Hardening is accomplished by heating a longitudinal section of a workpiece such as an odd-shaped bar, and by quenching while constraining the workpiece section in dies. The quenching is executed while the workpiece is pressed in a direction perpendicular to its longitudinal direction by a pressing device which is installed adjacent to the workpiece section constrained in the dies. Warping by quenching can thus be minimized in odd-shaped workpieces, such as an automobile steering rack bar.
摘要:
This invention provides a method and apparatus for quenching a tubular workpiece such as cylindrical tubes or different-shaped tubes, which are difficult to be exerted constraining force for preventing warping especially in case of thinner thickness. Warping is prevented by applying a constraining force which is increased from beginning of the quenching to termination thereof, corresponding to increase of elasticity limit stress in accordance with temperature drop of the workpiece. Furthermore, apparatus for carrying out the method for quenching a tubular workpiece are offered, wherein the apparatus are provided with a pressure controller for pressure rolls or dies, thereby the pressure controller changes setting input for the pressure during the quenching.

An apparatus for manufacturing a core wire for use in laying optical fibers over a long distance produces a plurality of continuous corrugated deep grooves in a wire that are capable of holding therein the optical fibers longitudinally along the peripheral surface of the wire. An endless raw wire material of circular cross section is formed by the apparatus into a wire of square cross section through plastic processing and thereafter the wire is formed into a core wire of a flower patterned cross section with a plurality of petals having corrugated deep grooves in the periphery thereof continuously longitudinally thereof through a rolling device. In addition, the core wire so constructed is formed into a core wire with spiral corrugated deep grooves formed in the peripheral surface thereof. The rolling means has forming rolls equal in number to the number of ridges of the square wire, and each such roll having two perfect corrugated convex portions formed widthwise on the peripheral surface thereof. All the peripheral surfaces of the forming rolls are directed to a point on the wire travelling path, whereby each ridge of the wire is positioned between the two convex portions of each roll. The torsion processing device advantageously has a freely rotatable rim arranged for taking the core wire travelling path as a tangential line, and the rim is rotatable on the contact point between the core wire travelling path and the rim itself perpendicularly to the surface thereof to permit the core wire to be turned around the peripheral surface thereof.

Apparatus and method for forming a reinforcing cage for a prestressed concrete pile, in which the cage includes a set of main steel bars arranged in a circular pattern and an auxiliary wire which is helically wound around and welded at its crossings with the steel bars, that prevents any crossings from being welded when the current for welding is either insufficient in magnitude or not present and that prevents any unwelded crossings from being subsequently tempered.

Steel bars are continuously fed along an inclined path in a direction transverse to the bar axes, are separated one from another by a separator and are then supplied by a roller conveyor to an axial interval regulating station. From this station one steel bar after another is supplied in the axial direction with regular intervals between the bars by means of sets of pinch rollers which are provided at specific intervals and which can be separately dislocated out of the path of movement of the bars and by means of a rod and a spacer fitted to the tip of a swing rod pivotally connected to the rod. Steel bars are thus delivered at regular intervals to a coating station and thereat have the entire lengths thereof, except the threaded end portions thereof, coated with a coating layer of asphalt, epoxy resin or grease by a coating device including a fixed outer nozzle and a movable inner nozzle. Thereafter, the coated bars are sent to a taping station, whereat the entire lengths of the bars, including the coating layers, are tightly wrapped by a thermo-shrinking tape by means of a tape unwinder, a tape guide roller, a tape guide pipe and a welder. Then, with movement of the steel bars, the tubular tape portion is heated by a heater, whereupon the tubular tape shrinks, thereby closely fitting around the steel bar surface including the coating layer. Thus, plural steel bars are continuously axially connected and integrated by the tape. The thus axially connected steel bars are then moved to a cutting station by a special caterpillar whose grip distance can be adjusted to the diameter of the steel bar to be transported. At the cutting station a cutter which acts on a signal issued from a photoelectric detector cuts the hollow tubular tape portion between adjacent connected steel bars. The thus separated bars are supplied to a discharge station, whereat they are discharged from the axial path to a specified location.

In a method of producing hollow rack bars from steel tubes for use in steering equipment for automobiles and so on, a part of the length of the steel tube to be processed and its adjacent parts is held in split dies that encircle a whole circumference of the tube except for the dies having a hole coinciding with the part of the tube to be processed. Then, a punch is inserted into the hole in a closed state of the dies for flattening a part of the tube, and then mandrels are pushed into the tube for ironing from the inside to form a rack pattern, when a rack forming die is inserted into the hole and held in contact with the flattened part of the tube.
