Blanking Process

In this paper, we present a comprehensive experimental study on the blanking process of thick wall metal tube. The tube used in experiment is GCr15 bearing steel with 56 mm in outer-diameter and 6.5 mm in wall-thickness. The experiment was conducted with an experimental blanking apparatus, which consists of fixed die, moving die and inner cores rod. Two blanking schemes, single punching and cross punching, are compared through experiment. The single punching scheme is realizable for tube blanking but the effect is not acceptable in recent stage. Cross scheme is a better choice for tube blanking as the surface roughness in blanking section can be greatly improved. In cross scheme, the first penetration depth is the key factor to final blanking quality. It was found through experiment that the adequate first penetration depth is around 60 percent of the wall thickness of the tube.

Blanking Process

Bearing steel tube blanking has application potential in bearing ring manufacturing. However, compared with sheet blanking, tube blanking has been rarely studied yet. In order to achieve an intensive understanding of the mechanism of the tube blanking process, an numerical simulation has been carried out by using the commercial software package DEFORM, which is capable of dealing with crack initiation and propagation of material. The McClintock criterion is adopted to estimate the crack initiation and propagation during blanking. Damage value of the criterion in simulation is decided with the experiment data of tension and compression test of GCr15 bearing steel. The blanking of the tube with 42 mm in outer diameter and 3 mm in thickness was simulated and the simulation was validated with experiment.

Scar Width

The graphite-MoS2 coated on GCr15 bearing steel is prepared through air spraying and its tribological performances are investigated experimentally. Then its coefficient of friction (COF) and wear scar width (WSW) are investigated through the MFT-5000 multifunction tribometer and other test equipments. The experimental results show that the addition of the graphite can effectively decrease the COF and narrow the WSW of the MoS2. There exists a critical applied load for wearing out the surface with the graphite-MoS2 coating. Moreover, there exists an optimal rotational speed of 500 rpm to decrease the COF and WSW of the GCr15 steel.

The mechanical properties of the extruded profiles depend on the final microstructure distribution in the extrusion process. To investigate the effect of the stain-rate and temperature on the microstructure distribution of the aluminum profiles, the aluminum profile with different wall thickness was studied by metallographic experiment and numerical simulation. The result showed that the distribution of fine equiaxed grain developed by the complete process of primary recrystallization and coarse grain developed by secondary recrystallization was consist with the distribution of temperature and strain-rate. The variation gradient of the strain-rate was the key factor which determines the distribution of microstructure in thick wall section. Compared with thick section, the higher strain-rate is the key factor that leads to secondary recrystallization, but lower temperature prevents complete process of recrystallization. in thin wall section.

Laminated Structures

A severe plastic deformation process, termed accumulative extrusion bonding (AEB), is conceived to steady-state bond metals in the form of multilayered tubes. It is shown that AEB can facilitate bonding of metals in their solid-state, like the process of accumulative roll bonding (ARB). The AEB steps involve iterative extrusion, cutting, expanding, restacking, and annealing. As the process is iterated, the laminated structure layer thicknesses decrease within the tube wall, while the tube wall thickness and outer diameter remain constant. Multilayered bimetallic tubes with approximately 2 mm wall thickness and 25.25 mm outer diameter of copper-aluminum are produced at 52% radial strain per extrusion pass to contain eight layers. Furthermore, tubes of copper-copper are produced at 52% and 68% strain to contain two layers. The amount of bonding at the metal-to-metal interfaces and grain structure are measured using optical microscopy. After detailed examination, only the copper-copper bimetal deformed to 68% strain is found bonded. The yield strength of the copper-copper tube extruded at 68% improves from 83 MPa to 481 MPa; a 480% increase. Surface preparation, as described by the thin film theory, and the amount of deformation imposed per extrusion pass are identified and discussed as key contributors to enact successful metal-to-metal bonding at the interface. Unlike in ARB, bonding in AEB does not occur at ~50% strain revealing the significant role of more complex geometry of tubes relative to sheets in solid-state bonding.

AbstractMonitoring pipe corrosion is one of the critical aspects in the well intervention. Such analysis is used to evaluate and justify any remedial actions, to prolong the longevity of the well. Typical corrosion evaluation methods of tubulars consist of multifinger caliper tools that provide high-resolution measurements of the internal condition of the pipe. Routinely, this data is then analyzed and interpreted with respect to the manufacture's nominal specification for each tubular. However, this requires assumptions on the outer diameter of the tubular may add uncertainty, and incorrectly calculate the true metal thicknesses. This paper will highlight cases where the integration of such tool and electromagnetic (EM) thickness data adds value in discovering the true condition of both the first tubular and outer casings.These case studies demonstrate the use of a multireceiver, multitransmitter electromagnetic (EM) metal thickness tool operating at multiple simultaneous frequencies. It is used to measure the individual wall thickness across multiple strings (up to five) and operates continuously, making measurements in the frequency domain. This tool was combined with a multifinger caliper to provide a complete and efficient single-trip diagnosis of the tubing and casing integrity. The combination of multifinger caliper and EM metal thickness tool results gives both internal and external corrosion as well as metal thickness of first and outer tubular strings.The paper highlights multiple case studies including; i) successfully detecting several areas of metal loss (up to greater than 32%) on the outer string, which correlated to areas of the mobile salt formation, ii) overlapping defects in two tubulars and, iii) cases where a multifinger caliper alone doesn't provide an accurate indication of the true wall thickness. The final case highlights the advantages of integrating multiple tubular integrity tools when determining the condition of the casing wall.Metal thickness tools operating on EM principles benefit from a slim outer diameter design that allows the tools to pass through restrictions which typically would prevent ultrasonic scanning thickness tools. Additionally, EM tools are unaffected by the type of fluid in the wellbore and not affected by any non-ferrous scale buildup that may present in the inside of the tubular wall. Combinability between complementary multifinger caliper technology and EM thickness results in two independent sensors to provide a complete assessment of the well architecture.

The Relationship

Rotary punching is a sheet metal blanking process which utilizes shearing tools fixed to a pair of rollers. The polyurethane pad is adopted as the die instead of rigid mold because it has the advantages of wide hardness range and high load-bear capacity. Due to the application of polyurethane pad, the surrounding region adjacent to the pierced hole will occur to plastically deform and deflect, which greatly differs from that in the conventional blanking. In this paper, the effects of blank material and thickness, polyurethane hardness, punch penetration depth on deformation behavior were mathematically analyzed and modeled, and then a series of experiments through varying process parameters were conducted to validate the relationship between process parameters and product quality. The degree of sample deflection was exactly measured by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that the deformed area varies with different blank elongations and increases with increasing blank thickness for a given material. When polyurethane pad with low hardness level is employed, it results in large area deformation and quality degradation. Moreover, the deflection degree around the hole edge becomes more severe along with punch penetration, but the penetration depth along blank thickness is not in proportion to the amount of punch advancement.
