Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3815811A1] A method for manufacturing a hollow engine valve, by which method the surface condition of an inner surface making up a hollow is made fine and the volume of the hollow is increased, is provided. The method for manufacturing includes a forging step (S3) of obtaining an intermediate part (7) by a forging process, the intermediate part having a cylindrical portion (8B) and a semi-umbrella-shaped portion (9B) continuous with an axial end of the cylindrical portion; a heat treatment step (S4) of keeping the intermediate part at a given heating temperature for a temperature-keeping time (t2) determined in accordance with a wall-thickness (t) of the cylindrical portion (8B), to soften the intermediate part; a spinning step (S5) of drawing the cylindrical portion of the heat-treated intermediate part in an axial direction by a spinning process; and a necking step (S6) of reducing the diameter of the cylindrical portion drawn in the axial direction, by a drawing process to form a shank (2) and an umbrella-shaped portion (3).
