Abstract
In a differential device and a method of manufacturing it, a press-fit regulation device regulating a press fit depth of the flange and the ring gear is provided in a press-fit portion between the flange and the ring gear, the flange includes thin-walled portions with recessed portions and thick-walled portions without the recessed portions, the thick-walled portions and the ring gear are welded from a second bearing boss side to a predetermined weld depth, and the thin-walled portions and the ring gear are welded from the second bearing boss side to a weld depth shallower than the predetermined weld depth or not welded. Accordingly, the press-fit portion between the flange and the ring gear can be efficiently welded even in a case where work windows of a differential case cut into a side surface of the flange on a first bearing boss side to form the recessed portions.
