Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a connecting rod having both enhanced strength and thin structure by applying carburization-and-quenching to the entire surface of a connecting-rod raw material made up of case hardening steel and applying tempering to a part of a lever part connecting the large-end-portion and the small-end-portion together with correcting this tapered part, thereby removing the deformation of the connecting rod. CONSTITUTION:A connecting-rod raw-material 10 is formed by forging a case hardening steel. Carburization-and-quenching is applied to the entire surface of the connecting-rod raw-material. Tempering is applied only to the surface layer of the correction part 16 in order to soften this part, while the hardness of the core portion of the correction part 16 is kept the same as that of the non-tempered part. The deformation of the correction part 16 of the connecting-rod raw-material is corrected through, for example, the press working, taking the end surfaces 18 of the large end part 11 and the small end part 12 as the reference surface. Lastly, the inside surface 20 is polished. With this contrivance, it becomes possible to apply the carburization-and-quenching to the entire surface of the connecting-rod raw-material 10, thereby enhancing the strength and thinning the wall thickness of the connecting-rod, compared with the conventional rod.
