PURPOSE: A forming method for an upper shaft of a steering column is provided to improve work efficiency in forming an upper shaft by applying uniform pressure from three directions. CONSTITUTION: A forming method for an upper shaft of a steering column comprises the steps of: partially processing the peripheral surface of an upper shaft material into a groove shape(S1), advancing the groove part of the upper shaft material between dies arranged in three directions(S3), and rotating the dies to press the groove part of the upper shaft material from three directions to form a recess while maintaining the thickness of the groove part(S4). [Reference numerals] (AA) Start; (BB) End; (S1) Primarily processing a part of the peripheral surface of an upper shaft material into a groove shape using a lathe; (S2) Placing the primarily processed upper shaft material on a holder; (S3) Pushing the upper shaft material placed on the holder to one side using a push member arranged on the other side of the holder so that the groove part of the upper shaft material enters between dies arranged in three directions; (S4) Performing second processing for forming a recess depressed inward while maintaining the thickness of the groove part by rotating the dies arranged in the three directions and pressing the groove part of the upper shaft material from the three directions |
