Abstract (en)

Method for manufacturing a tapered rod for a coil spring from a metallic material of mainly steel in a linear state, by imparting heating to the same with a predetermined temperature gradient pattern in the axial direction thereof while or before pulling by tensile force the metallic material chucked at two axially distant points in either direction in a gradually decreasing or stepwise decreasing speed, until a desired tapered portion is formed. An apparatus preferably employed for this method comprises a pulling mechanism (12, 22) for chucking and pulling the material, an electric current supplying mechanism (15) for supplying predetermined amount of current to the material between the two chucked points, a plurality of cooling means (C1 - Cn) arranged axially along the material for positionwise cooling the material so as to make the temperature gradient thereon, a temperature detecting means (16, 17) for detecting the surface temperature of the material for feeding back the detected data to the current supplying mechanism (15), and a heating temperature controlling means (18) for controlling the amount of the current flowed there.
