests for investigating the influence of the wall thickness working degree RT on the uneven thickness improvement amount with the outer diameter working degree RD being constant (21.1%). 7 to 10 are tests for investigating the influence of the outer diameter processing degree on the uneven thickness improvement amount with a constant thickness processing degree (10.0%).

図4および図5は表2に示した結果を図示したものである。図4は、外径加工度を一定としたときの肉厚加工度と偏肉改善量の関係を示す図であり、図5は、肉厚加工度を一定としたときの外径加工度と偏肉改善量の関係を示す図である。   4 and 5 illustrate the results shown in Table 2. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the relationship between the wall thickness processing degree when the outer diameter processing degree is constant and the uneven thickness improvement amount, and FIG. 5 shows the outer diameter processing degree when the wall thickness processing degree is constant. It is a figure which shows the relationship of the uneven thickness improvement amount.

表2および図4に示したように、外径加工度を一定として肉厚加工度を変化させた場合、肉厚加工度の増大とともに偏肉改善量も増大する。特に、肉厚加工度が10%以上で偏肉改善量が大きく、素管の偏肉量は0.6mmであるから、肉厚加工度が10%で、30%を上回る改善効果が得られている。   As shown in Table 2 and FIG. 4, when the thickness processing degree is changed while the outer diameter processing degree is constant, the uneven thickness improvement amount increases as the thickness processing degree increases. In particular, the thickness improvement degree is large when the thickness processing degree is 10% or more, and the thickness deviation of the raw tube is 0.6 mm, so that the improvement effect exceeding 30% is obtained at the thickness processing degree of 10%. ing.

肉厚加工度が小さく、5%未満になると、外径、肉厚の寸法精度が低下した。一方、肉厚加工度が25%を超えると引抜き時に管が破断する可能性が高くなる。したがって、肉厚加工度は5〜25%の範囲内とすることが必要である。   When the thickness processing degree is small and less than 5%, the dimensional accuracy of the outer diameter and the thickness is lowered. On the other hand, if the wall thickness processing degree exceeds 25%, there is a high possibility that the pipe will break during drawing. Therefore, it is necessary to make the thickness processing degree within a range of 5 to 25%.

また、表2および図5に示したように、肉厚加工度を一定として外径加工度を変化させた場合、外径加工度の増大とともに偏肉改善量は急激に増大した。この場合は、外径加工度がある程度大きく、20%程度以上で偏肉の改善効果が大きくなることが判明した。一方、外径加工度が35%を超えると引抜き時に管が破断する可能性が高くなり、安定した製造ができなくなる。したがって、外径加工度は20〜35%の範囲内とすることが必要である。   Further, as shown in Table 2 and FIG. 5, when the outer diameter processing degree was changed while keeping the thickness processing degree constant, the uneven thickness improvement amount increased rapidly as the outer diameter processing degree increased. In this case, it has been found that the outer diameter processing degree is large to some extent, and the effect of improving the uneven thickness is increased when the outer diameter is about 20% or more. On the other hand, if the outer diameter processing degree exceeds 35%, there is a high possibility that the pipe will be broken at the time of drawing, and stable production cannot be performed. Therefore, the outer diameter processing degree needs to be in the range of 20 to 35%.

図6は、表2に示した、偏肉改善量の増大比率が大きかった試験No.7〜9および試験No.3の結果を図示したもので、肉厚加工度/外径加工度(RT/RD)と偏肉改善量の関係を示す図である。図6から、RT/RDが0.5以下のとき、大きな偏肉改善効果が得られることがわかる。 6 shows the test No. shown in Table 2 in which the increase ratio of the uneven thickness improvement amount was large. 7-9 and test no. 3 is a diagram illustrating the relationship between the thickness workability / outer diameter workability (R T / R D ) and the uneven thickness improvement amount. From FIG. 6, it can be seen that when R T / R D is 0.5 or less, a large thickness improvement effect is obtained.

断面積減少率SPは、50%を超えると、引抜き時に管が破断するおそれがある。 Area reduction ratio S P, there is a possibility more than 50% of the tube during withdrawal broken.
