Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for measuring very precisely the bending amount of the end part of a mandrel for a long time and a method for extruding more tubes having excellent quality with the same mandrel. SOLUTION: The bending amount of the end part 11 of the mandrel is measured with a non-contact type displacement gage 20. Thereafter, the direction of the bent of the end part 11 of the mandrel is directed in the prescribed direction wherein thickness deviation is hardly produced and then the mandrel is fixed and extruded. Since the non-contact type displacement gage 20 is hardly effected by the heat of the mandrel 10, the bending amount is very precisely measured for a long time. More tubes having excellent quality are extruded using the same mandrel 10, whereby productivity is improved.

2. Description of the Related Art A mandrel is a tool that is inserted into a pipe to hold the inside diameter of the pipe when the pipe is extruded. As shown in FIG. 3, the tube extruding method using this mandrel is as follows. The material (solid billet) 30 is put in a container 40, mounted on an extrusion press 50, perforated by the mandrel 10, and then the stem 60 is pushed in. Then, the pipe 80 is extruded from between the die 70 and the mandrel 10. In the extrusion method described above, the mandrel 10
Excessive force is applied, especially when the extrusion is performed hot,
As shown in FIG. 4, the mandrel tip 11 begins to bend in a bow over time. If this amount of bending becomes large, uneven thickness and poor surface quality will occur in the extruded pipe 80. The degree of bending of the mandrel tip 11 was visually determined before the material was set in the container, and the mandrel 10 was replaced when the bending became severe. However, since the mandrel 10 is heated to a high temperature, it is unavoidable that the mandrel 10 is visually observed from a distance. Therefore, there are many erroneous judgments regarding bending, which causes a decrease in manufacturing yield. Therefore, the displacement amount detection head is brought into contact with the side face of the mandrel tip, the mandrel is rotated axially, the distance between the displacement meter and the side face of the mandrel tip is measured along all sides of the mandrel, and the bending amount is further increased. A device has been proposed that controls the maximum direction to a fixed direction to reduce the adverse effects caused by bending (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 4-
No. 127914).

In the present invention, the predetermined direction in which the bending of the mandrel is directed is a direction in which the occurrence of uneven thickness or the like is reduced. This predetermined direction varies depending on the extruder used, the extrusion material, the extrusion conditions, etc., and it is necessary to individually investigate it by preliminary experiments.

When the measured bending amount is within a preset allowable value, the mandrel is fixed and extruded with the bending direction oriented so that uneven thickness is unlikely to occur. If the amount of bend exceeds the allowable value, replace the mandrel. It is preferable to set an alarm to sound when the allowable value is exceeded so that replacement mistakes can be avoided. For example, when the degree of uneven thickness decreases when the mandrel bends upward, the displacement meter is placed above the mandrel, and the mandrel is rotated around the axis to displace the mandrel tip side surface and the displacement meter. Fix the mandrel and restart extrusion at the minimum distance.

The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to examples. (Example 1) A copper pipe was hot extruded in a batch manner by the extrusion method shown in Fig. 3 to determine the relationship between the bending direction of the tip of the mandrel and the uneven thickness (preliminary experiment). A laser displacement meter was placed at a predetermined position on the outer circumference of the mandrel tip. In the extrusion cycle, the amount of bending of the mandrel tip was measured before the billet was installed in the container. When a bend was detected at the tip of the mandrel, extrusion was started with the direction of maximum bend being oriented in the direction of the displacement gauge. When the bending amount of the mandrel (a shown in FIG. 4) exceeded a certain value k, the mandrel was replaced with a new one. The positions of the displacement gauges were changed to four positions on the outer circumference of the tip of the mandrel.

Had a low uneven thickness defect rate and a small number of mandrels used. On the other hand, in Comparative Example No. 6, the uneven thickness defect rate was large and the number of mandrels used was also large. This is because the displacement head is a contact type and the detection head deteriorates due to the influence of the heat of the mandrel, and the amount of bending cannot be measured properly.

In the above-described embodiment, the bending direction of the tip of the mandrel is changed to four directions, up, down, left and right. However, by finely changing the bending direction including the diagonal direction, it is possible to further improve the non-defective rate. There is a nature. In the above-mentioned embodiment, a laser displacement meter is used as the displacement meter, and the case where the copper pipe is extruded hot is explained. However, the present invention uses other non-contact type displacement meters and various materials are used. The same effect can be obtained by applying the method when extruding at a temperature.
