A method of manufacturing a spline shaft, comprising ironing a hollow stock by cold forging and forming splines in a desired portion of said hollow stock by cold forging by using its work harden state. This method makes it possible to reduce the weight of a product by using a hollow stock, and to prevent buckling of the material of the hollow stock during the formation of splines owing to work-hardening caused by the ironing. Further, a predetermined root strength can be ensured without requiring induction hardening. Accordingly, a reduction in weight is achieved, and the production speed and yield are improved. |

A method is provided for manufacturing common rails, such as a high-pressure fluid manifold or a block rail that may be use in an accumulator fluid injection system. The method includes providing a main tubular rail with a flow passage extending in an axial direction. A bottomed lower hole is formed generally transverse to the axial flow passage. A pressing force is applied to the bottomed lower hole to generate a residual compressive stress in a circumferential part of the end portion of the bottom hole. The bottom lower hole then is made to communicate with the flow passage in the main rail. Defects that may have been caused by the application of the pressing force then are cut off. The removal of the defects improves an internal pressure fatigue strength, achieves high durability and ensures freedom from leakage. |

In a method of producing a socket plate for wobble plate compressors an insert ring and a holed socket plate parent metal, having different mechanical and physical properties, are formed through extrusion processes prior to hot-forging the parent metal with the ring into a resulting socket plate. In the hot-forging step, the insert ring is seated onto the ring seat of a bottom mold prior to fitting the parent metal over the ring. Thereafter, a top mold is lowered onto the bottom mold, thus forming the resulting socket plate. A plurality of lubrication grooves are formed on the internal surface of the ring during the hot-forging step, with a plurality of projections being formed on the external surface of the ring. The projections bite into the inside wall of the holed parent metal thus integrating the ring with the parent metal into a single body. |
