摘要:
The present invention provides a mechanical pipe-end expander comprising a cone and a die having tapered wedge bodies whose outer radius is larger towards a flangeless end direction from a flange end, wherein a pipe-end zone is expanded by a wedge effect of the die, which results from a procedure that the cone and the die are inserted together into the pipe-end zone to be expanded, and that then only the cone is axially drawn outwards leaving the die within the pipe-end zone. A seamless steel pipe with an expanded pipe-end zone is manufactured by applying a mechanical pipe-end expander comprising a die having tapered wedge bodies whose outer radius is larger towards a flangeless end direction from a flange end. The resulting seamless steel pipe has satisfactory pipe-end dimensional accuracy, and exhibits characteristics with excellent field welding workability.

An apparatus for sizing a pipe end comprising: a plug 3 for sizing the pipe end; a chuck 2 for clamping the pipe; and shifting means for shifting the position of the plug 3 and/the chuck 2, which are placed successively from the end of the pipe 2, and the plug 3 has a circular cross section, and is constituted by a taper portion 31 and a diameter equivalent portion 32 continuously formed from the tip of the plug in succession. The outer diameter of the taper portion 31 is gradually expanding from the tip toward the rear end while satisfying the following formulas (1) and (2). The chuck 2 is capable of changing clamping position of the pipe 1. This apparatus makes it possible to size the inner diameter of a pipe end with superior dimensional precision. 22≦LR/(D1×0.01/2)≦115 (1) R2≧R1 (2)

A plug 1 includes a first columnar portion 20, a tapered portion 30, and a second columnar portion 40. The first columnar portion 20 has an outside diameter D1. The second columnar portion 40 has an outside diameter D2 which is larger than the outside diameter D1. The tapered portion 30 is formed between the first columnar portion 20 and the second columnar portion 40. The tapered portion 30 has a tapered surface 31 provided with an outside diameter which is gradually increased from the first columnar portion 20 to the second columnar portion 40, and an axial direction length L. The outside diameters D1 and D2, and the axial direction length L meet the following expressions (1) to (4): 0.25≦ρ≦2.00 (1), 0.06≦L/D2≦0.8 (2), L/D2≦0.3×ρ+0.575 (3), and L/D2≧0.1×ρ (4) where ρ=(D2−D1)/D1×100. Therefore, the cold drawing plug according to the present invention can reduce the tensile residual stress on the outer surface of a metal pipe after the cold drawing.

A steel tube hot-finished by the Mannesmann tube-making method is subjected to a simple grinding process for the inner surface, and thereafter to a cold drawing, so that the depth d of the concave portion in the concavo-convex profile forming the inner surface of the steel tube, the surface roughness Ra and the width w of the entrance in the concave portion are specified, or similarly the depth d of the concave portion in the concavo-convex profile, the Vickers hardness Hv of the inner surface layer and the width w of the entrance in the concave portion are specified, hollow parts for a drive shaft, which have an excellent fatigue strength and which is optimal to reduce the weight of a car body, can be produced. Accordingly, the application of the manufacturing method according to the present invention allows drive shafts for automobiles to be efficiently produced in a reduced manufacturing cost, thereby providing a significant advantage in the industry.
