摘要:
Method for reducing the diameter of an end portion (4a) on a cylindrical end side portion (4) of a hollow bar (1A), said hollow bar having on its other end side portion (3) a rack formed with an end rack tool (2a,2b) at both ends. In said bar (1A), a depression (12,15) is also provided between each end rack tooth (2a,2b) and a corresponding adjoining portion (11,14) of said end side portion (3) having an inclined portion (11a,14a) opposing the tooth side face of the corresponding end rack tooth (2a,2b) and continuous to each of the both ends of the rack (2). First, the one end side portion (3) is nipped by means of a jig (21) including a jig member (22) having a pair of convex portions (25) which are to be fitted inside said depressions to position the bar (1A), and a jig member (28) which is to be clamped/opened with respect to the jig member (22). After that, a compression die (31) having an inside diameter smaller than the diameter of the outer periphery is pressed onto the outer periphery of the end portion (4a) of the cylindrical end side portion (4) projected from the jig (21) up to a press-in depth M determined preliminarily based on the rack (2), so as to reduce the diameter of the end portion (4a).
