Abstract:
A terminal sealed portion (30) is formed on an end portion of a hollow rod (20) made of steel. An enclosed space (32) is formed on an inner side of the hollow rod (20). At an end of the enclosed space (32), a terminal gap (32a) is formed. A volatile powdered rust inhibitor (70) is supplied in the enclosed space (32). As the volatile powdered rust inhibitor (70) is vaporized, the enclosed space (32) is turned into a rust-inhibiting atmosphere. As the vaporized component of the volatile powdered rust inhibitor (70) is adsorbed to an inner surface (32c) of the enclosed space (32), an inner surface rust-inhibiting film (71) is formed. The vaporized component also enters inside the terminal gap (32a), and forms a terminal rust-inhibiting film (72).
Abstract:
A stabilizer manufacturing method according to the present invention includes forming a first end and a second end of a stabilizer by processing a tubular member, wherein the tubular member includes: a central portion having a tubular shape; a first reduced diameter portion having a tubular shape and provided on one end side of the central portion, the first reduced diameter portion having a wall thickness equivalent to a wall thickness of the central portion and having a diameter smaller than a diameter of the central portion; a second reduced diameter portion having a tubular shape and provided on the other end side of the central portion, the second reduced diameter portion having a wall thickness equivalent to the wall thickness of the central portion and having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the central portion; a first connecting portion having a conical shape and connecting the central portion and the first reduced diameter portion to each other; and a second connecting portion having a conical shape and connecting the central portion and the second reduced diameter portion to each other, the first end and the second end constitutes both ends of the stabilizer and each has a wall thickness equivalent to a wall thickness of a main body of the stabilizer, and the first end and the second end are formed by sandwiching and pressing each of the first reduced diameter portion and the second reduced diameter portion by a pair of first pressing members.
Abstract:
The reflection portion 20 of the reflection member 1 is moved along the inner surface in the hole of the pipe W from the entrance opening of the hole of the pipe W to the exit opening of the hole thereof. In this case, the reflection portion 20 is guided by the guide portion 30 provided at both sides of the reflection portion 20. The shots, which are projected toward the inner surface in the hole of the pipe W, reach the reflection portion 20 through the holes of the guide portion 30 of the entrance side, and they are reflected toward the inner surface in the hole of the pipe W. Since the shots can be reflected toward the inner surface inside in the hole of the pipe W, the tendency that shots may be moved toward the inner surface outside in the hole of the curved portion P can be small. Therefore, since thinning of the wall of the pipe W can be performed, the pipe W can be strong, and the weight reduction of the pipe W can be simultaneously performed. As a result, the workability and the versatility can be improved, and the reflection member 1 can be easily used on the inner surface in the hole of the pipe having the curved portion.
Abstract:
In a method of manufacturing a stabilizer according to the present invention, forging processing is performed on a base material and a stabilizer having a through hole at each of both ends is produced. The method includes: a recess forming step of forming a recess at a through hole formation position for the through hole of the stabilizer at an end of the base material; and a through hole forming step of forming a through hole by performing perforation at the through hole formation position including the recess.
