Improvement of Manufacturing Technology for Thin-Walled Pipes Made of Copper Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

Thin-walled pipes made of copper alloys – the brass grades L96, L68, L63, LANKMc; the bronze grade BrOF (the GOST state standard) are of great demand in aircraft, shipbuilding, automotive, defense, diesel and instrument-making industries. Pipe diameter ranges between 4.0 and 20 mm, and wall thickness is in the range from 0.1 to 0.6 mm. The manufacture of these pipes using traditional technological schemes is characterized by high labor input and low stability in providing quality characteristics, such as dimensional accuracy, the presence of surface defects and the level of mechanical properties. This study presents scientific evidence, new technological schemes developed for manufacturing pipes made of copper alloys with the use of the equipment and technology of multiple drawing on a long movable mandrel and results of their adoption at Revda Non-Ferrous Metal Processing Works JSC.
