Method for the production of a high-pressure accumulator pipe of steel for fuel injection systems and high-pressure accumulator pipe produced according to this method

摘要

In a method of making a high-pressure accumulator pipe as composite pipe of steel for pressures of up to 1800 bar and above with high static strength and fatigue strength for fuel injection systems with common rail systems for internal combustion engines, a first inner pipe part is inserted into a second outer pipe part with little clearance, and the inner pipe part is connected to the outer pipe part gap-free and by interference fit through mechanical forming. The mechanical forming includes a rolling-in process, wherein the inner pipe part is subjected to a ductile expansion and the outer pipe part is subjected to an elastic expansion using an oversized rolling tool that is moved within the inner pipe part, and wherein a residual compressive stress adjusted to the operating pressure is applied to the inner pipe part after the forming process via the elastic resilience of the outer pipe part.

1. A method of making a high-pressure accumulator pipe as composite pipe of steel for pressures of up to 1800 bar and above and exhibiting high static strength and fatigue strength for fuel injection systems with common rail systems for internal combustion engines, comprising the steps of:
inserting an inner pipe part into an outer pipe part with little clearance; and connecting the inner pipe part to the outer pipe part gap-free and by interference fit through mechanical forming by moving an oversized rolling tool within the inner piper part to thereby subject the inner pipe part to a ductile expansion and the outer pipe part to an elastic expansion wherein the inner pipe part is acted upon after the forming process by a residual compressive stress as the outer pipe part springs back.
