6.5 Annealing of tube
DANGER!
The annealed work piece is extremely hot after annealing.
Protective gloves should be used when working with the tube.
1.
Heat the point of the tube where the tee will be formed until it is glowing
red.
2.
Allow the tube to cool. You can speed up the cooling process with water,
for example. The tube will retain its workability properties after
annealing even once the tube has cooled down.
3.
Drill a pilot hole into the tube.
4.
Start the tee-forming process.
NOTE!
Always lubricate the
T-DRILL
head before drilling and tee-forming.
NOTE! T-DRILL
recommends that tubes are annealed whenever the formed
outlet is as large as the tube itself. The tube should also be annealed if the
machine does not have sufficient power to form the tee.
NOTE!
Any burrs or lubricant left on the inner surface of the tee must be
removed from the tube before brazing.
NOTE!
The branch tube is joined to the run tube by brazing.
