Zusammenfassung: | A process and apparatus for upsetting pipe ends, in particular drill rod pipe ends forming tool joints. The pipe end is held in a bottom die of a press and a shoulder mandrel is axially driven into the pipe end by a ram thereby simultaneously upsetting and filling the empty space between the die and the pipe end. The process includes at least two steps. In a first step the pipe end is upset on the outside into a cylindrical pipe section of larger diameter and a defined conical transition region while the internal diameter remains unchanged. In a second step the upset pipe section is swaged inwardly by means of a swaging tool mounted on the ram of the press. |
