  • Patent number: 11802617
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a sintered gear includes preparing a green compact having two gear-shaped end surfaces, one on each of two sides in an axial direction of the green compact, and having a plurality of teeth on an outer peripheral surface formed between the two end surfaces; chamfering an edge of the teeth by a brush; and sintering the green compact. The brush is a wheel-type brush including a disk-shaped wheel and a bristle member radially protruding from an outer periphery of the wheel. The chamfering includes disposing the brush with respect to the green compact such that the axial direction of the green compact and an axial direction of the wheel intersect with each other; bringing a tip of the bristle member into contact with a tooth bottom edge; and relatively moving the brush in a circumferential direction of the green compact while rotating the brush.
