A forged composite bevel gear is forged from a composite preform compact including a first powder metal material and a second powder metal material. The forged composite bevel gear includes a gear core formed in an inner section of the forged composite bevel gear with the gear core defining a rotational axis and a plurality of teeth formed on an outer section of the forged composite bevel gear and extending from the gear core. The plurality of teeth extend in the same general direction as the rotational axis of the gear core, but are also inclined with respect to the rotational axis of the gear core. The outer section comprises the first powder metal material in a higher concentration than the second powder metal material.

The present invention provides a ring gear and a gear reduction device. The ring gear includes a one-piece annular body made from powder metallurgy material, and a first ring gear part and a second ring gear part formed on a surface of the annular body. The first ring gear part and the second ring gear part are arranged along an axial direction of the annular body. The ring gear has a density less than 92% of its theoretical density and a mass of 6.0 to 8.0 grams per cubic millimeter. The present invention further provides a mold for manufacturing the ring gear. The ring gear of the present invention includes two ring gears integrally formed at once, and the two ring gears have improved concentricity.

A rotary press device (33) includes a restriction section (36) configured to restrict a motion of a roll (30) around a central axis of a roll (30) against movement of the roll (30) around a central axis of a hub main body (8) during rotary forging. In an example, the restriction section (36) has guide teeth (44) meshed with teeth formed on a processing surface of the roll (30).

A tool for forming an annular workpiece, such as a gear, is provided. The tool has a cylindrical inner form member that has a perimeter that is surrounded by the gear. Driver moves axially along a central axis of the inner form member and gear. A plurality of outer form members rest on a support and are slideable with respect to the support. Each outer form member is provided with a tapered surface that corresponds with and engages with a tapered surface of the driver. Axial movement of the driver causes the tapered surfaces to engage, sliding the outer form members radially inwardly toward the gear. The outer form members are provided with surface features that form teeth onto the gear when the driver presses the outer form members against the gear.

There is provided a method of manufacturing a tooth-shaped component including drawing process of draw-forming a workpiece so as to obtain a cylindrical container which has a bottom surface portion and a side surface portion; diameter-reducing process of reducing a diameter of a particular part in which a tooth tip portion is to be formed in the side surface portion of the cylindrical container, so as to increase a thickness of a corner portion such that an external shape of the corner portion between the bottom surface portion and the side surface portion satisfies the following conditional expression (1); and tooth shape-forming process of forming the tooth tip portion in the particular part of the cylindrical container reduced in diameter in the diameter-reducing process, so as to obtain a tooth-shaped component which has the bottom surface portion, the side surface portion, and the tooth tip portion.
