[Task] To provide a method that makes it possible to easily, inexpensively and accurately manufacture a machined part with a simple configuration and an excellent strength. [Means for Solution] In a method for manufacturing a machined part according to the invention, a dislocation is partially introduced (S), through shot peening, only into a surface layer of a raw materialin a regionto be machined, graphite is partially deposited (S), through heating, only in the surface layer of the regionto be machined, and then, the surface layer of the regionwhere graphite is deposited is removed, through machining (S), only by an amount corresponding to a working margin, thereby manufacturing a machined part

The problem of the present invention involves providing a gear that has high tooth-root bending strength and for which there is no chipping of the tips of the teeth. Accordingly, the surface of the gear is carburized and the gear is strengthened by imparting residual stress, with the residual stress in the region with a surface depth of 5 &#x3bc;m to 20 &#x3bc;m being &#x2212;1000 MPa or less, and the residual stress in the region with a surface depth of 50 &#x3bc;m to 150 &#x3bc;m being &#x2212;1000 MPa or greater.

To provide a method of manufacturing a carburized part contributable to cost reduction, a portion intended for a non-carburizing portion is treated to a surface roughness corresponding to Rz 50 like a first work surface and a portion intended for a carburizing portion is treated to a surface roughness corresponding to Rz 1.5 like a second work surface.

A method and apparatus of manufacturing an endless metallic belt adjusts a circumferential length of the belt by subjecting the endless metallic belt to a shot peening treatment. For example, by measuring the circumferential length prior to the shot peening treatment and determining the condition of the shot peening treatment on the basis of the measured length, and/or by measuring the circumferential length during the shot peening treatment and terminating the shot peening treatment on the basis of the measured length.

An endless metallic belt has at its outer peripheral surface a layer provided with a compressive residual stress by shot peening, and also has at its inner peripheral surface a layer provided with a compressive residual stress by shot peening. In a method for manufacturing the endless metallic belt, both outer and inner peripheral surfaces of the endless metallic belt are subjected to shot peening, wherein the inner peripheral surface is shot peened prior to the outer peripheral surface. The method produces an endless metallic belt having its fatigue strength improved without suffering any significant deformation.

A method of corrugating a metallic pipe which achieves an increase in the limit of tube expansion ratios. First, a heated part is formed by heating a local part of an outer periphery of a pipe in a circumferential direction by a high frequency coil. Next, the heated part is located within a forming surface of a forming die, and an axial compressive stress is applied to the pipe. Thus, the heated part is expanded while restricted by the forming surface. Therefore, even when the axial length of the heated part is increased, formability is stabilized and the tube expansion ratio can be raised.

The present invention can provide a method and an apparatus for bending a pipe whose bending cross section has reduced compressed ratio, reduced reduction ratio of area and reduced reduction in thickness and in which bending can be conducted at the desired curvature. In the present invention, both edges of the pipe bending portion are arrested and grasped, a center of one bending edge is set to be the axis and a revolution axis is amounted on it, a rotation axis is mounted at a center of the other bending edge and gears are installed on the revolution axis and the rotation axis so as to engage each other so that the driving is driven to the gear on the rotation axis. The rotation axis revolves having the radius to be the distance from the rotation axis to the revolution axis and at the same time the rotation axis rotates on its axis having the radius of the gear in response to the revolution angle. Accordingly, both of the rotational centers of rotation and revolution are existed on the pipe axis and the bending stress is effected on the whole of the bending portion. Therefore, the levels of the tensile force at the bending outside and the compressive force at the bending inside are constantly kept to be a balanced condition. As the result, the problems that the thickness of the pipe bending portion is reduced and that the pipe bending portion is compressed are improved very much.

In a method and apparatus for manufacturing a corrugated tube, a tube is clamped by a pair of spaced apart chucks. A local portion of the tube is softened. The chucks are moved in the same direction such that the trailing or rearward chuck moves farther than the leading or forward chuck, thereby imparting an axially compressive force on the tube. Accordingly, a bulge is formed at the softened portion of the tube. The heating and compression cycle may be performed several times to obtain a corrugated tube having a plurality of bulges or waves formed therein.
