A mandrel bar cooling zone with coolant damming limits rear-end overcooling, improving longitudinal temperature uniformity in seamless tube piercing.
Adjustable guide slides lock to fit different mandrel or driving bar diameters, cutting wear, tooling time, and maintenance in rolling mills.
Adjustable guide slides lock at preset positions to support mandrels and driving bars of different diameters with less wear and downtime.
Localized mandrel bar cooling and coolant damming keep hollow shell inner-surface temperature uniform during seamless pipe rolling.
Differential heat treatment hardens the piercer plug tip while keeping the trunk tough, reducing deformation, cracking, and coating peeling.
A tapered hole at the billet end spreads piercing stress in the Mannesmann process, reducing plug damage and inner tube surface flaws.
