Caracterización de semielaborados de aleaciones de titanio procesadas por extrusión y laminación perforación (proceso Mannesmann)

ABSTRACTFor the manufacture of seamless pipes and tubes are used, as raw materials, hollow bars from hot deformation processes like extrusion and rotary tube piercing (Mannesmann process). Starting from these semi-elaborated products and by means of successive cross sections reductions through tube drawing or tube rolling (cold pilgering) the requested final dimensions are achieved. The rotary tube piercing process, Mannesmann process, includes drilling cylindrical billet through a progressive diametral compression that generates a crack at the center and facilitates perforation along the obli...
