DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of forging and forging a cylindrical part having a substantially spherical bulge at the center from a cylindrical blank.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in an automobile or the like, as shown in FIG.
A cylindrical part (1) having (7) is used. The applicant has previously proposed a manufacturing method capable of efficiently manufacturing the cylindrical part (1) by forging and forging to improve the stop of the material part and efficiently manufacture the cylindrical part (1).
(Japanese Patent Publication No. 8-18101).

[0003] The method of manufacturing the above cylindrical part is to drive a driving pin deep into a solid blank near the opposite end face of the blank to form a cylindrical member with a bottom. In the next step, a bottom portion of the cylindrical member with a bottom is formed. Is punched out to form a cylindrical member having both ends open, and the center of the cylindrical member is slightly expanded in the next step, and the center of the cylindrical member is expanded spherically in the final step.

[0004]

[PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED] Cylindrical parts obtained by the above method
In (1), the outer diameter is almost the same as the outer diameter of the columnar blank, and the degree of processing is small, since both ends are simply formed by punching into a hollow space. For this reason, there is a problem that the cylindrical portions at both ends of the cylindrical component (1) are easily deformed. The present invention clarifies a method for producing a cylindrical part having excellent strength and high durability by using a forging line unique to forging and forging.

[0005]

According to the present invention, a method for forging and forging a cylindrical part is achieved by driving a driving pin (6) into a solid blank (1b) deeply near the opposite end face of the blank. A member (1c) is formed, and in the next step, the bottom of the bottomed cylindrical member (1c) is punched to form a cylindrical member (1d) having both ends open, and in the next step, both ends of the cylindrical member (1d) Is reduced to a small diameter, and the center of the cylindrical member is expanded in a spherical shape in the final step.

[0006]

[Operation and Effect] The driving pin (6) is driven into the solid blank (1b) deeply near the opposite end face of the blank to form a bottomed cylindrical member (1c). Work hardening that occurs near the connecting portion of the cylindrical body occurs on the end side of the cylindrical member (1c). Therefore, the work hardening at the central portion of the cylindrical member that expands in a spherical shape in a later step is small and uniform, and the cylindrical member can be expanded without difficulty.

In the next step, since both ends of the cylindrical member (1d) are narrowed to a small diameter, the working degree of this portion is further increased, and work hardening is caused to be difficult to deform. Furthermore, cylindrical parts (1)
For example, the flow of material is not interrupted by forging / forging, that is, the strength is excellent and the durability can be improved by the forging line peculiar to forging / forging.
