Abstract
An improved spinning rotor for an open-end spinning frame is disclosed herein, according to which the rotor is made of steel, and selected portions of its interior peripheral surfaces, including the fiber-collecting groove thereof, which is formed along the maximum-diameter region within the spinning chamber, are heat-treated by a focused laser beam or focused electron beam to harden the same. Due to the nature of laser beams, only those areas which require surface hardening are heat-treated without heating the entire rotor body, so that no strain or distortion is developed in the rotor during the heat treatment process. As a result, the rotor is heat-treated to provide excellent wear-resisting properties and exceptional stability in operation at an extremely high speed for an extended period of service.
