Abstract
A method of manufacturing screws which can form screws each having a desired hollow axial bore easily and having excellent machinability is provided. The method comprises the steps of (A) producing a green body containing metal powder by means of extrusion molding; (B) debinding the green body to obtain a brown body; and (C) sintering the brown body to obtain a sintered compact, wherein at least one machine working including a thread cutting process is carried out at anytime after the completion of the step (A). The step (C) of this method may include a pre-sintering step for obtaining a pre-sintered compact and a secondary sintering process, and the machining process including a thread cutting process is carried out onto the pre-sintered compact after the completion of the pre-sintering step.
