A335 P12 90 Seam Butt Welding Elbow Long Radius Pipe Pipefittings Connection
Alloy elbow is a general term for a variety of elbows. It is used to connect two pipes with the same nominal diameter to make the pipe bend at 90° or other angles. It is made of various materials and alloy elbows have a wide range of uses.
Ordinary bronze alloy elbows are more common in general tap water pipes, but with the improvement of living standards, many tap water pipes are switched to stainless steel elbows.
Hot forming
The hot push elbow forming process is to use a special elbow
pusher, core mold and heating device, so that the blank sleeved on
the mold moves forward under the push of the pusher, and is heated,
expanded and bent during the movement. the process of. The
deformation characteristic of the hot push elbow is to determine
the diameter of the tube blank according to the law of the constant
volume before and after the plastic deformation of the metal
material. The tube blank diameter used is smaller than the elbow
diameter, and the deformation process of the blank is controlled by
the mandrel, so that the inner arc is compressed The metal flow is
compensated to other parts that are thinned due to diameter
expansion, so as to obtain an elbow with uniform wall thickness.
The hot push elbow forming process has the characteristics of
beautiful appearance, uniform wall thickness and continuous
operation, and is suitable for mass production. Therefore, it has
become the main forming method for carbon steel and alloy steel
elbows, and is also applied to certain specifications of stainless
steel elbows. Is forming.
The heating methods of the forming process include medium-frequency
or high-frequency induction heating (the heating ring can be
multi-turn or single-turn), flame heating and reverberatory furnace
heating. The heating method used depends on the requirements of the
formed product and the energy situation.
Stamping
Stamping elbow is the earliest forming process used in mass
production of seamless elbows. It has been replaced by hot push or
other forming processes in the production of commonly used elbows.
However, in some specifications of elbows, due to the production
quantity Less, the wall thickness is too thick or too thin.
The product is still used when there are special requirements. The
stamping and forming of the elbow adopts a tube blank with the same
outer diameter as that of the elbow, and is directly pressed into a
mold by a press.
Before punching, the tube blank is placed on the lower mold, the
inner core and the end mold are loaded into the tube blank, the
upper mold moves downward to start pressing, and the elbow is
formed by the restraint of the outer mold and the support of the
inner mold.
Compared with the hot push process, the appearance quality of
stamping forming is not as good as the former; the outer arc of the
stamping elbow is in a stretched state during forming, and there is
no excess metal in other parts to compensate, so the wall thickness
at the outer arc is reduced by about 10% . However, due to its
suitability for single-piece production and low cost, the stamping
elbow process is mostly used in the manufacture of small batches
and thick-walled elbows.
There are two types of stamping elbows: cold stamping and hot
stamping. Cold stamping or hot stamping is usually selected
according to material properties and equipment capabilities.
The forming process of cold extrusion elbow is to use a special
elbow forming machine to put the tube blank into the outer mold.
After the upper and lower molds are closed, under the push of the
push rod, the tube blank is reserved along the inner and outer
molds. The gap movement completes the forming process.
The elbow manufactured by the cold extrusion process of inner and
outer molds has beautiful appearance, uniform wall thickness and
small size deviation. Therefore, this process is often used for the
forming of stainless steel elbows, especially thin-walled stainless
steel elbows. The precision requirements of the inner and outer
molds used in this process are high; the requirements for the wall
thickness deviation of the tube blank are also strict.
