Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019074022A1] A rack bar (14) is manufactured by sequentially inserting a plurality of mandrels into a hollow shaft member with a teeth forming die being pressed against an external surface of a teeth base portion of the shaft member, such that the size of the mandrel in the height direction is increased in a stepwise manner and such that the size of the pressing portion of the mandrel in the width direction is reduced in a stepwise manner. The manufactured rack bar (14) has a first worked surface (15) and a second worked surface (16), both formed on an internal surface of the teeth base portion in a recessed manner and extending in the axial direction. The second worked surface is formed at a central portion of the first worked surface with respect to a tooth-width direction.
