The present disclosure provides a method for forging a gear capable of preventing burrs from being formed at an edge of the surface opposite to a direction in which a material in external teeth of the material is pushed. A first exemplary aspect is a method for moving the second punch along a tooth profile groove of the guide die to stack the material and the second punch in this order; and pushing the material and the second punch into a tooth profile groove of the tooth profile die in a stacked state to pass them therethrough, in which a tooth pressing part of the second punch covers at least an edge of a region where external teeth are formed on a surface of the material on the first punch side.

A forging press apparatus includes: a die with a die hole into which a material is to be contained and a relief hole smaller in diameter than the die hole; a molding punch configured to press an inner portion inside a peripheral portion of the material contained in the die hole; and a pressing member provided around an outer periphery of the molding punch to press the peripheral portion. A method includes: loading the material into the die; and forging the cup structure shaped by pressing the inner portion inside the peripheral portion of the material with the molding punch to cause the peripheral portion of the material to be brought into contact with the pressing member, and a part of the material to be pushed out into the relief hole by the molding punch to form a projection while a space is secured below the projection.

Provided are a hollow drive shaft using an upsetting method and a method of manufacturing the same, in which hot forging and upsetting processes are applied to both ends of a workpiece so that an outer diameter at both ends of the workpiece is greater than an outer diameter of a middle part of the workpiece, thereby reducing a weight of the drive shaft and enabling the drive shaft to transmit higher driving power. According to the present invention, the upsetting process is applied during the hot forging process to manufacture the hollow drive shaft, portions to be substantially processed are limited to portions at both ends of the workpiece, and the number of upsetting processes is limited to a minimum number (2 or the like), such that initial investment costs and manufacturing costs are low because the number of processes is small.

An apparatus for steering a metal pipe during a roll grooving process including a clamp to be secured to a static structure of a grooving press spaced apart from a rotating cylinder of the grooving press, a pair of spaced parallel rods slidably disposed through spaced openings of the clamp, a handle affixed to first ends of the pair of spaced parallel rods distal from the rotating cylinder, and a guiding tool affixed to second ends of the pair of spaced parallel rods proximate to the rotating cylinder carrying spaced rollers adapted to contact an outer surface of a metal pipe during a roll grooving process to apply a force against the metal pipe. A method for applying a force against a metal pipe during a roll grooving process.
