ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a certain improvement in the method for connecting a pipe to a plate by high pressure welding. This basic method is one in which the pipe is inserted a certain distance into a bore provided in the plate and subsequently the material of the pipe is spread out over the wall surface defining the bore of the plate, under the influence of high pressure and with the aid of a mandrel disposed in the pipe.
The improvement provided by the invention basically comprises the steps of positioning within a cooperating punch and die set, the plate with an end section of the pipe inserted into the bore of the plate. The punch and die set have opposed aligned bores accommodating the extension therethrough of the pipe and a mandrel respectively. In addition the punch and die set generally confine the plate at the peripheral edge and opposite sides thereof, and are operable to apply compressive forces to the opposite sides of the plate. The mandrel is inserted into the pipe such a distance that the mandrel extends completely through the end section of the pipe and a free end of the mandrel is located within the pipe and within one of the aligned bores of the punch and die set.
Using the punch and die set, compressive forces are applied to the opposite sides of the plate, while the mandrel is inserted in the pipe, so as to deform the material of the plate in the region of the bore thereof and to deform the material of the pipe end section in the plate such that the plate material and pipe end section material are pressed against the mandrel. While maintaining these compressive forces, the mandrel is withdrawn from the pipe and out of the bore of the plate so as to spread out in the mandrel withdrawal direction, and over a boundary surface portion of the plate bore, the deformed pipe end section material and thereby form a welded joint.
