Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hot-rolled seamless steel pipes, and in particular to a hot-rolling forming tool for thick-walled hexagonal steel pipes capable of improving corner forming quality. Background Art

[0002] Hexagonal steel tubes are used in construction fields such as steel structure, machinery manufacturing, and building frame construction. Currently, the forming processes of hexagonal steel tubes include hot rolling forming, cold drawing forming, and extrusion forming and welded square tube process. The cold drawing forming process has the defects of many steps, small deformation per pass, long production cycle and low forming efficiency. The welded hexagonal tube process uses hot-rolled strip steel as raw material, and is formed by multiple extrusion passes and welding. No heat treatment is performed during the entire process, and the stress generated during the extrusion forming process cannot be eliminated. For the welded hexagonal tube process, the cold-bent hexagonal steel tubes produced by this forming method, except for the limited area of ​​the bending angle, the material properties of the remaining parts of the tube body are basically similar to those of the parent body. In particular, the closure of the weld seam is not ideal, the forming process is unstable, and it is difficult to obtain high-quality products.

[0003] Hot-rolled seamless hexagonal tubes are suitable for mass production and have high production efficiency. Hot-rolled hexagonal steel tubes can destroy the casting structure of the steel ingot, refine the grains of the steel, and eliminate the defects of the microstructure, thereby making the steel structure denser and greatly improving the mechanical properties. However, during the hot rolling process, hexagonal steel tubes are prone to low forming accuracy, especially the problem of many corner forming defects. The defects include: asymmetry and fullness problems of corner forming, forming limit and internal corner cracking. If hot-rolled seamless steel tubes are used as billets, the forming efficiency of hot-rolled seamless hexagonal steel tubes can be greatly improved. However, how to improve the overall forming accuracy of the hexagonal steel tubes during hot rolling, especially to improve the quality of their corner forming, has become a difficult problem that needs to be solved on site.
