Definitions
- ABSTRACT A hollow open-ended frusto-conical forging having substantially uniform wall-thickness from end-to-end,
- a hollow work-piece having a frustoconical exterior surface and substantially cylindrical interior surface.
- This work-piece is heated to forging temperature and placed around a horizontally disposed cylindrical mandrel which is supported on the bed of a power press and the platen of the power press is pressed against the major portion of the work-piece which is internally supported by the mandrel to obtain a tapering reduction in the major portion of the workpiece thereat.
- the platen is then raised and the workpiece is partially rotated to position an immediately adjacent segment of the work-piece between the platen and mandrel.
- frusto-conical articles Prior to the present invention such frusto-conical articles (reducers and the like) were mostly produced either by l. pressing a round bar into a conical die so as to upset the metal downwardly into the die, then center punching a cylindrical bore to the small end of the work-piece, and finally machining the interior of thework-piece to produce the desired frustoconical shape and size 2. machining a cylindrical work-piece on both the interior and exterior to produce frusto-conical surfaces thereon which is prohibitively expensive 3.
- Another object is the provision of a process of the type described which may be effectively and inexpensively utilized for a single product as well as for a large run.
- Still another object is the attainment of the foregoing advantages with the use of equipment of existing design.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective of an example of a cylindrical work-piece which is obtained as a preliminary to prac ticing the process of the invention, and showing its dimensions for comparative purposes.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic view illustrating a conventional heavy duty press, with stationary horizontal bed and vertically movable platen shown in the raised position, together with a pair of mandrel supportswhich rest on the bed and between them support a round elongate mandrel, and the work-piece as mounted on the mandrel prior to the commencement of the forging operation.
- FIG. 3 is another schematic view, but illustrating the work-piece both prior to the forging operation (in dotted lines) and as completely forged (solid lines and cross-hatched).
- FIG. 4 is a sectional elevation of the work-piece after it has been subjected to the process of the invention, and illustrating the respective dimensions.
- the numeral 2 designates the bed or bottom of a heavy duty press, while the platen thereof is shown at 3, being in the raised position.
- the distance the platen 3 may be moved downwardly toward the bed or bottom of the press is determined by a plurality of superposed blocks which act as shims, the same being schematically illustrated in FIG. 2, it being understood, however, that they may be disposed anywhere between the platen and the bed which will achieve the desired result.
- a cylindrical work-piece A of roughly predetermined height and inside and outside diameter, which is machined on the outside so as to provide a frusto-conical exterior, and which is heated to forging temperature; or is forged to this exterior contour in a die and is then center-hole punched. In either event the inner wall of the work-piece A is cylindrical.
- FIG. 1 an example of the immediate foregoing is given as:
- the cylindrical work-pieceA machined or forged to an outside taper in diameter as described hereinbefore, and as heated to forging temperature, is moved into position between the spaced parallel mandrel supports 4 with the round mandrel 5 inserted through it, whereby it is supported by the mandrel above the bed or bottom 2 of the press.
- the diameter of the round mandrel 5 is slightly less than the inside diameter of the cylindrical work-piece A, and for the example given herein was 15 inches.
- tlne platen 3 of the heavy duty press is lowered to a suitable extent by utilizing the controls for such positioning which are conventional equipment on apparatus of this type.
- spacer blocks or large shims may be disposed on the upper extremities of the U-shaped vertically extending mandrel supports 4 operating against the internal support of the round mandrel 5, to make an appreciable reduction in the wall thickness of the work-piece at that point.
- the platen 3 is then raised, and the work-piece A is partially rotated, either by hand (as with pikes which are standard foundry equipment) or by one of several types of machines which are adapted to such purposes.
- the platen 3 is again lowered into contact therewith, making an adjoining reduction in the wall-thickness which is similar to the one previously made.
- This forging operation with the raising of the platen and intermittent partial rotation of the work-piece is repeated until the work-piece has been rotated throughout a 360 arc.
- the power press is so adjusted as to increase the lower limit to which the platen will be moved.
- Such power press controls are entirely conventional, but power presses without the same may be utilized by simply adopting the expedient of providing spacer blocks for disposition atop the upper extremities of the U- shaped upper ends of the mandrel supports 4.
- the wall-thickness of the small end of the work-piece need undergo no change, and the entire operation concluded when the wallthickness at both the small end and the big end are the same.
- each individual reduction in the thickness of the wall of the work-piece A may be approximately l inch and extend over an area in width of approximately 6 inches until all 26 inches have been covered throughout a 360 arc.
- the work-piece A after being completely forged in accordance with the teachings of the present invention, is represented at B in FIG. 4.
- the dimensions of the frusto-conical forging B are as follows:
- mandrel supports 4 and round mandrel 5 may be effectively utilized to obtain frusto-conical forgings or varying sizes and tapers.
