A manufacturing method includes shearing or cutting an elongated rod blank from bar stock, forge-forming a through hole in the rod blank that extends longitudinally through opposing ends of the rod blank, forge-forming a radially-extending collar on the rod blank between the opposing ends, forming attachment holes in the radially-extending collar, and extruding bearing bores in each of the recesses to form a main spindle housing. Bearings are supported in forged recesses at each end, and a shaft is rotatably supported on the bearings. The spindle housing includes a rod portion and collar both forged from the rod blank for work-hardened strength of material, and includes attachment holes and the through hole formed by pressing out slugs of material, thus facilitating recycling of scrap. |

A method for cold-forming a nozzle for a laser includes placing a slug or tube of oxygen-free copper into a die. A mandrel is forced into the copper slug or tube. The resultant compressive force causes the copper to cold flow around the mandrel and the die to define an inner shape and an outer dimension of the part. |

A high pressure fuel injection tube includes a connection head with a seat face in a spherical shape. A ring-like flange is spaced from the seat face in an axial direction. A conical portion is formed in the interval between the ring-like flange and the seat face. An undercut bent recess groove with a ring-like shape and a deep depth is formed on the conical portion. Thus, a shallow smooth ring-like recess groove is formed on an inner side of the connection head, and a compressive residual stress is present at an inner peripheral face of the ring-like groove. |

A section of heat treated solid steel rod receives a phosphate solution treatment and is inserted into a blind cavity of a first die member within a cold forging press. A punch is forced axially into the rod section in successive steps to cold-forge a first bore and a tubular first end portion of a coupler body. A second end portion of the coupler body is also cold-forged in successive steps after treatments and is either reduced in diameter to receive external threads or is formed with a second bore. Each of the first and second bores receives an end portion of a concrete reinforcing bar after which the tubular end portion of body is compressed or swaged inwardly to secure the body to the reinforcing bar. The second bore may also be machined with internal threads for receiving the external threads on another coupler. |

A forging method which enables formation of a hollow part by simple processes. In a cutting process, a cylinder blank 1 is cut at the upsetting ratio of L/Dnull1.5-2.0. In a first process, the cylinder blank 1 is upset in accordance with the outer shape of a nut. The height h of a semi-manufactured product 2 should be lower than the height h of a final product 4. In a second process, dents 3a and 3b are formed on both sides by extrusion. The depth of the dents 3a should be deeper than the other. The height of the semi-manufactured product 3 in the second process should be as tall as the height of the final product 4. In a third process, piercing is performed to the bottom portion of the deeper dent 3a so that both dents 3a and 3b can communicate. |

A tool for removing damaged fasteners and a method for making such tool wherein the tool (10) includes a first end (12) and a second end (14) with an outside surface (32) and an inside surface (40) defined between ends (12) and (14). A portion (46) of inside surface (40) is in the shape of an hexagonal frustum (54) that has a major end (58) and that includes spiral splines (25). Splines (25) have constant depth between the major end (58) and the minor end (56) of frustum (54) and the relief angle (£) of splines (25) decreases in the direction from minor end (56) toward major end (58). In the method for making the tool (10), a tubular section (118) is made from a tapered blank (91) by piercing one end of the tapered blank with a pierce punch (132). One end of the tubular section is then driven onto a splined punch (162) to provide splines in one end of the tubular section. The tubular section is then stripped off of the punch (162) by a kick-out sleeve (166) and extruded through a round-to-hexagonal extrusion insert (182) to provide portion (46) of the inner surface (40) with a tapered, hexagonal shape. |

The present invention relates to a pressing method for obtaining hydraulic cylinders and high-pressure filters, using a semifinished product consisting of a cylindrical part having a blind hole at one end and suitably treated by means of a first chemical surface treatment. The method comprises a first step in which positioning of the semifinished product in a die is performed, followed by a first pressing operation using a first punch acting over part of the depth of said blind hole, so as to define a first machined zone, followed by a second step consisting of first sizing of said first machined zone using a second reverse-profile punch, so as to define a second machined zone. A third step of performing a second chemical surface treatment, followed by a fourth step of pressing of said second machined zone using a third punch, so as to obtain a third machined zone with a desired thickness, and a fifth step of sizing of said third machined zone using a fourth punch, so as to define a flat contact zone. |

A method for forming a one-piece steering shaft member, such as an externally splined male steering shaft member (or yoke shaft) or an internally splined female steering shaft member (or slip yoke) is disclosed. A hollow cylindrical tube is initially provided which is preferably formed from a blank of a metallic material, such as aluminum, having an elongation factor of at least fifteen percent. It is desirable that the tube have a uniform wall thickness and define an outer diameter which is substantially uniform along the length thereof. The outer diameter of one end of the tube is reduced from its original diameter while the outer diameter of the opposite end is maintained at its original diameter. A splined surface is formed in the reduced diameter end portion of the tube. The splined surface is formed on the external surface of the yoke shaft and on the internal surface of the slip yoke. A yoke member is then formed in the opposite end of the tube. In one embodiment, the opposite end of the tube is first deformed so as to provide a generally hollow rectangular cross sectional shape. Generally U-shaped portions of material are removed from two of the opposed sides of the hollow rectangular end of the tube to form a pair of opposed yoke ears adapted for use in a universal joint. In a second embodiment, the opposite end is maintained in its original hollow cylindrical shape and is machined to form the opposed yoke arms. In both embodiments, a bore is formed through each of the yoke ears. |
