A torsion bar includes a central portion extending in an axial direction about a longitudinal axis. The torsion bar also includes a first end portion having a splined outer surface, the first end portion disposed proximate a first end of the torsion bar, the first end portion spaced from the central portion with a first annular groove extending circumferentially about the torsion bar.

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for producing a rod- or pipe-shaped intermediate product provided with an end face (106) from a semi-finished connecting element (102) made of metal, in particular an insertion end of a drill or chisel attached in an axially movable manner in the chuck of a hammer drill, the connecting element (100′) having at least one rotary entrainment surface (162, 164) and at least one locking depression (122, 124), the locking depression (122, 124) being preferably embodied as a locking groove, a semi-finished connecting element (102) being provided, the at least one rotary entrainment surface (162, 164) being formed in the semi-finished connecting element (102) by axially forcing the semi-finished connecting element (102) in the direction of the longitudinal axis (136) of the semi-finished connecting element (102) into a longitudinal die opening (204) of a die (202), or being embossed in the semi-finished connecting element (102) by radially applying at least one movable forming body (206), and the at least one locking depression (122, 124) being embossed by radially applying at least one or multiple forming bodies (206) that are movable in the same die (202).

This application relates to a method of manufacturing a knife using a multilayer material. In one aspect, the method includes preparing a multilayer material for manufacturing a knife, and heating and then forging the multilayer material to form a knife-shaped structure including a blade part and a handle part. The method also includes grinding the blade part to form a sharpened knife-edge and applying mud, including kaolin and white clay, to an entire surface of the knife-shaped structure and removing the mud applied to the blade part. The method further includes heating the knife-shaped structure applied with the mud, and quenching the heated knife-shaped structure through oil-cooling. The method further includes etching a surface of the quenched knife-shaped structure to form a pattern on the surface and grinding the surface-etched knife-shaped structure to form a knife having a final shape.

Provided is a method for manufacturing an iron golf club head by forging a single round rod member with a pair of dies to form, as a single piece, a body and a neck into which a shaft is to be inserted. The method includes: a first step of heating the single round rod member into a heated material; a second step of placing the heated material in the pair of dies; and a third step of forging the heated material placed in the pair of dies. In the third step, the heated material is prevented from flowing out from parting surfaces of the respective dies at a sole side of the body in the pair of dies, and the heated material blocked at the sole side in the pair of dies flows toward each of a toe of the body and the neck in the pair of dies.
