Abstract (en)

In a method of manufacturing a tappet for an internal combustion engine, powdered metal "P" filled in a cavity 22 of a die 21 is compressed by lower and upper punches 23 and 25 to form a body and a top wall of the tappet, and is sintered. During compression molding, frictional resistance of powdered material increases density of the upper and lower ends of the tappet, thereby improving strength and wear resistance. <MATH>
