Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of tantalum bellows expansion joint forming, and in particular relates to a tantalum bellows expansion joint forming device and method. Background Art

[0002] Tantalum and tantalum alloys have excellent corrosion resistance. In the chemical industry, tantalum is an ideal corrosion-resistant material, especially in some severe corrosion conditions. Tantalum has corrosion resistance and stability that other metals cannot match. However, due to the high price of tantalum materials, in order to save equipment manufacturing costs, tantalum chemical equipment generally adopts a loose lining structure and only uses thin-walled tantalum materials as the lining layer of the equipment. Since the tantalum lining layer cannot be completely fitted with the base layer and the thermal expansion coefficients are different, large thermal stress is often generated in the tantalum lining layer. This thermal stress may cause the tantalum lining layer or its weld to crack, resulting in leakage failure, which greatly reduces the service life of tantalum loose lining equipment.

[0003] Expansion joints have the function of absorbing external forces and compensating displacements. Therefore, by setting a bellows expansion joint on the tantalum lining layer, the problem of cracking of the tantalum lining weld caused by thermal stress can be eliminated. Tantalum bellows expansion joints can not only effectively compensate for the thermal stress deformation of the tantalum lining layer, but also greatly improve the rigidity of the tantalum lining layer, thereby improving the reliability of such containers and extending the service life of the equipment. However, the molding technology of tantalum bellows expansion joints is not mature at present, and there is no ready-made processing equipment available in China. Therefore, researching a tantalum bellows expansion joint molding device with good molding quality, low production cost, and simple and efficient operation has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved.

[0092] Step 301, adjust the tool mechanism 2 to move closer to the split mold 1, when the tool mechanism 2 fits the outer wall of the outer tantalum liner 6 of the split mold 1; adjust the tool mechanism 2 to move along the length direction of the split mold 1 until the center of the blade 2-6 along the thickness direction of the circumferential side coincides with the center projection of the corrugated groove 5;

[0093] Step 302, the main shaft 3 is operated to rotate, the rotation of the main shaft 3 drives the split mold 1 to rotate, and the rotation of the split mold 1 drives the tantalum liner 6 to rotate; during the rotation of the tantalum liner 6, the blade 2-6 is radially fed to contact the tantalum liner 6, and the blade 2-6 spins the cylinder wall of the tantalum liner 6. When the cylinder wall of the tantalum liner 6 spun by the blade 2-6 contacts the bottom of the corrugated groove 5, the radial feeding of the blade 2-6 is stopped, and the processing of a corrugated expansion joint is completed;

[0094] Step 303, the blade 2-6 is retracted in the radial direction, and the blade 2-6 is adjusted to move along the length direction of the split mold 1 until the center of the blade 2-6 along the thickness direction of the circumferential side coincides with the center projection of the next corrugated groove 5;

[0095] Step 304, repeating step 302 to complete the processing of the next bellows expansion joint;

[0096] Step 305, repeating steps 303 and 304 until the processing of the bellows expansion joints of the tantalum liner 6 at the plurality of bellows grooves 5 is completed;

[0097] Step 4: Dismantling of the Tantalum Bellows Expansion Joint Forming Device:

[0098] Step 401, removing the split mold 1 and the processed tantalum liner 6 from the machine tool 4;

[0099] Step 402, dismantle the bolts and the fixing flange 1-1, remove the tile-shaped mold 1-3 from the processed tantalum liner 6, and obtain a tantalum bellows expansion joint.

[0100] In this embodiment, the rotation speed of the spindle 3 in step 302 is 30 r / min to 50 r / min;

[0101] In step 302, the radial feed speed of the blade 2-6 is 0.4 mm / min to 0.6 mm / min.

[0102] In this embodiment, the wall thickness of the tantalum liner 6 in step 102 is 0.5 mm to 2 mm.

[0103] In this embodiment, the rotation speed of the main shaft 3 is set to 30r / min~50r / min. This is because if the rotation speed of the main shaft 3 is greater than 50r / min, the friction between the tantalum liner 6 and the part of the blade 2-6 that is spun will be too large, which may easily cause tearing during the expansion joint forming process of the tantalum liner 6; if the rotation speed of the main shaft 3 is less than 30r / min, on the one hand, it affects the expansion joint forming efficiency of the tantalum liner 6; on the other hand, the surface roughness of the expansion joint after forming is also relatively poor.

[0104] In the present embodiment, the radial feed speed of the blade 2-6 is set to 0.4mm / min to 0.6mm / min because if the radial feed speed of the blade 2-6 is less than 0.4mm / min, on the one hand, it affects the expansion joint forming efficiency of the tantalum liner 6; on the other hand, the surface roughness of the expansion joint after forming is also relatively poor; if the radial feed speed of the blade 2-6 is greater than 0.6mm / min, the surface quality of the expansion joint after forming is poor, the power consumption is large, and the blade 2-6 is easy to wear.

[0105] In summary, the present invention has a simple structure and a reasonable design. The tantalum bellows expansion joint can be stably processed and manufactured using a lathe. The operation is convenient, the production cost is low, and the invention is easy to promote and use.

[0106] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any way. Any simple modification, change and equivalent structural change made to the above embodiment based on the technical essence of the present invention still falls within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
