Definitions
- a device for forming workpieces by pressure waves generated inv a liquid by an undersurfnee spark discharge has two electrodes immersed in the liquid. The electrodes are-mutually separated so as to define a spark gap.
- a capacitor battery is connected across the electrodes and un ignitor is suspended between the electrodes.
- the ignitor is made up of a carrier threaded of nonconductive material surrounded by a sheath of conductive material.
- Our invention relates to a device for forming workpieces wherein pressures waves are produced by underwater spark discharges of a bank of capacitors over a spark gap, an ignitor being arranged between the electrodes in the spark gap.
- the pressure wave required for forming the workpiece is produced by an underwater spark discharge.
- the sparkover occurs between electrodes disposed in the water after a bank of capacitors charged to a high voltage is switched in.
- the electrical field strength which results from the electrode spacing and the capacitor voltage suffices for impact ionizing the water or other suitable transfer medium.
- the electrode spacing for a free sparkover is limited to several centimeters.
- this limitation remains when the liquid which functions as a transfer medium contains particles, preferably metallic, in the fonn of a fine distribution or suspension. Consequently, the electrode spacing for a free sparkover cannot be arbitrarily increased. Also, since the particles are evenly distributed in the liquid in order to prevent sparkovers to the workpiece, the electrode spacing should be shorter than the shortest distance between the workpiece and the electrodes.
- the ignition must be provided by means other than a free sparkover.
- the most well-known solution in such instances is to use thin wires which are clamped between the electrodes and which are vaporized in the manner of an explosion at the start of the capacitor discharge.
- the use of ignition wires has the disadvantage that its automatic introduction into the spark gap is associated with various difficulties such as the welding of the contact regions at the electrodes.
- lt is another object of the invention to provide a workpieceforrning device wherein the installation of the ignitor is greatly facilitated.
- the workpiece forming device is provided with an ignitor comprising a thread of a nonconductive carrier enclosed in a conductive sheath.
- an ignitor comprising a thread of a nonconductive carrier enclosed in a conductive sheath. The formation of an underwater spark discharge of a bank of capacitors is thereby facilitated.
- a most significant advantage afforded by the invention is the considerable ease with which the ignitor is placed in the spark gap as compared with the wires used in some of the known devices.
- a workpiece-forming device according to the invention operates at maximum efficiency and only a slight burn-off of the electrodes from the discharge of the ignitor occurs. Following the discharge, the nonconductive carrier remains almost intact and is only divested of its conductive sheath. This is especially surprising since the materials used as carriers can be ignited even by the flame of a match whereas the temperatures in the spark gap occurring during explosions of the wires are estimated to be at several thousand degrees Kelvin and the carriers are subjected to pressures which act to form the workpiece.
- the thread which functions as the ignitor can, for example, be comprised of a carrier of textile fibers and a sheath of conductive powder.
- Carrier threads made from any of the following materials are suitable: cotton, hemp, silk and synthetic material such as, for example, Perlon.
- the most suitable sheath is conductive silver, graphite, nickel-, copperand tungsten-powder prepared in a mixture of a nitrovarnish and solvent.
- the choice of the solvent portion and of the thickness of the sheath can influence the resistance of the ignitor.
- an electrode spacing of 180 mm. and a resistance range of lit to 100. establish the same optimal forming of the workpiece.
- the sheath or coating is not a critical magnitude and can, therefore, be applied with an inexpensive dipping process.
- the sheath can also be applied, for example, by vapor deposition, galvanically or by other appropriate methods.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of an embodiment of the invention for forming cylindrical workpieces
- FIGS. 2 and 3 are schematic illustrations of embodiments of the invention for forming planar workpieces.
- FIG. 1 illustrates an embodiment of the invention used for forming workpieces having a cylindrical configuration. This embodiment makes it possible for the first time to form an elongated cylindrical workpiece according to the hydrospark method with multiple discharges and a one-time installation of the workpiece in the workpieceforming device.
- the table below illustrates various combinations of nonconductive carrier and conductive sheath materials which can make up the ignitor of the forming device for forming an annealed steel pipe 60 mm. in diameter and having a wall thickness of 1 mm.
- the electrode spacing is 180 mm. and the charge on the capacitor battery is 20 kv., the latter having a capacitance of 16.8 pf.
- reference numeral 1 denotes the workpiece to be formed, namely, a water-filled tube which is sealed on top and bottom by insulating parts 2.
- insulating parts 2 By means of a central bore through the insulating parts 2, two electrodes 3a, 3b extend into the water chamber and are screwed into the terminal brackets 4 of the hydrospark installation.
- the ignitor 5 starts from a reel 6 and is guided through the bore of earthgrounded electrode 3a. Provided the insulation is adequate,
- electrode 3b is connected to a bank of capacitors 7 via threeelectrode spark gap 8.
- a high voltage is applied to electrode 3b.
- the energizing circuit for the capacitor bank and an ignition electrode for ener gizing the three-electrode spark gap 8 are disclosed in copending application Ser. No. 803,179, filed on Feb. 28, 1969 and having the title: Hydroelectric Forming of Cylindrical Work piece by Capacitor Discharge.
- the nonconductive carrier of the ignitor 5 is transported along the electrode 3b such that the segment of the ignitor 5 between the electrodes will again have a sheath and so conductively bridge the electrodes.
- the second discharge can follow provided the assembly remains tight after the first discharge.
- the assembly will remain tight because the second and subsequent discharges are of significant consequence only if the preceding discharge results in a slight forming of the workpiece.
- the means required to ensure a good seal are only symbolically represented by the sealing rings 9.
- Planar pressure waves are desirable, for example, for forming workpieces such as sheet metal by stamping, deep drawing and punching, the workpieces being planar prior to forming.
- the portion of the pressure wave which does not impinge directly upon the planar-workpiece can be directed to the workpiece with the aid of reflectors and with a shift in the transit time.
- the ignitor according to the invention which works at optimum efficiency for cylindrical forming as indicated by the table, can also be applied successfully for forming the planar workpiece.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate embodiments of the invention which function to produce approximately planar pressure waves.
- the arrows 30 and 40 in FIGS. 2 and 3 respectively emphasize that here too the ignitor permits a renewed bridging of the spark gap through an additional transport of the carrier.
- FIG. 2 is exemplary of a device for forming planar workpieces with a cylindrical pressure wave and a reflector cap.
- the workpiece 21 to be formed is clamped to a form 23 with a holding implement.
- the reflector cap 24 is disposed above the workpiece and the space between workpiece 21 and cap 24 is filled with water 25.
- the perpen- 0 2s is the double deforming path.
- the dicular walls of the cap hold two insulating parts 26 through which pass the electrodes 27.
- the ignitor 28 runs through a bore in the electrodes, and its continuous transport is achieved as depicted in FIG. 1.
- the electrodes 27 are connected via terminal brackets 29 to a bank of capacitors 19 which is .ess ai sek s rsvs e-shapes steak s t? 2;
- FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of a device for forming a planar workpiece 31 by means of several superimposed, cylindrical pressure waves.
- the workpiece 31 is secured to a form 33 with a holddown device 32.
- the water chamber 35 is sealed above by cap 34 which contains several wall-mounted insulating parts 36.
- Electrodes 37 are guided through two of these insulating parts and are connected to a capacitor bank (not shown) via terminal brackets 39.
- the other insulating parts contain eyelets or guide rollers 41 for directing the ignitor 38. Following a discharge of the capacitor bank the ignitor is transported further by the unimpaired carrier and thereby establishing a renewed bridging of the spark gap.
- a device for forming workpieces by pressure waves w generated in a liquid by an undersurface spark discharge comprising two electrodes immersed in said liquid and mutually separated so as to define a spark gap, a capacitor battery connected across said electrodes, and an ignitor suspended between said electrodes in said spark gap, said ignitor comprising a carrier thread of textile fibers and a coating of conductive powder covering said thread.
