Detailed description of the preferred embodiments
< Structure of club head >)
Fig. 1 is a front view of a golf club head according to the present embodiment. Further, fig. 2 is a sectional view a-a of fig. 1.
The golf club head of the present embodiment is a club head 1 of an iron golf club.
The head 1 is formed by forging using low carbon steel (so-called soft iron) of JIS standard S30C or less (e.g., S25C) as a raw material. As shown in fig. 1, the club head 1 has a hosel portion 2 into which a shaft is inserted, and a body portion 3 having a face 3 a.
The face 3a is provided with: a plurality of grooves 3b arranged substantially horizontally in a state where a user is ready to hit a ball, and recessed from the face 3 a; and a plurality of protrusions 3c that are respectively disposed between two grooves 3b adjacent to each other among the plurality of grooves 3b and protrude from the face 3 a. In the head 1 of the present embodiment, three linear protrusions 3c arranged in parallel with the grooves 3b are provided at equal intervals between two adjacent grooves 3 b. As shown in fig. 2, the depth of each groove 3b from the face 3a is set to be greater than 25 μm, and the projection amount H of each projection 3c from the face 3a is set to be 25 μm or less (for example, 20 μm).
< method for manufacturing club head 1 >)
A method of manufacturing the club head 1 of the present embodiment will be described. The club head 1 of the present embodiment is formed by forging as described above.
In the present embodiment, the club head 1 is molded by forging a round bar of soft iron using a die.
Therefore, as shown in fig. 3, first, a mold (not shown) for molding the club head 1 by forging is manufactured (mold preparation step S1). The mold is composed of, for example, an upper mold and a lower mold divided vertically, and when the upper mold and the lower mold are closed, a space equal to the outer shape of the head is formed inside. Either the upper mold or the lower mold has a face forming portion forming the face, the face forming portion being formed with a groove forming protrusion for forming the groove 3b, and a linear recess for forming the protrusion 3 c.
Next, the soft iron round bar is heated to a predetermined temperature (for example, 1000 degrees or higher), placed on a concave portion of the lower die that is formed in the contour of the club head, and the upper die is lowered from above (forging step S2). At this time, the upper and lower molds are closed without a gap, and the material is brought into close contact with the space in the mold to mold the head 1. By this forging process, the grooves 3b and the protrusions 3c of the face 3a are formed simultaneously with the outer shape of the club head 1. The forging step S2 may include a plurality of forming steps, that is, a rough forging step of forming a round bar of soft iron into a state close to a final shape, and a finish forging step of forming the grooves 3b and the protrusions 3c as a final finish.
The forged club head 1 is subjected to a shot blasting step S3 of performing shot blasting for removing an oxide scale (oxide film); a plating step S4 for performing a plating process on the entire club head 1; after a treatment process such as a sandblasting process S5 is performed on the scribed region of the face 3a of the club head 1 where the grooves 3b and the protrusions 3c are provided, the club head 1 is completed. By blasting the scribe line region, the scribe line region after plating becomes clear, and the frictional force with the ball increases.
< Effect of the club head of the present embodiment >
According to the head 1 of the present embodiment, since the bulge portion 3c of 25 μm or less provided on the face 3a is formed by forging, the head 1 having the bulge portion 3c of 25 μm or less on the face 3a can be manufactured in a shorter time than in the case where the bulge portion is formed by CNC milling after the outer shape is formed. Therefore, the club head 1 having the bulge portion 3c of 25 μm or less on the face 3a and excellent in productivity can be provided.
Further, since the convex portion 3c of the club head 1 having a thickness of 25 μm or less is formed by forging, the surface after forging is not subjected to machining such as cutting. Therefore, the forging can provide higher strength than a club head manufactured by casting or the like, and since the surface having higher strength is not removed by machining or the like, a portion having higher strength can be left on the face 3a and the bulge portion 3c having a thickness of 25 μm or less. Therefore, the face 3a and the bulge 3c having a thickness of 25 μm or less can have high durability.
Further, since the grooves 3b having a depth of more than 25 μm are provided in the face 3a, a head that can more easily spin a ball by discharging water or the like from the face 3a such as rainwater can be provided. . Further, since the grooves 3b having a depth of more than 25 μm are formed by forging, they can be formed simultaneously with the projections 3 c. Therefore, the club head 1 having the grooves 3b with a depth of more than 25 μm on the face 3a can be manufactured in a shorter time. Therefore, the club head 1 having the face 3a with grooves having a depth of more than 25 μm, which can drain water and the like, and the bulge 3c having a depth of 25 μm or less, and having excellent productivity can be provided.
Further, by the linear convex portion 3c provided on the face 3a, since the continuous convex portion 3c is in contact with the ball, the club head 1 which can more easily rotate the ball can be provided. Further, since the linear projections 3c of 25 μm or less are arranged in parallel to the grooves 3b having a depth of more than 25 μm, the grooves 3b having a depth of more than 25 μm and the linear projections 3c of 25 μm or less act on the ball to rotate in the same direction. Therefore, the club head 1 which can more easily apply rotation can be provided.
In the above embodiment, the example in which the projections 3c provided between the grooves 3b are arranged parallel to the grooves 3b has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the projections 3c may be arranged orthogonal to the grooves 3b as shown in fig. 4(a), or the projections 3c may intersect the grooves 3b so as to be inclined with respect to the grooves 3b as shown in fig. 4(b) and 4 (c). In this case, regardless of the direction of the groove 3b having a depth of more than 25 μm, the linear convex portion 3c of 25 μm or less is formed along the predetermined direction, whereby the head 1 which can be more easily rotated in a desired direction can be provided. Fig. 4(a) to 4(f) show an enlarged view of a part of the face 3a, and show a convex portion 3c provided between two grooves 3b adjacent to each other.
The projections 3c of 25 μm or less are not necessarily continuous, and for example, the projections 3c of dots may be arranged in a line as shown in fig. 4(d) or may be arranged in a staggered manner as shown in fig. 4 (e). The linear projections 3c of 25 μm or less may not be linear, and the projections 3c may be curved as shown in fig. 4(f), for example. In this case, the club head 1 can be provided which can more easily spin the ball by the convex portion 3c provided on the face 3a of 25 μm or less and which is also excellent in design.
Further, since the projection amount H of the projection portion 3c is larger than that of the projection portion formed by the blast, it is possible to provide the club head 1 capable of clearly identifying the blast-treated region and the ball striking region in the face 3 a.
< Effect of the method for manufacturing a head of this embodiment >
According to the method of manufacturing the golf club head 1 of the present embodiment, by using the forging die having the recess with the depth of 25 μm or less in the portion where the face 3a is formed, the club head 1 having the bulge 3c with the depth of 25 μm or less and the groove 3b with the depth of more than 25 μm in the face 3a can be manufactured by the primary forging step S2. Therefore, it is possible to provide a method for manufacturing a golf club head 1 capable of manufacturing a club head having a bulge 3c of 25 μm or less and a groove 3b having a depth of more than 25 μm on a face 3a in a shorter time.
In addition to the above-described operational effects, the head 1 having the convex portion 3c formed by forging was confirmed to have high durability.
Fig. 5 is a graph showing the results of durability evaluation in the case of forming the projection portion by forging and the case of forming the projection portion by CNC milling.
In this evaluation, the states of the convex portions 3c, 3c ' after a 250-ball bunker hit was compared using the head 1 in which the convex portion 3c of 25 μm or less was formed on the face 3a by forging and the head 1 ' in which the convex portion 3c ' of the same shape was formed by CNC milling according to the method for manufacturing a golf club head of the present embodiment.
As shown in fig. 5, in the head 1 ' in which the convex portion 3c ' was formed by CNC milling, after the 250-ball bunker hit was performed, the convex portion 3c ' between the two grooves 3B ' was almost worn away, and the flat portion a without the convex portion 3c ' was seen, and in the head 1 in which the convex portion 3c was formed by forging, the portion B in which three convex portions 3c remained was clearly confirmed after the 250-ball bunker hit was performed. In this way, it can be confirmed that the durability of the bulging portion 3c of the head 1 of the above embodiment in which the bulging portion 3c is formed by forging is higher than that of the head 1 'in which the bulging portion 3 c' is formed by CNC milling.
Other embodiments
The above embodiments are merely provided to facilitate understanding of the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention. The present invention may be modified and improved within the scope not departing from the gist thereof, and the present invention naturally includes equivalents thereof.
