2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, as a high pressure fuel injection pipe for a diesel internal combustion engine of this type, Japanese Patent Publication No.
No. 46712 is known. The high-pressure fuel injection tubing described in this publication has a thin-walled inner tube made of a stainless steel tube having a flow passage formed inside, inserted into an outer tube made of a thick-walled steel tube, so that the two tubes can be simultaneously and integrally vacated. The inner and outer pipes are press-fitted by drawing to form a double metal pipe. At this time, the thickness of the inner pipe is 1.2 to 8.5 with respect to the outer diameter of the entire double metal pipe. %.

[0003] The high-pressure fuel injection pipe described in this publication has an injection time of 1 to 1 as a measure against NOx reduction and black smoke.
2 msec, flow rate up to 50 m / sec, internal pressure 600 ~
Even when operating under the conditions corresponding to the current high injection pressure of fuel of 1000 bar (peak pressure), not only cavitation erosion (hereinafter simply referred to as erosion) on the inner peripheral surface can be prevented, but also repeated high pressure fatigue. The durability of the film was almost satisfactory. However, in recent years, the conditions for NOx reduction and black smoke countermeasures have become more severe, and there has been a tendency to require a high-pressure fuel injection pipe that does not repeatedly break down due to high-pressure fatigue even under severe injection conditions in which the internal pressure exceeds 1200 bar.
In the high-pressure fuel injection pipe disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 46712, it is necessary to consider a situation where the strength is insufficient.

The applicant of the present invention has proposed a high-pressure fuel injection pipe having an internal pressure repetitive fatigue strength even under such severe injection conditions, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-247085. The high-pressure fuel injection pipe according to this publication has a diffusion layer of at least one selected from Ni, Cr, Mo, Co, Al, and Cu or a base alloy thereof on the inner peripheral wall of the inner pipe. It was highly preferable from the viewpoint of prevention of erosion. However, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-24
The technique disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 7085 has the following problems in the manufacturing process. That is, although the inner tube side has a diffusion layer of sufficient hardness to prevent the occurrence of erosion, the inner tube is inserted into the outer tube to form a double metal tube, polymerized, and drawn. Since the outer tube is heated and diffused later, the outer tube is in an annealed state by the heating, and therefore has a lower hardness than the outer tube of the prior art double metal tube which is not heat-treated after the drawing process or only heat-treated to the extent of annealing. Further, further improvement in bending vibration fatigue strength has been required.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for manufacturing a high-pressure fuel injection pipe and a high-pressure fuel injection pipe capable of improving bending vibration fatigue strength and exhibiting sufficient erosion resistance on the inner peripheral surface thereof.

4, mainly made of an austenitic stainless steel pipe. A nitriding treatment such as a gas nitriding method, a salt bath nitriding method, or an ion nitriding method is performed on the inner peripheral surface side of the inner pipe 2 to have a layer thickness of 20 to 100 μm.
A nitride layer 3 of about m is formed. When the gas nitriding method is used for forming the nitrided layer 3, conduits are connected to both ends of the inner tube, ammonia gas from a gas source flows through the inner tube, and then the inner tube is heated to about 500 ° C. Is heated to decompose the flowing ammonia gas, diffuse the nascent nitrogen generated on the inner peripheral surface of the inner tube by the reaction, and form a nitride of an alloy element.

When the salt bath nitriding method is used, similarly to the gas nitriding method, a molten salt of potassium cyanide (KCN) or sodium cyanide (NaCN) is circulated in the inner tube to permeate nitrogen. However, potassium cyanide (KC
N) and sodium cyanide (NaCN) are so toxic that their management is difficult and their nitriding power is inferior. Can also be used. The nitrocarburizing method is a preferable method for implementing the present invention because it has the advantages that the adhesion of the nitrided layer is better and the fatigue strength is improved as compared with the ordinary salt bath nitriding method.

The hardness (Hv) of the nitrided layer 3 on the inner peripheral surface side of the inner tube 2 thus obtained varies depending on the processing time, the material of the inner tube, and the like. Needs to be (Hv) 400-650,
If the hardness (Hv) exceeds 800, the hardness is too high and there is a high possibility that cracks or peeling will occur in this nitrided layer during connection head forming or bending. Hardness (Hv) 40
If the pressure is less than 0, the peak pressure in the pipe exceeds 1200 bar and the erosion resistance to an ultra-high pressure fuel under special injection conditions including negative pressure and cavitation may not be sufficient. Therefore, the lower limit of the hardness (Hv) is 400 or more. Is preferred.

At this time, the ratio of the wall thickness of the inner tube 2 to the outer diameter of the formed double metal tube is 1.2 to 8 in the same manner as described in JP-B 1-46712.

Next, as described above, the inner tube 2 is drawn by core drawing and has a nitrided layer 3 formed on the inner peripheral surface side.
Is inserted into the outer tube 1 with a gap therebetween, and the outer tube 1 is reduced in diameter by drawing at least once by using a die 8 as shown in FIG. Tauchi pipe 2
The inner peripheral surface is closely contacted or slightly pressed against the outer peripheral surface. At this time, the inner pipe 2 needs to be stretched so as to have a wall thickness of the above-mentioned product size as shown in FIG. The reason for this is to prevent the nitride layer 3 formed on the inner peripheral surface side of the inner tube 2 in the previous step from generating cracks or peeling due to the diameter reduction by the drawing process of the inner tube 2, If the thickness of the product remains the same, the occurrence of cracks or peeling of the nitrided layer can be naturally prevented. However, the present inventor has found that if the diameter is slightly reduced to 10% or less, preferably 5% or less, the cracks or It has been found that peeling and the like can be prevented.

That is, when the inner pipe 2 is drawn together with the outer pipe 1 by drawing using a die, if the cross-sectional reduction rate (reduction) of the inner pipe 2 exceeds 10%, the inner peripheral surface of the inner pipe 2 is reduced. Phenomena such as cracks and peeling occur remarkably in the nitride layer 3 formed on the side, and as a result, the above-mentioned 1000 bar
Under severe injection conditions, the rate of breakage due to repeated high-pressure fatigue rises sharply, and splinters of the nitrided layer 3 cause the splinters of the nitrided layer 3 to clog the injection nozzles and the like, causing a sudden increase in engine malfunction. I found out.
Therefore, the inner pipe 2 is preferably not reduced in diameter during the drawing process, but the cross-sectional reduction rate is 10% or less, preferably 5%.
% Or less, the above-mentioned problems such as cracking and peeling of the nitrided layer do not occur, thereby greatly reducing the rate of occurrence of breakage due to repeated high-pressure fatigue, and greatly eliminating the cause of engine malfunction. it can. In the case of drawing by the drawing, the outer peripheral surface of the inner tube 2 is compressed by the inner peripheral surface of the outer tube 1 so that the inner peripheral surface of the inner tube 2 is not plastically deformed.
