Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pipe inclination rolling method suitable for hot rolling a seamless steel pipe or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a hot rolling method for a seamless steel pipe, in the first step, a piercing process, a two-roll tilt rolling machine,
A so-called piercer is often used. The piercer has a plug arranged in a rolling region sandwiched by a pair of inclined rolls, and fixed shoes arranged on both sides of the rolling region to roll the material to be rolled.

Conventionally, as a method for determining the setting condition of the piercer, there are methods described in JP-A-59-44927 and JP-A-63-238908. These conventional piercer setting conditions are
Both are premised to have a fixed shoe.

[0004]

On the other hand, in the recent piercer, in order to prevent seizure between the shoe and the material, reduce the shoe flaw, and improve the drilling efficiency, a disc roll type guide shoe, a so-called disc shoe is used. Has been adopted.

However, none of the prior arts have explicitly proposed the setting conditions for a piercer having a disk shoe. For this reason, the piercer with a disc shoe uses the setting conditions that have been proposed on the premise of the fixed shoe, and depending on the positional relationship of the disc shoe, a biting failure (1st sticker) or a trailing edge failure may occur. (3rd sticker) occurs, or the shape of the raw pipe (outer diameter, wall thickness, uneven thickness ratio) deteriorates.

According to the present invention, in an inclined rolling mill having a disc shoe, the outer diameter, the wall thickness, the uneven thickness, and other shapes are good without causing misrolls such as a biting failure or a tail slipping failure, and an inner surface flaw is formed. The purpose is to produce a small number of blank tubes.

[0007]

According to the present invention, a plug is arranged in a rolling region sandwiched between a pair of inclined rolls, and
In the pipe tilt rolling method of arranging disc shoes on both sides of the rolling region and rolling the material to be rolled, the diameter of the material to be rolled is D _B , and the distance from the grip start position of the material to be rolled by the inclined roll to the plug tip is determined. X, the shoe interval at the plug tip position is H ₁ , and the roll interval at the wall thickness determining position is E
_t , where H _t is the shoe spacing at the wall thickness determining position, 1.0 ≤ H _t / E _t ≤1.4 0.2 ≤X / D _B ≤0.7 1.0 ≤H ₁ / D _B ≤1.3 is there.

[0008]

According to the present invention, there are the following actions (1) to (3). FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the specifications of the piercer setting. D _B is the billet diameter, E is the gorge (roll interval), and H is H.
₀ is the shoe interval, X is the distance from the 1st grip to the tip of the plug, L is the lead (advanced amount of the plug), KZ is the disc shoe tube axis position, H ₁ is the shoe interval at the plug tip position, D _p is the plug diameter, L _p is the effective plug length, that is, the distance from the plug tip to the wall thickness determining position, E _t is the roll interval at the wall thickness determining position, and H _t is the shoe space at the wall thickness determining position. Further, 1 is a material to be rolled, 2 is an inclined roll, 3
Is a plug and 4 is a disc shoe.

(1) 1.0 ≦ H _t / E _t ≦ 1.4 (see FIG. 1A). If H _t / E _t deviates from the above-mentioned appropriate value, the shape of the hollow room deteriorates (see FIG. 3).

If H _t / E _t <1.0, then H _t <E _t. Therefore, the shoe interval H _t becomes smaller than the roll interval E _t at the wall thickness determining position, and the shoes are rolled by the rolls. Therefore, the rolling becomes unstable. As a result, misrolls frequently occur, the shape of the hollow room deteriorates, and internal defects occur.

If H _t / E _t > 1.4, the shape of the hollow chamber at the position where the wall thickness is determined becomes remarkably elliptical, and the hugging force from the shoe becomes small, so that the perforation becomes unstable.
Therefore, the shape of the hollow room, in particular, the uneven thickness ratio of the cross section is significantly deteriorated.

(2) 0.2 ≦ X / D _B ≦ 0.7 (see FIG. 1B). When X / D _B <0.2, defective biting is likely to occur and X / D
_{When B} > 0.7, rash-like inner surface defects frequently occur on the inner surface of the holove room.

When X / D _B <0.2, the advanced amount of the plug (lead L) is relatively large, so that the billet collides with the tip of the plug in a state where the Mannesmann effect is not sufficiently exerted, resulting in defective biting. It is easy to become.

When X / D _B > 0.7, the amount of advanced plug (lead L) is relatively small, so that excessive cracking due to the Mannesmann effect occurs inside the billet, and internal flaws easily occur. .

(3) 1.0 ≦ H ₁ / D _B ≦ 1.3 (see FIG. 1C). If H ₁ / D _B <1.0, biting failure occurs and H ₁ / D
_{If B} > 1.3, it is easy to cause a slip-out defect.

If H ₁ / D _B <1.0, then H ₁ <D _B
Since the shoe spacing H ₁ at the tip of the plug is smaller than the billet diameter D _B , the billet collides with the shoe before being sufficiently pressed by the roll, resulting in frequent biting failure (FIG. 1 (C)). See section A).

If H ₁ / D _B > 1.3, the shoe spacing H ₁ at the plug tip becomes too large, so that the billet restraint force during perforation is small and the propulsive force from the roll acting on the billet is small. Become. On the other hand, when the contact length between the roll and billet becomes shorter at the end of drilling, the driving force also becomes smaller,
Perforation becomes unstable. Therefore, if H ₁ is excessively large, the propulsive force at the final stage of perforation becomes excessively small, and the trailing edge failure frequently occurs.

When the setting ranges of (1) to (3) above are illustrated,
It becomes like FIG. 2 (A) and (B). If it is set within this range, high quality products with less misroll can be obtained.

Needless to say, the above-mentioned setting is valid not only when the barrel type inclined roll is used but also when the cone type inclined roll is used.

EXAMPLES Using the outer diameter 110mm billet (first embodiment) SUS304, so that the _{H t / E t = 1.31 X} / D B = 0.63 H 1 / D B = 1.25, gorge, lead etc. Set, wall thickness 10 mm,
Drilled into a hollow room with an outer diameter of 110 mm.

As a result of perforation, the occurrence rate of misroll was 0%, the occurrence rate of inner surface defects was as low as 4.3% (conventional method 13.7%), and the uneven thickness ratio of the cross section was 8% or less.

[0022] Using the outer diameter 175mm billet (second embodiment) 13% Cr steel, so that _{H t / E t = 1.09 X} / D B = 0.44 H 1 / D B = 1.06, gorge, lead Etc., the wall thickness is 18 mm,
A hollow chamber with an outer diameter of 186 mm was drilled.

As a result of perforation, the occurrence rate of misrolls was 0%, the occurrence rate of inner surface defects was 1.8% (conventional method 4.6%), and the uneven thickness ratio of the cross section was 6% or less.

[0024]

As described above, according to the present invention, in an inclined rolling mill having a disc shoe, the outer diameter, the wall thickness, the uneven thickness, etc. can be obtained without causing misrolls such as defective biting and defective slip-out. It is possible to manufacture a raw tube having a good shape and having few inner surface defects.
