Method and apparatus for heat treating large thick-walled tubes in which the tubes are heated in two stages respectively involving flame and induction heating to austenitic conversion temperature, the stock being subsequently quenched.
Method and apparatus for heat treating large thick-walled tubes in which the tubes are heated in two stages respectively involving flame and induction heating to austenitic conversion temperature, the stock being subsequently quenched.
Description
This invention concer~.s a method of and apparatus or installation for heat treating lar~e tubes 9 and more specificall~ thick walled tubes.
It is common practice i~ the heat treatment or tempering of tube~, and particularly o~ large tubes 9 to heat the stock to austQnitic conversion temperature and ~uench by applying a quenching medium to the inner and outer surfaces of the tubes. Heat is applied either inductiYely or b~ ~eans of gas burners. These conventional methods are rather complicated and expensive and frequently it is not possible to control the commencement of cooling. :
It is an object of this in~entîon to provide a method of and apparatus or installation for heat treating or :;
tempering laree tubes which allow~ controlled treatment to be applied particularly to thick-walLed tubes i~ a simple and .
economic manner.
According to the in~ention, a method ~f heat-treati.ng tubes and particularly thick-walled tubes, comprises heating the itubes in two separate stages to austenitic conversion temperature, the first stage:involving flame heating at high e~ergy density up to approximately Curie Temperature~level and the second stage involving inductive heating to austenitic.
conversion temperature at low fre~uency for a duration which corre~pond~ at least to the ~ime requlre~ for temperature equali3ation and temperabure increase, the stoc~ then being ~ uenched.
From another aspect of the invention apparatus for carrying out the aforesaid method comprises transporting means for the tube, an annular burner device arranged forwardly of said air pipe which closely and concentrically surrou~ds the tube to be heated and comprises burner noz~les pointing in the direction towards the air pipe an inductive heatsr device arranged in succe~sion with the annular burner ~nd immediat~l~ succeeded by an exterior ring spra~.
. ~ .
The advantage~ of the method of this in~ention re~ide in the combination of the economically favourable flame-heating method with an even and uniform temperature equalisation process, particularl~ for thick-walled stock, obtained inductively at low frequency with the resulting pre~ention of temperature differential~ across the thickness of the tube walls during heat treatment.

Claims (3)
PROPERTY OR PRIVILEGE IS CLAIMED ARE DEFINED AS FOLLOWS:
1. A method of heat treating large tubes, comprising heating the tubes in two separate stages to austenitic conversion temperature, the first stage involving flame heating at high energy density up to approximately Curie Temperature level and the second stage involving inductive heating to austenitic conversion temperature at low frequency for a duration which corresponds at least to the time required for temperature equalisation and temperature increase, the stock then being quenched.
2. A method of heat treating large tubes according to Claim 1, wherein the flame-heating process is applied by the opposite draft or counterflow method with the tube set in rotation.
3. Apparatus for performing the method according to Claim 1 or Claim 2, wherein an air exhaust or outlet pipe is provided concentric with the tube being treated and comprising transporting means for the tube, an annular burner device arranged forwardly of said air pipe which closely and concentri-cally surrounds the tube to be heated and comprises burner nozzles pointing in the direction towards the air pipe an inductive heater device arranged in succession with the annular burner and immediately succeeded by an exterior ring spray.
