Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for forming a hollow 26 of a ferritic FeCrAl alloy into a tube 2. While tubes made of powder metallurgical, dispersion hardened, ferritic FeCrAl alloys are commercially available, hollows made of FeCrAl alloys so far can hardly be formed into tubes of small dimensions. The major reason for the problems in forming hollows of a ferritic FeCrAI alloy into a finished product is that FeCrAl alloys are brittle. It is therefore an aspect of the present invention to provide a tube 2 made of a ferritic FeCrAl alloy having arbitrary small dimensions. Furthermore, it is an aspect of the present invention to provide a machine 1 and a method for forming a tubular hollow 26 into a finished tube 2 of a ferritic FeCrAl alloy. At least one of the above aspects is addressed by a method for forming a hollow into a tube 2 comprising the steps providing the hollow 26 of a ferritic FeCrAl alloy, heating the hollow 26 to a temperature in a range from 90° C. to 150° C., and forming the heated hollow 26 by pilger milling or drawing into the tube.

Abstract

Method for manufacturing a tube of metal in which sensors are attached to tubes, which register and signal a damage of the tube. It is detrimental that protection of the sensors at these tubes against environmental influences is complex. In contrast, it is an object of the present disclosure to provide a method for manufacturing a tube, in which the signal line can be protectively mounted. To solve this object, a method for manufacturing a tube of metal is suggested with an outer tube and an inner tube, wherein a groove is drawn in an inner surface of the outer tube or in an outer surface of the inner tube and subsequently the inner tube and the outer tube are drawn together through a drawing die, wherein the inner dimension of the outer tube is reduced such that after the drawing the outer tube is force-fitted onto the inner tube.

Abstract

A cold pilger rolling mill includes a pair of rolls rotatably attached to a roll stand, a crank drive on a driveshaft, which is rotatably mounted around a rotation axis, with a counterweight attached to the crank drive at a radial distance from the rotation axis, and a push rod with a first and a second end. The first end of the push rod is rotatably attached on the crank drive wherein, during the operation of the mill, a rotation of the crank drive is converted into a translation movement of the roll stand between a first and a second reversal position. The radial distance of the first end of the push rod from the rotation axis is adjustable, so that the distance between the two reversal positions of the translation movement of the roll stand is adjustable.

Abstract

A pilger rolling mill with a roll stand moves linearly back and forth along a movement direction and includes a crank mechanism having a rotatably supported crankshaft with a crank pin and push rod. A first end of the push rod is pivotably fastened to the crank pin and a second end is pivotably fastened to the roll stand, so that during operation of the pilger rolling mill a rotary movement of the crankshaft is converted into an oscillating movement of the roll stand along the movement direction. A compensation shaft is rotatably supported about an axis of rotation and includes a distribution of mass that is not rotationally symmetrical relative to its axis of rotation and a counter-mass. The crankshaft and the compensation shaft are connected to one another by a transmission so that a rotation of the crankshaft leads to a rotation of the compensation shaft.

Abstract

Winding device with which a tube produced in a rolling installation can be wound up outside the rolling installation. The tube which has already left the rolling installation is coiled or wound up in such a winding device for transport purposes. The disclosed device and method make it possible for the tube in the finished shaped condition to be put into a transportable state downstream of the roll stand while still other portions of the tube are at the stage of the tube shell or are just being shaped. For that purpose a winding device for a tube produced in a rolling installation has a bending device for curving the tube so that it can be wound in a spiral shape around a first axis, and a holding frame, wherein the bending device is mounted to the holding frame pivotably about a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis.
