Abstract
A rack for a steering gear of a motor vehicle may include a toothed portion having a toothing, and a shaft portion. Separate segments comprising at least one in each case bar-shaped toothed segment and one shaft segment are provided, are aligned on a common longitudinal axis, and are connected to one another at a joint. The method may involve providing a raw material piece having a piece length that is a multiple of a segment length, thermally continuously hardening the raw material piece across a multiple of a segment length to produce a hardened semi-finished segment product, cutting to length a hardened segment from the hardened semi-finished segment product, providing a further segment, and joining the hardened segment to a further segment.
