Abstract

See full text

In a forming apparatus, journal dies hold and retain rough journal portions of a preform blank therebetween, and reference crank pin die and movable crank pin dies contact rough crank pin portions thereof. In this state, the journal dies and the movable crank pin dies are moved axially toward the reference crank pin die and the reference crank pin die and the movable crank pin dies are moved perpendicular to an axial direction. With this, rough crank arm portions are axially compressed to reduce their thickness to that of crank arms of a forged crankshaft, and the rough crank pin portions are pressed perpendicular to the axial direction to increase an amount of eccentricity to that of the forged crankshaft crank pins. Consequently, it is possible to form a blank for finish forging having a shape generally in agreement with a shape of the forged crankshaft for a three-cylinder engine.
