Abstract

See full text

A method of manufacturing a valve (10) is provided, in which an intermediate valve product having a generally disk-shape valve head is formed by a die unit (20). The valve head is then machined to have a proper thickness and a tapered face on the periphery of the disk-shape valve head. The valve head is repeatedly forged in secondary forging by means of a die unit (40) equipped with a die (42) and a press punch (48) while angularly displacing the tapered face relative to the die (42) through a predetermined angle. Since the die (42) has protruding pressing sections and grooves (46) along the circumference of the die, a uniformly deformed and hardened valve face (16) is formed on the valve head.
