  • Patent number: 4392296
    Abstract: In a method of joining two metal members by forming an annular groove at least on one of the two metal members to be joined and causing part of the material of the metal member to flow into the annular groove by plastic deformation to form a joint, at least one annular angled member is formed in the annular groove. The annular angled member extending the entire periphery of the annular groove is substantially triangular in axial cross-sectional shape. The joint has increased strength and can be formed with reduced pressure.

  • Patent number: 4376333
    Abstract: A joining structure comprises a shaft made of metal and a disc of metal more reducible than the shaft. The shaft has arcuate walls defined by a basic circle, and a plurality of projections each projecting from the basic circle and extending along the axis of the basic circle. The projections are spaced from each other so that the arcuate walls are disposed all between the projections. The disc has a hole of the same diameter as the basic circle. The shaft is forcedly inserted into the hole of the disc so that the projections cut into the disc to be rigidly joined to the disc with high concentricity between the shaft and the hole.

  • Patent number: 4370793
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for coupling two metallic members such as a shaft and a disc. The method includes forming an annular groove on a joint face or outer circumference of the metallic member having greater deformation resistance of the two members, for example, forming uneven portions on the bottom of the groove by knurling or the like. Working the other metallic member, for example, the disc; having smaller deformation resistance near its joint face so that the joint face opposing that of the other causes plastic deformation. Causing a part of the disc to fluidize and flow into the groove, thereby coupling both metallic members together.

  • Patent number: 4335496
    Abstract: A coupling process of two metallic members in which a first member to-be-coupled and a second member to-be-coupled are coupled by non-elastically deforming a coupling member. The steps comprise forming a concave portion having an inclined plane on a coupling face of each member to-be-coupled, arranging the members to-be-coupled to make a space therebetween, interposing the coupling member in the space, and applying pressure on the coupling member by using a metal mould to satisfy the following extent:0.ltoreq.S.ltoreq.b3/4bwherein S is the length of rubbing surface of the members to-be-coupled with the coupling member, and b is the distance between the first and second members to-be-coupled.

  • Patent number: 4253323
    Abstract: A method is provided for the formation of high precision metal slugs by cold forming. A metal column starting material is subjected to a preforming step in which the starting material is cold forged with a pair of upper and lower metal dies provided with concave recesses to produce a primary product having a barrel shape having a high degree of parallelism on the ends. The resultant primary product is subjected to an upsetting step in which the barrel shape is crushed while maintaining parallelism to obtain a secondary product. The resultant secondary product is then subjected to an ironing step in which the outer diameter of the secondary product is reduced to obtain a high precision slug having an outer diameter which is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the desired final product for which the slug will be utilized.

  • Patent number: 4249298
    Abstract: A method for connecting two members to be connected comprises following steps. At first, a circumferential groove is formed on the connecting surfaces of the members to be connected. Secondly, axial recesses are formed on the inner surface of the groove. Thirdly, a connecting member is placed between the members to be connected. The connecting member is made of a material which has a smaller resistance against deformation than the members to be connected has and which has a required mechanical strength. Lastly, the connecting member is pressed and plastically deformed, resulting in that the connecting member flows into the groove and the recesses.
