Patent number: 8070401Abstract: An improved centrifugally-cast tube is provided, along with a related method and apparatus of making the tube. The tube includes a plurality of grooves and bosses that are mechanically machined into an interior surface of the tube, such as by a broaching process. The profile of grooves and bosses may be defined by a plurality of intersecting concave and convex radii. The tube is resistant to creep, carburization and metal dusting. The tube also has an enhanced heat transfer rate, and a desirable surface roughness. A method of making the tube is also provided. The method essentially consists of mechanically deforming the interior surface of the tube by passing a series of cutting inserts on support rings having incrementally-differing dimensions over the interior surface.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2010Date of Patent: December 6, 2011Assignee: Manoir Industries, Inc.Inventors: Joel Demarest, Gilles Verdier

Publication number: 20100230083Abstract: A tube used in furnaces includes at least one attached radial bar fastened by welding to the internal face of the wall of the tube. A method of manufacturing such a tube includes at least one electron-beam of laser-beam welding step, in which at least one attached radial bar is welded, from outside the tube, to the internal face of the wall of the tube. The tubes may be used in reforming, steam-cracking or DRI furnaces.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2008Publication date: September 16, 2010Applicant: MANOIR INDUSTRIESInventors: Gilles Verdier, Pierre Emmanuel Nioche
