Description

20 25 30 519 170 2 ämne som placeras i fonnverktyget och trycksätter det så att det formas på en kort tid till önskad form. Formningstiden är vanligen kortare än 3 sek och företrädesvis kortare än 1 sekund för att ämnet inte ska hinna ta härdning under forrnningen genom kontakten med tryckrnediet och det kylda fonnverktyget. Den formade produkten tillåts dock vara i kontakt med fonnverktyget och tryckmediet tillräckligt länge för att hinna ta härdning innan produkten sedan tas ur fonnverktyget. Substance which is placed in the mold tool and pressurizes it so that it is formed in a short time into the desired shape. The forming time is usually shorter than 3 seconds and preferably shorter than 1 second so that the blank does not have time to cure during the molding through the contact with the pressure medium and the cooled mold. However, the shaped product is allowed to be in contact with the mold tool and the printing medium long enough to have time to cure before the product is then removed from the mold tool.

Beskrivning Föreliggande uppfinning avser en process innefattande kombinerad hydrofonnning och efterhärdning.Description The present invention relates to a process comprising combined hydroforming and post-curing.

I en hydroformningsprocess pressar en hydraulisk vätska ut ett ämne mot ett väsentligen omslutande forrnverktyg samtidigt som ett mekaniskt tryck påförs ämnet för att förflytta ämnets material till de områden där det saknas material. På föreskrivet sätt erhålls en fonnförändring av ärrmet efter verktygets fonn.In a hydroforming process, a hydraulic fluid presses a blank against a substantially enclosing mold tool while a mechanical pressure is applied to the blank to move the material of the blank to the areas where there is no material. In the prescribed manner, a shape change of the scar is obtained after the shape of the tool.

I hydroformningsprocessen används ett ämne, i härdbart stål, som forrnmässigt kan anpassas till efterföljande processteg genom att exempelvis bocka ärrmet eller med arman förformning anpassa ämnet. Ämnet placeras i ett formverktyg med önskad form, som väsentligen omsluter ärrmet. Ãrnnet, exempelvis i form av ett rör tätas därefter i båda ändar och en hydraulisk vätska, företrädesvis vatten pumpas in och trycksätter röret samtidigt som ett mekaniskt tryck anbringas i båda ändar av änmet.In the hydroforming process, a blank is used, in hardenable steel, which can be formally adapted to subsequent process steps by, for example, bending the sleeve or adapting the blank with the arm preform. The blank is placed in a forming tool of the desired shape, which substantially encloses the sleeve. The tube, for example in the form of a tube, is then sealed at both ends and a hydraulic fluid, preferably water is pumped in and pressurizes the tube at the same time as a mechanical pressure is applied at both ends of the tube.

I hydroformningsprocessen erhålls önskad form genom formförändring av ämnet, varefter vattnet avlägsnas från fonnverktyget och även ämnet som i nästa processteg värms upp i en ugn till härdtemperatur. Ämnet placeras vidare i ett fixerverktyg för att ämnet ska bibehålla sin form under den kommande avkylningsfasen, där det uppvärmda ämnet kyls ned med lämpligt media, såsom vatten eller olja. En härdad fonnad produkt har nu erhållits genom de ovan närrmda processtegen.In the hydroforming process, the desired shape is obtained by changing the shape of the blank, after which the water is removed from the mold and also the blank which in the next process step is heated in an oven to a curing temperature. The substance is further placed in a fi xer tool so that the substance retains its shape during the coming cooling phase, where the heated substance is cooled down with suitable media, such as water or oil. A cured formed product has now been obtained through the process steps discussed above.

Den formade härdade produkten behöver nu endast slutbearbetas genom ändbearbetning och upptagning av hål, vilket utförs av klippverktyg eller med laserskäming. 10 15 20 25 30 ø o n - ua 519 110 ß Föredragen utföringsform I det följande skall uppfinningen närmare beskrivas i anknytning till de exempel på utförande som visas i bifogad figur.The shaped hardened product now only needs to be finished by end machining and picking up holes, which is performed by cutting tools or with laser cutting. 10 15 20 25 30 ø o n - ua 519 110 ß Preferred embodiment In the following, the invention will be described in more detail in connection with the examples of embodiments shown in the attached fi gur.

Figur 1 visar ett flödesschema över en hydroforrnningsprocess med härdning.Figure 1 shows a flow chart of a hydroforming process with curing.

Nedan beskrivs en process beträffande hydroforrrming där ett ärrme ska formas till en färdig slutprodukt.Below is a process regarding hydroforming where a sleeve is to be formed into a finished end product.

I processen används företrädesvis ett ärrme i form av ett rör, av härdbart stål såsom exempelvis borstål, som forrnmässigt kan anpassas till efterföljande processteg.In the process, a sleeve in the form of a tube, of hardenable steel such as, for example, boron steel, is preferably used, which can be formally adapted to subsequent process steps.

Röränmet placeras i ett omslutande fonnverktyg med önskad fonn. Rörämnet tillsluts därefter i båda ändarna och anslutningar för hydraulisk vätska till ämnets inre anordnas varefter en hydraulisk vätska, företrädesvis vatten pumpas in med ett högt tryck av ca 2000 bar som trycksätter rörärrmet, samtidigt som ett mekaniskt tryck på ca 150 ton anbringas i båda ändama av rörärrmet. Dessa tryck påverkar rörärnnet under minst 30 sekunder, företrädesvis under cirka 60 sekunder som formar rörämnet efter verktyget med en temperatur på rörärrmet och verktyget lägre än 100 °C, företrädesvis rumstemperatur. Presskraften som åtgår för att sluta verktyget under processen är ca. 5000 ton.The tube end is placed in an enclosing mold tool with the desired shape. The pipe blank is then closed at both ends and connections for hydraulic fluid to the interior of the blank are arranged, after which a hydraulic fluid, preferably water is pumped in with a high pressure of about 2000 bar which pressurizes the pipe arm, while a mechanical pressure of about 150 tons is applied at both ends of the tube sleeve. These pressures affect the pipe pipe for at least 30 seconds, preferably for about 60 seconds which forms the pipe blank after the tool with a temperature on the pipe pipe and the tool lower than 100 ° C, preferably room temperature. The pressing force required to close the tool during the process is approx. 5000 tons.

I hydroforrnningsprocessen erhålls den önskade formen på rörärrmet. Vattnet avlägsnas från fonnverktyget och även ämnet som i nästa processteg värms upp i en ugn till en härdtemperatur på ca 900 °C. Uppvärmningsprocessen pågår under ca 50 sekunder.In the hydroforming process, the desired shape of the tube sleeve is obtained. The water is removed from the mold tool and also the substance which in the next process step is heated in an oven to a curing temperature of about 900 ° C. The heating process lasts for about 50 seconds.

För att rörämnet ska bibehålla sin form under den kommande avkylningsfasen placeras rörämnet i ett fixerverktyg. Rörämnet fixeras på ett lämpligt antal områden och/eller punkter, med ett mekaniskt fixertryck på ca 50 ton, varvid det uppvärmda ämnet kyls ned med ett lämpligt media, såsom vatten eller olja. Kylmedlet sprutas på röränmet från ett antal olika riktningar, under ca 30 sekunder med ett tryck på ca 10 bar, varvid det uppvärmda rörämnet kyls ner till ca 40 °C.In order for the tube blank to maintain its shape during the coming cooling phase, the tube blank is placed in a fi x tool. The tube blank is xered on a suitable number of areas and / or points, with a mechanical xer pressure of about 50 tons, whereby the heated substance is cooled down with a suitable medium, such as water or oil. The coolant is sprayed on the pipe blank from a number of different directions, for about 30 seconds with a pressure of about 10 bar, whereby the heated pipe blank is cooled down to about 40 ° C.

Härdningsprocessen i regel tar kortare tid än hydroformningsprocessen. Det vill säga att processen med att hårda änmet efter hydroformningen ryms under den tid hydroformningsprocessen tar, vilket leder till en kostnadseffektiv samlad process. ..- 519 170 | u o n - | o n o» u - » ~ y. 4 Föreliggande uppfinning är inte begränsat till ett enkelt rörämne med två öppningar i vardera änden, utan processen kan även användas till änmen med en betydligt komplexare form och som även tillåter färre eller fler antal öppningar i ämnet än två.The curing process usually takes less time than the hydroforming process. That is, the process of hardening the duct after hydroforming takes place during the time the hydroforming process takes, which leads to a cost-effective overall process. ..- 519 170 | u o n - | 4 The present invention is not limited to a simple tube blank with two openings at each end, but the process can also be used for the blank with a much more complex shape and which also allows fewer or fewer openings in the blank than two. .
