Description

Title: Multilayer pipe and process for its production

The present invention relates to a multilayer pipe and a method for its production. Multilayer pipes are preferably used in case of high requirements against corrosion or abrasion.

Corrosion-resistant pressure vessels or pressure lines can be produced more cost-effectively by using multilayer pipes than solid versions made of appropriate materials. This is achieved by the load sharing on a thin, corrosion resistant inner layer (e.g., stainless and acid resistant steel) and a high strength, pressure resistant outer layer (e.g., fine grain structural steel). As a result, overall steel consumption can be significantly reduced and much of the remaining steel consumption can be shifted to low-cost materials.

Abrasion-resistant pipes are made possible by the design as a multilayer pipe (such as mechanical bond, see below) in certain grades in the first place, because materials (eg high-strength steels with high hardness) can be used as an inner layer, which alone or only very difficult can be processed into tubes.

Other material combinations are possible in a great variety, in principle, the combinability of materials is limited only by the applicable processing techniques.

When constructing the pipe jacket, a distinction is made between

full-surface metallurgical bond (this requires plated sheet metal as a starting semi-finished product), and purely mechanical bond (such as a friction bond) between inner and outer tube - preferably inner and outer sheet and their welding at the sheet edges -.

The production of such multilayer pipes is carried out according to the prior art as follows:

For multi-layer pipes with metallurgical bond between the layers - such as multi-layer pipes made of metal sheets, preferably steel sheets - is used as a starting semi-finished a clad composite sheet of two different (steel) materials use. The multilayer pipe is then produced as follows:

First, the production of a composite sheet by roll or explosive plating,

then tube forming by conventional methods, such as by means of a bending roll or bending press and

thereafter, the welding, wherein the outer wall of the multilayer pipe according to the usual method of pipe welding according to the material used and the welding of the inner wall as a build-up welding, also fits the material.

The disadvantage of this method according to the prior art is firstly the high cost of the starting semifinished product and thus also of the end product, but on the other hand also a lack of sufficient availability of the starting semifinished product due to extremely limited production capacities for it in the world. Thus, to the knowledge of the applicant and the inventor, there are only a few plants for the production of roll-laminated multilayer sheets, such as in Austria and Japan, but for example, not a single plant in the Federal Republic of Germany for this purpose. Even systems for explosive cladding are hardly available to the knowledge of the inventor and the applicant. For example, at Dynamit Nobel in Burbach, Germany, one of the few such facilities exists. Also, the manufacturing technique used in this case is very problematic and correspondingly expensive and expensive, it being additionally noted that it is available even for very small production lots at all. Furthermore, the number of materials that can be processed in this way, limited. For example, certain abrasion-resistant steels can not be used as the inner layer if they are difficult or impossible to weld because of their high carbon content.

In multi-layer pipes with mechanical binding find as a starting semi-finished more - preferably two - finished pipes use. The method will be explained below with reference to the example of two tubes (in the case of further layers, the leads are to be understood accordingly):

Two finished tubes are made of the materials to be combined accurately and pushed into each other without friction, the outer tube must have a higher yield strength than the inner.

By expanding (mechanically - such as by means of an expansion punch - or by fluid pressure, wherein the nested tubes are pressed into a die comprising the outer tube), the inner tube is pressed into the outer tube with elastic expansion of the outer tube. After elimination of the expansion forces, the outer tube sets because of the higher elastic resilience frictionally around the inner tube.

Finally, the two materials are welded at the ends.

The disadvantage of this method according to the prior art is due to the fact that the outer tube must have a higher yield strength than the inner, otherwise the lack of adhesion to the inner tube causing and therefore required elastic resilience of the outer tube. This is particularly disadvantageous because high-strength materials - such as particularly high-strength steels - as they are particularly advantageous for abrasion-resistant piping inside the pipe, high or even very high yield strengths and thus are not suitable for this manufacturing process.

It is therefore an object of the present invention starting from the prior art to provide a multilayer pipe and method for its production, on the one hand seeks to avoid the aforementioned disadvantages, thus does not require roll-and / or blast-plated semi-finished, but on the other hand is not subject to the restrictions, the production Multi-layer pipes according to the prior art with frictional mechanical bonding of layers with each other brings.

This object is achieved according to the invention first by a method for producing a multilayer pipe with the aid of a bending roll, in which

individual layers of material to be combined with the multilayer pipe are stacked on top of one another, and

the multilayer material formed in this way is formed into a multilayer pipe with the aid of the bending roll and in the final phase of pipe forming in the bending roll and / or a subsequently used bending machine a respective inner pipe (which does not necessarily have to be completely formed, but in cross section can also form a partial circle, such as a gutter at the foot of the multi-layer pipe), acting material layer is non-positively pressed into a respectively acting as an outer tube material layer.

but also

by a multilayer pipe, which can be produced by the present inventive method.

Here, the use of rolled and / or blast-plated semifinished product can be avoided that the respective acting as an inner tube material layer pressed during tube formation in the bending roll and / or the final shaping usually necessary Anbiegemaschine frictionally in each acting as an outer tube material layer and is frictionally held in the respective outer tube and without having to expand the multilayer tube and thus to take the disadvantages already mentioned. It should be noted that in some cases, however, a final forming in the bending roll alone is possible, such as shorter bending rolls, which can perform the function of the final shaping of the tube with. In these cases, a bending machine does not participate in the method according to the invention. In a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention for producing a multilayer pipe

individual layers of material to be combined with the multilayer tube are stacked on top of each other,

Thereafter, a first connection between the layers of material is then created by connecting them, preferably approximately along a longitudinal or transverse edge of the overlying material layer, or preferably approximately along a line, preferably imaginary, parallel thereto,

the so formed multilayer material is formed by means of the bending roll to the tube, wherein the pressure of the rollers from top and bottom constantly a frictional connection between the material layers is generated and in the deformation of the still mutually displaceable parts of the material layers due to the different Bend radii of inner tube and outer tube move freely according to the deformation progress,

After a certain deformation progress, at least one further connection between the material layers is created by the material layer resting on at least one further position, preferably approximately along a second longitudinal or transverse edge of the overlying material layer or preferably approximately along a line, preferably imaginary parallel to each other, and

Then, the multi-layer pipe is formed with the help of the bending roller and / or the bending machine to the end, now no longer move the material layers against each other during this final shaping, whereby the respective acting as an inner tube material layer is non-positively pressed into each acting as an outer tube material layer.

As used herein, when referring to a compound along an edge or along a (preferably imaginary) line, it refers to any type of connection along the edge or line, whether that connection is along the entire edge or line or only in sections along the edge or line, or even in single points (such as spot welds), approximately at two points - preferably at the end points of the edge or line - or even at a single point on the edge or on the line.

In a further preferred embodiment of the method for producing a multilayer pipe with the aid of a bending roll according to the present invention,

the first connection between the material layers is created by connecting them along one of the longitudinal or transverse edges of the overlying material layer, and

There is at least one further connection between the material layers after a certain deformation progress along the second longitudinal or transverse edge of the overlying material layer.

The at least one further connection between the material layers can be created approximately after a deformation progress between 50% and less than 100%.

In a further particularly preferred embodiment of the method for producing a double-layer tube as a multilayer tube with an outer tube and an inner tube by means of a bending roll according to the present invention, the deformation progress results after the at least one further connection between the material _layers takes place - here called F _ßr and in parts of a hundred, preferably approximately as follows:

(DA-1-SA-SI) -π • (Z _s + 1)

e

^F for = 1 - ^■ 100

(DA-SA) -π- (DA-2 -SA-Siy π

with DA as the outer diameter of the outer tube in mm,

SA as the wall thickness of the outer tube in mm, SI as the wall thickness of the inner tube in mm, σi as yield strength of the inner tube in N / mm2, Zs as compression ratio given in parts of hundred and E as elastic modulus (modulus of elasticity) in N / mm2. The above expression results from the following relationships:

The length of the neutral fiber of the outer tube - here called L ^ - is:

L _nfa = (DA - SÄ) -π

The length of the neutral fiber of the inner tube - here called JL, ^ is:

L _nβ = (DA-2-SA-SI) -π

The displacement of the free sheet edge at 100% degree of deformation of the tube - here JL ₅ , called - is then:

^J fi> - Lψ L ^■ nfl

The degree of compression of the inner tube to reach the compression limit - here called εst - results in:

^ε St -

and the compression length to reach the compression limit to:

L * = ε _St - L _nβ - (Z _s + l)

The deformation progress, in which the further connection between the Werkstoffkgen takes place - here called F _fir - is then (as a value between 0 and 1) about:

and in parts of a hundred:

If you solve this expression

DA as outer diameter of the outer tube in mm,

SA as the wall thickness of the outer tube in mm,

SI as wall thickness of the inner tube in mm, σi as yield strength of the inner tube in N / mm ² ,

Zs as compression added given in parts of hundred and

E as elastic modulus (modulus of elasticity) in N / mm ²

On, we obtain the beginning of the deformation progress in which the further connection between the material layers takes place - here F _jor called and given in parts of a hundred - the expression already mentioned above. The compression allowance takes into account the manufacturing inaccuracy in the fixation of at least one other material layer connection, and compensates for this so that the desired pressing force of the inner tube is at least achieved against the outer tube.

Some examples may illustrate this, with the minimum and maximum, as well as the typical example, relating to the percentage of deformation at which the at least one further bond between the material layers occurs:

Table 1: Examples for determining the deformation progress for a further connection of the material layers The sought sizes are then as follows:

Table 2: Desired sizes for the examples for determining the deformation progress for a further connection of the material layers from Table 1

A further preferred embodiment of the method for producing a multilayer pipe by means of a bending roll according to the present invention is characterized in that at least one of the material layers consists of more than one applied element, preferably more than one sheet. The laid-up elements can lie with their longitudinal edge parallel to the longitudinal edge of the underlying material layer, but need not. So it is also possible that they come to rest with their longitudinal edge transverse thereto. If the elements are parallel with their longitudinal edge-preferably approximately parallel-to the longitudinal edge of the underlying material layer, the first connection between the material layers is preferably created by the elements, preferably sheets, after being placed along their joint, which at the same time each have a longitudinal edge the elements, preferably sheets, forms the resting material layer, with the underlying material layer, preferably the underlying sheet metal, are connected.

This method is particularly suitable for making large diameter, preferably larger than 610 mm (24 ") multilayer pipes of the invention where often the width of available inner layer material strips, preferably steel strips, is insufficient to provide a complete inner layer for such large If two tapes are not sufficient, the process can be continued as desired: three or more elements, preferably metal sheets, are then placed on top.

Preferably, in the method for producing a multilayer pipe by means of a bending roll according to the present invention, the multilayer pipe is closed by welding the outer pipe along the Rorhrnaht and build-up welding of the inner tube, so as to manufacture the multilayer tubular body.

Also, the material layers can be connected to the front sides of the tube, such as there to prevent the ingress of moisture between the metallurgically yes not fully connected material layers.

A preferred application of the method according to the present invention is the production of double-layer tubes according to the invention, however, the invention is not limited thereto, also three-, four- and more multi-layer pipes according to the invention are hereby basically produced, which is far more difficult according to the prior art if not impossible at all.

In a further particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention find sheets, preferably metal sheets and more preferably steel sheets, as a material layer or elements of the material layer use.

Also, in the method for producing a multilayer pipe by means of a bending roll according to the present invention, at least one of the compounds of the Material layers as a weld, which is particularly suitable for the aforementioned metal sheets, preferably steel sheets.

A further preferred embodiment of the method for producing a multilayer pipe by means of a bending roll according to the present invention is characterized in that

individual material layers to be combined to form multilayer pipe are stacked, wherein a material layer acting as a respective outer tube forms a base plate, which has a stop edge preferably approximately along its two longitudinal edges or approximately parallel thereto, and the resting material layer lies loosely between these stop edges comes, and

the multilayer material formed in this way is formed into a multilayer pipe with the aid of the bending roll, the respective material layer acting as inner pipe being clamped between the abutment edges and / or a subsequent bending machine acting as the inner pipe in the final phase of tube forming in the bending roll Material layer is thereby pressed non-positively in each acting as an outer tube material layer.

According to this embodiment of the present invention, as the respective inner layer thus also such materials - such as particularly high-strength steels - find use that can not or only very difficult to weld. However, the principle of the invention remains the same even according to this embodiment: The functioning as an inner tube material layer is already pressed during the tube forming in the bending roll frictionally in the respective functioning as an outer tube material layer and held frictionally in the respective outer tube.

Preferably, a gap is left between the edges of the overlying material layer and the stop edges, which closes only in the course of the tube forming process. It can be moved by forming the force acting as an inner tube material layer by Kraftteinwixkung acting as an outer tube material layer after molding of the tubular body, so that a plug-in sleeve is formed, which allows nesting of pipes, which allows a much simplified installation of the pipes on site.

Preferably, in this embodiment of the method according to the invention, a welding of the outer tube along the pipe seam to the completion of the tubular body.

The multilayer pipe obtained according to the invention, in particular the multilayer pipe obtained according to the present invention, can in particular be designed such that a respective inner material layer has a higher yield strength or yield strength (see below) than the respective outer material layer, wherein at least one material layer preferably comprises Sheet metal, particularly preferably consists of sheet steel.

A particularly preferred embodiment of a multi-layer pipe according to the invention is characterized in that the multilayer pipe is formed as a double-layer pipe, which has two layers of steel sheet, the layer acting as an inner tube steel sheet has a high to very high carbon content and thus at least not necessarily weldable at least.

The multi-layer pipes thus obtained according to the invention are different in many ways from those of the prior art, but without that these differences must all simultaneously show up in a multi-layer pipe according to the invention and thus could characterize it. Rather, these differences can occur in different combinations with each other, but they do not have to.

Thus, according to the present invention, on the one hand, it is not necessary to use clad sheets (with the disadvantages discussed above of long delivery times and limited availability, as well as high price), but on the other hand multi-layer pipes - in particular double-layer pipes made of steel sheet material - with high yield strength of the respective material Inner tube are produced at the same time lower yield strength of the material of contrast, the respective outer tube, which is required for such uses of multi-layer pipes, for which it has the highest possible abrasion resistance of the Inner tube arrives, since a high abrasion resistance usually synonymous with a high hardness and this in turn is accompanied by a high yield strength. Such multi-layer pipes, which have an inner pipe made of a material with a higher than or equal yield strength of a tube arranged externally, but nevertheless do not show a metallurgical connection of adjacent layers, can hitherto not be produced according to the prior art; they do not exist yet. On the other hand, they are made possible by the present invention. It should be pointed out that in the case of a non-pronounced yield strength - for example, in cases of increased plastic deformation - instead of the yield strength of the yield strength as the amount of stress a plastic permanent strain under a certain force occurs.

Regardless of what has been said above, the method according to the invention also makes possible a much greater variety of combinations of the materials in the multilayer pipes according to the invention. Thus, according to the state of the art, certain abrasion-resistant steels, for example, can not be used as the inner layer since these are due both to the high abrasion resistance i.d.R. The high yield strength associated with this is not suitable for use alone (for example as a liner tube) for the tube forming process and would also have to be welded for inner tube formation, but due to their high carbon content this is not or only slightly suitable for this purpose. H. especially not necessarily weld (see above). Corresponding pipes therefore do not exist until today. By contrast, the method according to the invention, which in a preferred embodiment makes use of the frictional pressing of the respective inner tube into the respective outer tube during the production process, also enables the production of such multilayer tubes which, as inner layer, comprise a material which can not be welded or is not necessarily weldable - for example a steel high, preferably very high carbon content - use. Also, the use of materials that can not be welded at all, such as modern plastics, which have the desired properties of a pipe inner layer, becomes possible in the first place. Tubes with such inner layers also do not exist so far.

Again independently of this, multi-layer pipes without expensive and poorly available plated (full metallurgically bonded) sheets can be produced in nearly arbitrarily large diameters with the inventive method, which is not yet possible according to the prior art, since the necessary expansion by the Dimensions of the expansion stamp used or by a, in the case of hydraulic expansion-Krafteiαwirkung necessary for the uniform formation die enclosing the multi-layer tube to be produced, is limited. In contrast, the bending roll method according to the invention allows multilayer pipes which are not subject to such predetermined limits, since the bending roll, which indeed only forms a shaping at one point of the radius of curvature of the pipe, thus does not limit the diameter of the multilayer pipe according to the invention. This makes it possible, in particular, to produce multilayer pipes without plated metal sheets which exceed the limit given by the current state of the art of approximately 610 mm (24 ") diameter, preferably far.

Also, the present invention first enables the production of multilayer tubes with partial inner layer, i. a cross-sectionally only a partial circle forming inner tube, for example in the form of a gutter insert on the pipe base, which has hitherto also not possible according to the prior art.

In this context, it is worth noting that according to the method of the present invention, of course, pipes in only very small numbers, especially individual pieces are economically produced, which in a case by the prior art in one case by the costly plating and the necessary Mindestfertigungslose and the other Trap is prevented by the necessary for expanding this purpose specially designed tools and devices.
