    摘要: An apparatus for manufacturing a rack bar includes a pre-forming machine forming a flattened portion on an outer peripheral surface of a hollow shaft member, a teeth forming machine forming rack teeth on the flattened portion, a heat treatment machine quenching the rack teeth, a first conveying machine carrying the shaft member into and from the pre-forming machine, a second conveying machine carrying the shaft member into and from the teeth forming machine, and a third conveying machine carrying the shaft member into and from the heat treatment machine. The first conveying machine, the second conveying machine, and the third conveying machine hold one end of the shaft member from a radially inner side of the shaft member. The apparatus of the rack bar are suitable for manufacturing a relatively short hollow rack bar having rack teeth formed over substantially an entire length of a shaft member.

    摘要: Methods for induction surface hardening of a ring surface of a work piece. The ring surface and a hardening device have an induction coil moved relative to one another in a treatment direction in a feed mode. A sprinkler located downstream of the induction coil in the direction of treatment serves to heat the ring surface, starting from an initial zone to a final zone, with the induction coil and then hardens it by cooling the ring surface with the sprinkler. An unhardened soft zone is provided between the initial zone and the end zone. The supplementary induction coil, the induction coil and the sprinkler are activated and deactivated separately at the start of hardening and at the end of hardening, respectively, the speed between the hardening device and the work piece and/or the power supplied to the supplementary induction coil and the induction coil varied at the same time.

    摘要: Provided is a high strength steel machine part. A method for manufacturing a machine part comprises the steps of: preparing a workpiece of steel to be a machine part; and subjecting the workpiece to a quenching process by heating a surface portion of the workpiece, with shear strain applied to the surface portion, to a heating temperature of an A3 transformation point temperature or higher, and subsequently cooling the surface portion. The workpiece has a carbon content of 0.2 mass % or more. In the step of subjecting the workpiece to a quenching process, the heating temperature is 800° C. or higher, and in the quenching process the workpiece has the surface portion cooled at a rate of 35° C./second or faster for a temperature range of 850° C. to 300° C.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for the induction surface hardening of a ring surface of a workpiece, the ring surface and a hardening device having an induction coil being moved relative to one another in a treatment direction in a feed mode. A sprinkler is located downstream of the induction coil when seen in the direction of treatment and serves to heat the ring surface, starting from an initial zone to a final zone, by means of the induction coil and then to harden it by cooling the ring surface by means of the sprinkler, an unhardened soft zone being provided between the initial zone and the end zone. According to the invention, the supplementary induction coil, the induction coil and the sprinkler are activated and deactivated separately from one another at the start of the hardening process and at the end of the hardening process, respectively, the speed between the hardening device and the workpiece and/or the power supplied to the supplementary induction coil and the induction coil being varied at the same time.
