A pressing which a ram repeats an up-and-down motion for press working machine that performs a continuous operation in by a press die held by a die holding portion of a bolster and a die holding portion of the ram includes: a die positioning portion that positions the press die in a first direction being a moving direction of the ram; a position adjustment mechanism having a servomotor as a drive source and optionally changing a position where the press die is positioned by the die positioning portion; and a drive control unit driving, when position change data is given during the continuous operation, the servomotor such that the position where the press die is positioned by the die positioning portion is changed to a position corresponding to the position change data when reaction force of the press working not applied to the die positioning portion during continuous operation.

Provided is a method for manufacturing a tubular rotary component from a donut-shaped metal disc, wherein the generation of wrinkles or cracks due to a drawing process can be suppressed. This method for manufacturing a tubular rotary component 100B includes: an intermediate molding step in which the entirety of both surfaces of a donut-shaped metal disc 100 having a prescribed inner diameter D.sub.1 and outer diameter D.sub.2 are pressed by the respective tapered surfaces of a punch 10A and a die 20A provided with a prescribed taper to carry out bore-expansion drawing, thereby obtaining a frustoconical intermediate molded article 100A; and a final molding step in which the intermediate molded article 100A is pressed by a punch 10B and a die 20B having a desired shape to carry out bore-expansion drawing again, thereby obtaining a tubular rotary component 100B.

A method for manufacturing a steel Yankee drier including a cylindrical steel mantle with two end heads on each of which a corresponding pin is arranged, the cylindrical mantle having an external surface and an internal surface, and the internal surface of the mantle in cooperation with the end heads delimiting an internal chamber of the Yankee drier in which steam can be introduced. The surface protective coating is at least partially formed on the internal surface of the mantle by introducing a predetermined amount of a nickel bath in a volume delimited in a radial direction by the internal surface of the mantle, followed by a permanence of the bath in said volume for a predetermined time. The surface protective coating protects the internal surface of the mantle from corrosive and/or abrasive agents contained in the steam introduced into said chamber.
