Abstract

The invention discloses a high-precision thermal expanding method for high-strength steel pipes. The method comprises the processing steps of preparation of an expanding machine, furnace heating, thermal expanding, external furnace cooling and stripping. The steel pipes to be expanded are charged into a heating furnace and heated to the temperature of between 600 and 800 DEG C, wherein according to the steel pipes, the tensile strength sigma b is between 1,640 and 2,100MPa, the yielding strength sigma 0.2 is 1,400 to 1,950MPa, the wall thickness is 1 to 10 millimeters, the steel pipes are made of different materials, and the inside diameters of the steel pipes are conical or cylindrical; after expanding, the steel pipes are processed into the high-precision steel pipes, the roundness of which is less than or equal to 0.4 millimeter and the linearity of which is less than or equal to 0.6 millimeters per meter; and the method overcomes the defect that the normal temperature expanding process cannot meet the high-precision expanding requirements of the high-strength steel pipes. The method is suitable for expanding various high-strength steel pipes with different chemical components.The expanded high-strength steel pipes produced by using the method are widely applied in the fields of petroleum and natural gas delivery, aerospace and military affairs.
