Conventionally, in hot forging of a valve umbrella portion of a hollow engine valve, poor finish accuracy has been provided, and in cold forging thereof, materials which can be used have been restricted. In addition, in the cold forging and the known hot forging, the number of steps for drawing is increased, which requires a large number of steps for intermediate heating processes such as annealing, with the result that the poor workability has been obtained. In view of this, a semi-finished product having a hollow and an expansion diameter portion is manufactured in advance (first step), and a press device for folding an outer cylinder (4) and an inner cylinder (5) around an entire die set (DS) is used, thereby performing drawing with a body of the semi-finished product as the center in a constant temperature atmosphere at any temperature between a room temperature and 870°C (second step).

Disclosed is a method--for producing an engine valve (V) filled with metallic sodium (Na) within by means of: forming a stem section (S), which has a hollow section (H), at an intended size by successively drawing the stem section (S) using dies (D1, D2, Dx, Dx+1, Dn) in a manner so as to causing the size of the outer diameter and the inner diameter of the stem section (S) to contact in a stepwise fashion; and inserting metallic sodium (Na) into the hollow section (H) of the stem section (S)--wherein after drawing the stem section (S) until the inner diameter of the hollow section (H) of the stem section (S) has become a prescribed size (steps S11-S15) and then inserting the block-shaped solid metallic sodium (Na) into the hollow section (H) of the stem section (S) (step S16), the stem section (S) is further drawn (steps S17 and S18).

Forming of a valve head portion (1) of a hollow engine valve (V) comprising a material particularly satisfactory in heat resistance is performed by cold forging. On this occasion, the material with excellent heat resistance is worked to form a valve head portion semifinished product (11) having a hollow hole (Sll) whose inner diameter (Æ11) is equal to the maximum inner diameter (Æ 11) of a hollow hole (Sl) of a finished product of the valve head portion (1), and having a diameter-increased section (111) whose maximum outer diameter (Æ 12) is equal to the maximum outer diameter (Æ12) of a diameter-increased section (la) of the finished product. Parts of the valve head portion semifinished product other than a central part to a lower part of the diameter-increased section (111) are necked down by cold forging performed a plurality of times to obtain the finished product of the valve head portion (1). This method of obtaining the finished product is provided by the present invention.

Provided is a method for producing an engine valve (V) by subjecting a stem portion (S) having a hollow part (H) to a drawing treatment using a series of dies (D1, D2, Dx, Dx+1, Dn) such that the outer diameter and inner diameter of the stem portion (S) become smaller in steps and the stem portion (S) is thereby molded to the desired size, whereby, after the stem portion (S) has been subjected to the drawing treatment until the inner diameter of the hollow part (H) of the stem portion (S) has reached a specific size (steps S11 to S15), sodium metal (Na) in the form of a solid block is introduced to the hollow part (H) of the stem portion (S) (step 16-1), and a protective agent(P) made from solid paraffin or naphthalene is also introduced to the hollow part (H) of the stem portion (S) such as to form a barrier between the sodium metal (Na) and the atmosphere (step S16-2), after which the stem portion (S) is further subjected to a cold drawing treatment (steps S17, S18).
