2. Description of the Related Art Welded steel pipes are formed by forming a steel plate or a steel strip into a tube and welding the seams thereof, and are made by various manufacturing methods from a small diameter to a large diameter.
Examples include electric resistance welding (electric resistance welding), forge welding, and electric arc welding. For small to medium diameter steel pipes, an electric resistance welding method (electric resistance welded steel pipe, electric resistance welded pipe) utilizing high frequency induction heating is mainly used. In this method, a steel strip is continuously supplied, formed into a tubular shape with a forming roll to form an open pipe, and then the end faces of both edges of the open pipe are heated by high-frequency induction heating to a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point of the steel. (See, for example, the third edition of the Iron and Steel Handbook, Vol. III (2), 1056-10).

In the above-described method of manufacturing an electric resistance welded tube utilizing high frequency induction heating, since the end surfaces of both edges of the open tube are heated to the melting point of the steel or higher, the molten steel flows under the influence of electromagnetic force, and the generated oxidation occurs. An object is caught in the abutment weld and welding defects such as penetrators or molten steel scatter (flash)
There is a problem that is easy to occur. For this issue,
For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-299782 proposes a method for manufacturing an electric resistance welded steel pipe having two heating devices. That is,
The temperature of both edges of the open pipe is heated to the Curie point or higher by the first heating device, the temperature is further raised to the melting point by the second heating device, and the both edges are impact-welded with a squeeze roll to produce a steel pipe. I do. In addition, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-29983 discloses the first
A current having a frequency of 45 to 250 kHz is passed by the heating device, and both edges are preheated. The second heating device is further heated to a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point, and both edges are impact-welded with a squeeze roll to produce a steel pipe. A sewing tube manufacturing device has been proposed.

[0004] However, although these electric resistance welded pipe manufacturing techniques suggest that the edges are uniformly heated, since both edges are heated to the melting point of the steel or higher, the molten steel is hardened at the time of impact welding. Is discharged to the inner and outer surfaces of the tube to form a bead. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the weld bead on the inner and outer surfaces of the pipe after the impact welding, and most of the bead is removed by cutting with a bead cutting tool.

[0005] For this reason, in this method, loss of material and time occurs due to adjustment of the cutting amount of the bead cutting tool. Since the bead cutting tool is a consumable, it needs to be changed every 3000-4000m bead cutting length, depending on the pipe forming speed. Therefore, it is necessary to change the bite for 3-5 minutes every hour. Forced to stop the line.

In particular, in high-speed pipe forming in which the pipe forming speed exceeds 100 m / min, the life of the bead cutting tool is short and the frequency of replacement is high. There was a problem that bead cutting became a bottleneck and high-speed pipe making was not possible, resulting in low productivity. On the other hand, there is a method for producing a forged steel pipe having extremely high productivity for a relatively small diameter steel pipe. In this method, a continuously supplied steel strip is heated to about 1300 ° C in a heating furnace, and then formed into a tubular shape with a forming roll to form an open pipe. After performing the scale-off, oxygen is blown to the end face by the welding horn, and the end face is heated to about 1400 ° C. by the heat of oxidation, and then the end faces of both edges are abutted by a forging roll to perform solid-state joining. This is a method for producing a steel pipe (for example, Third Edition Iron and Steel Handbook, Vol. III (2), pp. 1056-1092).

However, in this method for producing a forged steel pipe, the scale-off of the end face is not perfect, so that the scale is caught in the forged joint portion, and the strength of the seam portion is considerably inferior to that of the base material portion. For this reason, in the flattening test, the flattened height ratio h / D = 2t / D (t: plate thickness) can be achieved with an ERW steel pipe, while the flattened height ratio h / D is inferior to about 0.5 with a forged steel pipe. It will be.

[0008] Since the steel strip is heated to a high temperature, scale is formed on the pipe surface, and the surface skin is poor. The pipe making speed is 300m /
Although the productivity is high as short as min or more, the seam quality and the surface skin are poor, and there is a problem that products requiring strength reliability and surface quality such as JIS STK cannot be manufactured. In order to advantageously solve the above problem, it is preferable to use a solid-state pressure welding tube method invented by the present inventors. This is because the end of the open tube is in the proper solid-state pressure welding temperature range below the melting point (1300 ° C to 15 ° C).
It is an unconventional tube-forming method in which induction heating is performed at a temperature of (00 ° C.) and pressure welding is performed. Unlike conventional welded pipes, steel pipes manufactured by this solid-state pressure welding method do not require bead cutting, so high-speed pipe forming is possible and productivity is high. No deterioration of seam quality and surface skin.

However, the induction heating apparatus and the resistance heating apparatus used in the conventional production of welded pipes have the following drawbacks, and have problems in applying them to the solid-state pressure welding pipe method.

Hereinafter, a heating method using a high-frequency current will be described as a typical example of the conventional induction heating apparatus shown in FIG. This device has a simple structure in which a multi-turn coil called a work coil 6 is arranged near the upstream side of the junction 4 so that the open tube 1 passes through the coil. However, the induced current tends to concentrate on the corners of the edge portion 3 due to the high frequency skin effect, etc.
When the induction heating is performed by the work coil 6 from the room temperature, the temperature difference between the corner and the face of the end face becomes excessive, especially when a thick-walled pipe is formed at a high speed, and the corner and the face are simultaneously solid-phase welded at the joint point 4. It cannot reach the appropriate temperature range.

The non-uniform temperature of the edge portion 3 has been regarded as a problem from a different viewpoint even in a conventional welded pipe. As a countermeasure, a preheating coil is provided upstream of the work coil 6 to heat the edge portion 3 in advance. In addition, it is known that the temperature difference between the corner portion and the face portion of the end face of the edge portion 3 due to the rapid heating in the work coil 6 is reduced (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H2-299782,
See Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-29983).

The arrow in A indicates the direction of the current at a certain point in time.

However, the horizontal turn type shown in FIG.
Since the induced current is densely distributed and heated not only in the edge portion 3 but also in a region slightly away from the edge portion, the heating efficiency is very poor, and the vertical turn type shown in FIG. Since the induced current is more densely distributed on the outer surface closer to the coil 9, the temperature difference in the end face of the edge portion 3 becomes larger,
The saddle type (c) has a disadvantage that the heating efficiency is very poor because the preheating current path 7A induced as shown in the figure is long.

Due to these disadvantages, even if the edge portion 3 of the open tube 1 is heated using a conventional preheating coil,
When the heating by the work coil 6 is started, the averaging of the temperature difference between the corners of the end surface of the edge 3 and the surface becomes insufficient, and
In this case, it is difficult to bring the entire area of the end face of the edge portion 3 into the appropriate solid-state pressure welding temperature range. The same problem caused by non-uniform heating is important not only in the production of solid-phase welded steel pipes, but also in the production of ERW pipes. In thick-walled pipes such as line pipes, the current tends to concentrate at the corners of the end face of the edge 3 due to the skin effect of high-frequency current, etc., so the corners are preferentially melted,
A phenomenon such as a so-called cold welding in which the central portion of the surface portion is not sufficiently melted occurs. This tendency increases as the wall thickness increases, and it is difficult to sufficiently cope with the conventional composite heating method using a preheating coil.

If electromagnetic induction is caused by lines of magnetic force entering and exiting the magnetic pole, it may cause disturbance to the preheating current in addition to its own heat deterioration, so it is preferable that the portion in contact with the open tube be made of a non-magnetic material such as stainless steel or ceramics. . Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to appropriately adjust the end face temperature distribution at the time of starting the temperature rise for induction heating the edge portion of the open pipe with the work coil to raise the temperature of the entire end face to the appropriate solid-state pressure welding temperature range. For the first time, it is possible to realize a solid-state pressure welding pipe forming method that can secure a high productivity without the need for bead cutting and can manufacture a steel pipe having excellent seam quality and surface texture. In addition, even during the conventional production of an electric resistance welded steel pipe, an excellent steel pipe can be produced without causing welding defects such as cold welding and generation of a penetrator.
