Abstract:
The present invention relates to a steering rack bar, which is one of the important parts for transferring steering force to wheels, when a steering wheel is turned for the steering in an automobile, and more particularly, to a method of manufacturing a steering rack bar for an automobile, which can manufacture the steering rack bar more simply and efficiently, thereby achieving lightness of the steering rack, and a steering rack bar manufactured thereby. The method of manufacturing the steering rack bar for the automobile according to the present invention comprises the steps of cutting a prepared hollow tubular material 10 into a desired length; primarily extruding the cut material to have a desired maximum diameter in the whole; secondary extruding the extruded material so that only a gear portion 14 for forming a rack gear 13 is extruded to reduce an outer diameter thereof thereof; tertiarily extruding one side of the gear portion 14 for forming a plane portion 15; forming a rack gear 13 at the gear portion 14 through a broach working or a hot forging; performing a heat-treatment on the worked rack gear 13 to thereby improve a hardness; and grinding the entire outer diameter of the steering rack bar to make a surface thereof to be neat, and the like.
