Problems solved by technology

At present, only nickel-titanium alloy pipes with large sizes can be produced in China, and the dimensional tolerance cannot be effectively controlled, and the use is limited. The market for nickel-titanium alloy capillary tubes is basically blank, mainly relying on imports, but the import channels are not smooth and the cost is high.
In China, the processing method of nickel-titanium alloy pipe mainly adopts multi-pass cold rolling and intermediate vacuum annealing, which has low process efficiency, high cost and low yield

Abstract

The invention discloses a continuous hot-drawing forming method for a nickel-titanium alloy pipe. The continuous hot-drawing forming method comprises the following steps: 1, inserting a core rod into a nickel-titanium alloy pipe blank to obtain a combined body; 2, drawing the combined body by adopting a continuous hot-drawing forming device; 3, repeating the step 2; 4, heating the drawn combined body, then plastically stretching the core rod in the combined body to reduce the diameter of the core rod, and finally taking out the diameter-reduced core rod to obtain the nickel-titanium alloy pipe. According to the method, due to induction heating, the heating speed is high; continuous hot-drawing can be realized by continuous heating, so that the production efficiency is improved; furthermore, a work hardening state on the surface of the pipe can be effectively reduced in a heat treatment stage by virtue of a skin effect of current; the subsequent plastic processing of materials is facilitated. A graphite pipe is adopted as the continuous hot-drawing forming device used in the method, and can preserve the heat of the materials and realize a lubricating function; therefore, the phenomenon that the surface of the pipe is scratched during the axial stretching motion in a furnace pipe can be effectively avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nickel-titanium alloy pipe material processing, and in particular relates to a continuous hot drawing method for nickel-titanium alloy pipe material. Background technique [0002] Nickel-titanium alloy capillaries are widely used in aerospace, medical and civil industries. Nitinol tubing is a difficult profile to machine. In 1963, the U.S. Naval Ordnance Research Office discovered the shape memory effect and superelastic properties of nickel-titanium alloys. Since then, the plastic forming of nickel-titanium alloys has been a hot and difficult point in the field of plastic processing in various countries, especially the processing technology of conventional pipes and special pipes of nickel-titanium alloys. Nickel-titanium alloy pipes are used in the connection, fastening and driving elements of aerospace liquid pipe joints, biomedical catheters and vascular stents, satellite space truss connection slee...
