An apparatus for electrochemical machining gear outline and the alignment structure thereof is disclosed, the apparatus comprises first and second alignment members. The first and second alignment members include a plurality of first alignment teeth and second alignment teeth, respectively. Recessing a gear-outline edge of the first alignment teeth by a distance and extending a gear-outline edge of the second alignment teeth by the distance for against to each other to align the first and second alignment members. A cathode electrode includes a plurality of machining teeth with both gear-outline edges recessed by the distance for against the gear-outline edge of the second alignment teeth with the extended distance to align machining teeth. Thereby, before trimming the gear-outline of a workpiece, the machining gap between the machining teeth and the teeth of the workpiece can be aligned first.

A method of manufacturing a mechanical part of the present invention includes a first process of forming, by performing a folding processing to an end portion of the material, a portion to be processed having a structure, in which a plurality of layers respectively having a thickness corresponding to a plate thickness of a material overlap each other, in the material such that a plate thickness direction of the layer is orthogonal to a plate thickness direction of the material; and a second process of changing, by performing a forging processing to the portion to be processed, a shape of the portion to be processed to a target shape while press-welding the layers of the portion to be processed to each other by plastic deformation.

A method for manufacturing a rack bar includes joining axial end portions of first and second bar members to each other, and forming a power transmission section on the second bar member. The first bar member has a toothed portion. When the second bar member is hollow, the method may further include thickening a wall of a portion of the second bar member along the axial direction so as to be coaxial with the first bar member. When the second bar member has a greater diameter than the first bar member, the method may further include cutting an outside diameter of a portion of the second bar member in the axial direction so as to be coaxial with the first bar member. The power transmission section is formed on the portion of the second bar member where the wall has been thickened and/or the outside diameter has been cut.

The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a gear capable of processing a projection formed on a tooth tip by shot peening while reducing time for manufacturing the gear. A method for manufacturing a gear includes: a process of hardening, by performing shot peening in which shot particles are jetted onto a tooth surface 1a of a gear base material, the tooth surface while applying residual stress to the tooth surface; a process of softening, by at least heating a tooth tip of the gear base material having the hardened tooth surface, the tooth tip; and a process of rotationally driving the gear base material having the softened tooth tip by engaging it with another gear.
