Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method is provided to produce a high-frequency heat treatment coil including a heating section for heating a heat treatment portion of an outer joint member for a constant velocity universal joint. The heating section is formed by machining in an integrated manner, and is joined to another section to complete the high-frequency heat treatment coil.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of producing a high-frequency heat treatment coil including a heating section for heating a heat treatment portion of an outer joint member for a constant velocity universal joint, wherein: the heating section comprises a coil body in which a current passage through which a high-frequency current flows is formed, the coil body being formed by machining in an integrated manner; a cover member is joined to the coil body to form a cooling water passage; the current passage of the coil body comprises two passages of a first circumferential passage and a second circumferential passage, and a connecting section between the first circumferential passage and the second circumferential passage is inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a current flow direction; and the method comprises: forming the heating section comprising the coil body by machining in the integrated manner; and joining the cover member serving as another section to the coil body to form the cooling water passage, to thereby complete the high-frequency heat treatment coil. 2. A method of producing a high-frequency heat treatment coil including a heating section for heating a heat treatment portion of an outer joint member for a constant velocity universal joint, wherein: the heating section comprises a coil body in which a current passage through which a high-frequency current flows is formed, the coil body being formed by machining in an integrated manner; a cover member is joined to the coil body to form a cooling water passage; a current flowing through a joining section between the cover member and the coil body is set to a minute current, the joining section being disposed at a position independent of contributing to heating; the current passage of the coil body comprises two passages of a first circumferential passage and a second circumferential passage, and a connecting section between the first circumferential passage and the second circumferential passage is inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a current flow direction; and the method comprises: forming the heating section comprising the coil body by machining in the integrated manner; and joining the cover member serving as another section to the coil body to form the cooling water passage, to thereby complete the high-frequency heat treatment coil.
