Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nonferrous metal metallurgy, in particular to a processing technology of an oxygen-free copper tube for a magnetron anode cylinder. Background Art

[0002] In the traditional copper tube processing technology, especially for the production of oxygen-free copper tubes for magnetron anode cylinders with high precision requirements, there are many challenges. First, traditional processes often find it difficult to achieve high purity requirements, resulting in insufficient copper content in the product, which directly affects the conductivity and overall quality of the copper tube. Secondly, due to technical limitations, the copper tubes produced by traditional processing methods have a high oxygen content, which not only reduces the purity of the copper tube, but also may introduce impurity elements, affecting its physical and chemical properties, especially in application scenarios with strict requirements on oxygen content. Furthermore, the traditional process has low precision in dimensional control, and the deviations in outer diameter, inner diameter and wall thickness are large, which cannot meet the strict requirements of high-precision equipment such as magnetron anode cylinders on the size of copper tubes. These factors combined limit the application potential of traditional copper tube processing technology in the high-end market. Therefore, the development of a copper tube processing technology that can simultaneously solve the problems of low copper content, high oxygen content and insufficient precision has become a technical problem that needs to be broken through in the industry.

[0032] Figure 1 It is a process flow chart of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] See also Figure 1 The processing technology of oxygen-free copper tube for magnetron anode cylinder includes the following steps:

[0035] Step 1. Raw material preparation: Select copper ingots with a copper content of 99.97%-100% as raw materials (selecting copper ingots of this purity as raw materials can ensure that the copper content of the raw materials themselves is close to 99.97% or more, thereby improving the purity of the final product from the source);

[0036] Step 2, smelting: placing the copper ingot in a vacuum electric furnace for heating and melting, controlling the smelting and solidification process, and obtaining smelted copper liquid (while using the vacuum electric furnace, adding an appropriate amount of charcoal to cover it to isolate the oxygen in the air, thereby reducing the oxygen content of the copper tube and increasing the copper content);

[0037] Step 3: Extrusion molding: pour the smelted copper liquid into the copper tube mold through the pouring port, use a press and set the press parameters to hydraulically extrude the copper into a copper tube blank, and initially form the outer wall of the copper tube blank of the required thickness;

[0038] Step 4, rolling: Place the copper tube blank at the entrance of the two-roller Piger mill (make sure that the copper tube blank is aligned with the rollers), use the two-roller Piger mill for preliminary rolling, reduce the wall thickness of the copper tube by reducing the roll gap by 0.23mm±0.0015mm each time, while maintaining the circular cross-section of the copper tube, and roll the copper tube alternately between the two-roller Piger mill and the four-roller mill for 5-8 passes until the copper tube reaches the required wall thickness and dimensional accuracy (improve processing accuracy to reduce oxidation and uneven deformation of materials during processing, and further ensure the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the copper tube);

[0039] Step 5, heat treatment: annealing the rolled copper tube (annealing refers to heating the copper tube to a certain temperature and keeping it warm for a period of time and then cooling it to room temperature to eliminate stress, improve plasticity, reduce hardness, and improve processing performance and mechanical properties), solution treatment (solution treatment refers to heating the processed copper tube to the solution temperature and keeping it warm for a period of time and then cooling it rapidly to eliminate the solute atoms in the solid solution and improve the strength and hardness of the alloy), aging treatment (aging treatment refers to heating the copper tube after solution treatment to the aging temperature again and keeping it warm for a period of time and then cooling it to make the precipitation phase reach the best state and improve the strength and hardness of the alloy);

[0040] Step 6. Cutting: Use chipless sawing technology to cut the copper tube as needed to ensure a smooth cutting surface;

[0041] Step 7: Cleaning: Clean the cut copper tube to remove impurities and oil stains on the surface and keep the tube wall clean;

[0042] Step 8. Bending: Use a pipe bender to bend the copper pipe according to the required bending degree to avoid cracks and deformation of the pipe wall;

[0043] Step 9, surface treatment: polishing and sandblasting the bent copper tube (polishing is to grind the surface of the copper tube by abrasives and polishing machinery to make it bright and smooth; while sandblasting is to spray sand particles onto the surface of the copper tube by compressed air to change its surface morphology);

[0044] Step 10: Quality control: Implement intelligent online quality monitoring throughout the production process, including quality testing with online detectors and regular sampling tests to ensure that every link meets high standards;

[0045] Step 11: Post-processing: Dry the copper tube in an oven to remove residual moisture, ensure the dry state of the copper tube, and avoid oxidation during storage or transportation;

[0046] Step 12: Finished product inspection: Conduct size inspection, mechanical property test and appearance inspection on the finished copper tubes to ensure that each copper tube meets the quality standards.

[0047] Specifically, the vacuum furnace smelting conditions in step 2 are set as follows: the vacuum degree is controlled at 70-95 Pa (to reduce the mixing of oxygen and other impurities), the smelting temperature is controlled at 1175°C-1190°C (to ensure that the copper ingot can be fully melted and achieve appropriate fluidity), the holding time is controlled at 0.95-1.2h (to ensure the uniformity of the copper liquid and the temperature stability), and the electromagnetic field current intensity is controlled at 60A-70A (to improve the smelting efficiency and optimize the smelting process).

(to ensure that the copper tube can be effectively cooled and at an appropriate cooling rate during the solidification process, thereby affecting the microstructure and performance of the copper tube), and the vacuum degree is maintained at 70-95 Pa (to maintain the purity of the copper liquid).

[0049] Specifically, the parameters of the press in step three are set as follows: the extrusion pressure is controlled at 250-300 MPa (this pressure range ensures that the copper liquid can fully fill the mold during the extrusion process to form a copper tube with high density, smooth surface and precise size), the extrusion temperature is controlled between 900°C and 1000°C (to ensure that the copper liquid has good fluidity and plasticity), and the extrusion speed is controlled at 8-10 m / min (the extrusion speed will be relatively slow to ensure that the material can flow evenly in the mold and fill every part of the mold).

[0050] Specifically, in step 4, the setting process of thinning the copper tube wall thickness by reducing the roll gap by 0.23mm±0.0015mm each time is as follows: the wall thickness of the copper tube blank is 2mm, the target wall thickness of the copper tube is 0.15mm, the total reduction is 1.85mm, and the target size is achieved through 8 rolling passes, so the average reduction per rolling is 0.23mm.

[0051] Specifically, the conditions for 5-8 passes of rolling in step 4 are: pressure controlled at 300-310 MPa, processing rate controlled at 76%-77%, temperature controlled at 25-30° C., and rolling speed controlled at 50 mm / min-55 mm / min.

[0052] Specifically, the annealing process in step five is: use a box furnace for annealing, set the annealing temperature between 450°C and 650°C, set the insulation time to 2.5-3.5h, and choose air cooling to ensure that the copper tube is evenly heated during the heating and cooling process.

[0053] Specifically, the solution treatment process in step five is: select a continuous solution treatment furnace for solution treatment, control the solution temperature at 800°C-900°C, control the insulation time at 30min-45min, and select water cooling for cooling to achieve rapid and uniform heating and rapid cooling.

[0054] Specifically, the aging treatment process in step five is: select a box-type furnace for aging treatment, control the aging temperature at 200°C-300°C, control the insulation time at 3-5h, and select a natural temperature cooling method for cooling.

[0055] Specifically, the sandblasting conditions in step nine are: select corundum as the sandblasting material, control the compressed air pressure at 0.20-0.25 MPa, and control the distance between the sandblasting gun and the surface of the copper tube to be 15-20 cm.
