That is, bulging 1] is a processing method in which internal pressure and axial pressure are applied to a tube material to stretch and mold a part of the raw tube, and is performed using rubber or oil. FIG. 9 shows what is generally called the free bulge processing method, in which internal pressure, Pi, and axial pressure Pz are applied to the raw pipe (4) to expand the pipe. The free bulge processing method is characterized in that the wall thickness of the bulging portion can be changed by changing the axial compression length.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As mentioned above, the basic processing principle of the liquid thickness bulging method is to apply internal pressure to the raw pipe to bulge it and fill it in the mold. is stretched by this bulge, but when using a medium such as liquid or rubber that cannot suppress abnormal deformation of the material, it is not possible to prevent the occurrence of local constrictions. Once a constriction occurs, subsequent deformation is concentrated at the constriction, causing early failure from the constriction.

The occurrence of constriction occurs based on the tube expansion rate expressed by equation [11].

As the compressive stress in the axial direction increases, the limit for occurrence of constriction increases. However, the elongation of pure AI' material in the tensile test is more than 50%, so even if bulge processing is performed under a large axial load, the time at which constriction occurs is much smaller than the elongation value in the tensile test. . Once a constriction occurs, the strain in the circumferential direction due to pipe expansion is concentrated at the constriction in materials that are work hardened and hardened like pure AI materials, so the elongation value is much greater than the elongation value obtained by the tensile test. Destruction occurs with a small tube expansion rate.

Also, as is clear from equation [1], the constriction limit is determined by the stress ratio α and the coefficient m of the first power law in the tensile test. Materials that are easy to work harden and have a large value of m, such as stainless steel, have a large constriction limit, but materials that are difficult to work harden and have a small value of m, such as pure AI materials, are prone to constriction, making tube expansion difficult. It's a big reason why.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention involves setting a pre-drawn blank tube in a pair of dies each having a die-cutting surface on opposing surfaces, and inserting an appropriate spherical diameter into the blank tube. With a large number of well-distributed steel balls accommodated, the pair of dies are rotated while moving relatively close to each other to compress the raw pipe, and at the same time, the steel balls in the raw pipe are compressed by the rotation. It is characterized by a tube expansion ball addition method that impacts the surface and causes the raw tube to bulge out following the die-engraved surface.Furthermore, the die-engraved surface is automatically engraved on each of the opposing surfaces. a pair of dies held facing each other, a neck-drawn blank tube set across both dies, a large number of steel balls housed in the blank tube, and a cylinder that moves both dies relatively close to each other; The present invention is characterized by a tube expansion ball processing device equipped with a rotation drive mechanism for both dies.

When compressing a pipe by applying an axial load, if the length of the pipe is shorter than its diameter, the center of the pipe length will bulge outward,
When the tube material is long, both ends protrude, and in either case, it does not recess inward. The axial load for elongation is large in a parallel tube without a constricted part, but as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, when a constricted part is provided, elongation can be achieved with a small axial load. In Figures 6 and 7, (A) shows the state before upsetting, and (B) shows the state after upsetting, respectively. When the body length L of the raw pipe is longer than the diameter of the raw pipe (L/D: large), as shown in Figure 6, both ends [L adjacent to the constricted part] bulge occurs, L/1)
When the body length is small and the body length is short, a bulge will appear in the center as shown in FIG.

If the axial load is increased further, the raw pipe will collapse due to buckling, but the axial load just before crushing is applied to the raw pipe with a narrowed opening, and the pipe with a long body length is In the recessed part (5a) in the center of the body, insert a blank pipe with a short body length (8
), when the convex portion (lEa) at the center of the body is plastically deformed, the tube material swells and is formed into a shape along the die-scabbing surface of the die. The raw pipe (5) with a long body is as shown in Figure 6.
Due to the initial axial load, the parts adjacent to the constricted portions at both ends bulge out, forming a concave shape, but after the central concave (5a) is deformed into a convex shape by plastic working, it becomes a blank pipe with a short body length (
6), so both can be expanded under the same conditions.

Conventional pipe expansion using hydraulic pressure or rubber pressure applies hydrostatic pressure introduced into the pipe to create a uniform tensile strain on the pipe to expand the pipe. When a metal material is subjected to a uniform tensile strain, it becomes constricted at a certain strain, resulting in local thinning. -112 When local thinning occurs, the subsequent strain concentrates on this thinning area, so the tube breaks at a processing rate (pipe expansion rate) that is much smaller than the elongation value obtained in the tensile test. Destruction 1) Processing to II II Second, even if the expansion process by annealing -1' and branching are removed, local thinning has already occurred, so even if the tube is expanded again. It breaks early and it is difficult to increase the tube expansion rate through annealing.

However, in the tube expansion process of the present invention, a steel ball is placed in a mouth-drawn blank tube and rotated, and the part where the steel ball falls and hits the wall of the blank tube is stretched by impact force, and the partial portion is stretched. Since the tube is expanded by the accumulation of I-j, a large tube expansion rate equivalent to the elongation obtained in a tensile test can be obtained in one tube expansion without causing local constriction. Furthermore, since no local constriction occurs on the tube expansion side 1-, the work hardening effect caused by tube expansion is removed by annealing, and the tube can be expanded subsequently. It is possible to perform processing with a large tube expansion rate.

No advanced technology is required for tube expansion.

Conventional pipe materials for expanding pipes using hydraulic pressure or rubber pressure 1- cannot avoid unevenness on the inner and outer surfaces due to localized slight constrictions. However, since the inner surface of the tube expandable material formed by the method of the present invention is struck by the steel balls, fine irregularities on the inner surface are crushed and flattened by the blow, resulting in a smooth inner surface of the tube expandable material. Furthermore, after the tube expansion process, if a fine-grained grid is placed inside the tube expander instead of the steel ball and rotated, it is possible to obtain a tube expander with an even smoother inner surface.
