Abstract
A method including the steps of forming an inner ring of a wheel hub, by joining a spindle and an insert ring fitted onto the spindle, on a side of a first end of the spindle; axially blocking the insert ring on the spindle by plastically deforming the first end of the spindle to form an upset collar therewith, which axially protrudes from the insert ring; and after forming the upset collar, frontally obtaining on the collar, on the side opposite to the insert ring a frontal toothing by means of a single creator tool provided, towards the collar, with a toothing which is complementary to that to be obtained, by impressing onto the collar, in sequence, one or more teeth of the complementary toothing, which have ridges with a rounded profile having a curvature radius (R) varying in the direction of an axis of symmetry (A) of the tool.
