Abstract

Provided is an efficient preparation method of a bimetallic seamless composite pipe, and belongs to the technical field of steel pipe manufacture. The efficient preparation method of the bimetallic seamless composite pipe includes following steps: sheathing a base pipe blank on a cladding pipe blank to obtain a composite pipe blank, and carrying out a stress relief annealing treatment on the composite pipe blank, where the base pipe blank and the cladding pipe blank are made of different materials; heating the composite pipe blank after the stress relief annealing treatment to a hot working window temperature, and sheathing on a core rod of an extrusion cylinder after an insulation treatment, and then extruding along an axial direction of the extrusion cylinder to obtain a bimetallic seamless composite pipe.

Claims (15)

1. An efficient preparation method of a bimetallic seamless composite pipe, comprising following steps:

(1) material selection: materials of a base pipe blank and a cladding pipe blank are different, and a material of the base pipe blank is 6061 aluminum alloy or 5052 aluminum alloy; a material of the cladding pipe blank is 1060 aluminum alloy, AZ31B magnesium alloy or T2 copper;

(2) sheathing the base pipe blank on the cladding pipe blank to obtain a composite pipe blank;

selecting an outer diameter D 0 of the composite pipe blank according to an inner diameter D 1 of an extrusion cylinder, wherein a selection rule is D 0 =D 1 −(0.3-10) mm, and units of D 1 and D 0 are mm;

selecting an inner diameter do of the composite pipe blank according to a diameter D 2 of a core rod, wherein a selection rule is d 0 =D 2 +(1-3) mm;

(3) a shape of an assembly interface between the base pipe blank and the cladding pipe blank: an outer contour of the cladding pipe blank is processed from a big end to a small end in transition, an outer diameter of the big end is 1.5-2.6 times an outer diameter of the small end, and an inner contour of the cladding pipe blank is cylindrical;

an outer contour of the base pipe blank is cylindrical, an inner contour of the base pipe blank is matched with the outer contour of the cladding pipe blank, and there is a gap of 0.05 mm between the inner contour of the base pipe blank and the outer contour of the cladding pipe blank;

(4) calculating a wall thickness b 03 of the small end of the cladding pipe blank according to a wall thickness b 1 of a formed base pipe wall, a wall thickness b 2 of a cladding pipe wall, and a difference between an elastic modulus E 2 of a cladding pipe material and an elastic modulus E 1 of a base pipe material, wherein b 03 =b 2 +K, and K is a supplementary wall thickness of the cladding pipe blank; when E 2 −E 1 <−10 GPa, K=0.5-1 mm; when −10 GPa≤E 2 −E 1≤0 GPa, K=0.2-0.5 mm; and when E 2 −E 1 >0 GPa, K=0-0.2 mm; and units of E 1 and E 2 are GPa;

(5) carrying out a stress relief annealing treatment on the composite pipe blank, wherein a temperature of the stress relief annealing treatment is 280-350° C., and a duration is 2 h; and

(6) heating the composite pipe blank obtained in step (2) after the stress relief annealing treatment to a hot working window temperature, then sheathing the composite pipe blank onto the core rod of the extrusion cylinder after an insulation treatment, and then extruding the composite pipe blank along an axial direction of the extrusion cylinder to obtain a bimetallic seamless composite pipe;

the hot working window temperature is 0.75-0.95 times of a melting point of a metal;

an outer diameter of a composite pipe blank is defined as D 0 mm, and when D 0 <50 mm, an insulation duration for the insulation treatment is (1.5×D 0 ) min; when 50 mm<D 0 <100 mm, the insulation duration for the insulation treatment is [(1.5+0.01×(D 0 −50))×D 0 ] min; when D 0 >100 mm, the insulation duration for the insulation treatment is (2.5×D 0 ) min;

a temperature for the extrusion is a same as the temperature for the insulation treatment; an extrusion ratio of the extrusion is 25, and an extrusion speed is 1-5 mm/s;

units of D 1 , D 2 , D 0 , d 0 , b 1 , b 2 , b 03 and K are all mm.

2. The preparation method according to claim 1 , wherein a discharge end for the extrusion is a side being the small end of the outer contour of the cladding pipe blank.
