b. annealing treatment;
c. lubricating the blank by using an FM-4 water-based polymer lubricant;
d. cold heading preformed cone blank: a room temperature cold heading method is adopted to preliminarily perform blanks according to the tooth taper angle of the bevel gear shaft and the shape of the shaft step, and a foundation is laid for the next step of near-net forming of the bevel gear and the step shaft;

The precise near-net forming device comprises an upper combined bevel gear die, a lower combined step shaft die, a reinforced base plate and an ejection limiting block which are sequentially arranged from top to bottom; the upper combined bevel gear die comprises a bevel gear core die, a core die fastening sleeve and a core die reinforced reinforcing sleeve which are sequentially sleeved together from inside to outside; the lower combined step shaft die is formed by combining a step shaft die, a step shaft die sleeve and a step shaft die fixing ring which are sequentially sleeved together in an interference fit manner from inside to outside; the reinforced base plate consists of an inner reinforced plate and an outer plate which are sleeved together in an interference fit manner; the ejection limiting block is composed of an ejection rod and a limiting block which are sleeved together from inside to outside, and the upper end of the ejection rod vertically extends upwards to the die cavity of the step shaft die through the central through hole of the inner reinforcing plate.
The upper part of the bevel gear core mold is reserved with the ventilating and shunting holes which can ensure that the bevel gear is full of tooth form and facilitate shunting of redundant metal, and can effectively improve the stress distribution condition of the mold, so that the service life of the bevel mold can be greatly prolonged; the diameter of the ventilation diversion hole can be neither large nor small, so that metal is large and easy to flow into the hole, and the bevel gear is not full; too small will increase the deformation resistance of the metal and cause cracking of the mold. The diameter D = 0.15-0.2D (bevel gear large end diameter) of the tap hole is empirically considered to be suitable.
In the apparatus of the present invention, the reinforcing mat composed of the inner reinforcing plate and the outer plate is distinguished from the conventional mat.

The cold-heading preformed cone blank in the invention is different from a hot-die forging preformed blank. The hot die forging is mostly performed by machining, turning and blanking. The burrs of the blank need special treatment, and a large amount of lathes, knives, measuring tools, manpower and the like are needed. Hot forging also employs a hot forged preform but the surface scale must be removed. The process adopts a room temperature cold heading method, and performs blanks preliminarily according to the tooth taper angle of the bevel gear shaft and the shape of the shaft step, thereby laying a foundation for next near-net forming of the bevel gear and the step shaft.
The molybdenum disulfide lubrication in the invention refers to that molybdenum disulfide powder and engine oil are uniformly stirred according to a certain proportion and placed in a small container, an oil press operator manually sticks molybdenum disulfide on the surface of a preformed cone blank and directly places the preformed cone blank into a near-net forming die for forming, large-scale heating, rust removal and lubrication processes are not needed, but the purposes of reducing friction resistance and improving the surface finish of a workpiece are achieved. Because the polymer lubricant in the previous lubricating process is still adhered to the surface of the cone blank, the molybdenum disulfide lubricating process is secondary supplement of the lubricant, so that the complicated conventional lubrication is omitted, and the lubricating oil is convenient to operate, energy-saving, pollution-free and good in effect.
