Abstract

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 100 B 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 1 and outer diameter D 2 are pressed by the respective tapered surfaces of a punch 10 A and a die 20 A provided with a prescribed taper to carry out bore-expansion drawing, thereby obtaining a frustoconical intermediate molded article 100 A; and a final molding step in which the intermediate molded article 100 A is pressed by a punch 10 B and a die 20 B having a desired shape to carry out bore-expansion drawing again, thereby obtaining a tubular rotary component 100 B.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for manufacturing a tubular rotary component from a metal disc with a hole formed in a central portion thereof, the metal disc having a predetermined inside diameter and a predetermined outside diameter, the method comprising:
an intermediate molding step comprising subjecting the metal disc to a reaming-drawing process in which both surfaces of the metal disc are pressed in entirety by a tapered surface of a punch having a predetermined taper and a tapered surface of a die having a predetermined taper, thereby producing an intermediate molded article having a frustoconical shape; and
a final molding step comprising subjecting the intermediate molded article to a further reaming-drawing process in which the intermediate molded article is pressed by a punch and a die having a smaller taper angle than the punch and the die for use in the intermediate molding step, respectively, thereby manufacturing the tubular rotary component,
wherein the final molding step is performed by inserting the punch having the smaller taper angle from a portion of the intermediate molded article having the outside diameter in a state in which a portion of the intermediate molded article having the inside diameter is positioned adjacent to the die having the smaller taper angle, and
wherein in both the intermediate molding step and the final molding step, an outer peripheral portion and an inner peripheral portion of the metal plate are subjected to shrink flange deformation and stretch flange deformation, respectively.

2. The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the reaming-drawing process and further reaming-drawing process are performed under a condition that a stretch flange rate λ is 90% or less, the stretch flange rate λ being given by λ=(D 1 ′−D 1 )/D 1 ×100 where D 1 ′ represents the inside diameter of the metal disc before undergoing the reaming-drawing process, and D 1 ′ represents an inside diameter of the tubular rotary component manufactured through the final molding step.

3. The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein in the intermediate molding step, an angle formed between the tapered surface of the punch and a processing direction and an angle formed between the tapered surface of the die and the processing direction are each set to 30 degrees or greater.

4. The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein in the intermediate molding step, the reaming-drawing process is performed two or more times while an angle between the tapered surface of the punch and a processing direction and an angle between the tapered surface of the die and the processing direction are varied.

5. The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the metal disc is made of a metal plate, the metal plate containing inclusions that are unevenly distributed such that a quantity of the inclusions increases toward a midpoint of a plate thickness of the metal plate,
wherein the method further comprises a cutting process step comprising subjecting the tubular rotary component obtained through the final molding step to a cutting process,
wherein the tubular rotary component has a thickness in which a partial thickness from a midpoint of the thickness to an inside diameter-side surface of the tubular rotary component is defined as an inside diameter-side thickness, while a partial thickness from the midpoint of the thickness to an outside diameter-side surface of the tubular rotary component is defined as an outside diameter-side thickness, and
wherein the cutting process is performed such that an inside diameter-side residue ratio becomes 0.37 or greater and an outside diameter-side residue ratio becomes 0.49 or greater, the inside diameter-side residue ratio being a ratio of the inside diameter-side thickness after the cutting process to the inside diameter-side thickness before the cutting process, and the outside diameter-side residue ratio being a ratio of the outside diameter-side thickness after the cutting process to the outside diameter-side thickness before the cutting process.

6. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising
a heat treatment step comprising subjecting the tubular rotary component obtained through the final molding step to hardening and tempering.
