A method is disclosed for the manufacture of gear wheels having two axially adjacent gears ( 4,6 ) thereon. A blank is prepared with the two gears crudely formed thereon by compressing and sintering a shaped mass of substantially metal powder. The blank is then mounted for rotation about a first axis, and the gears are roll-formed on the blank by rotating the blank in meshing engagement with respective dies ( 10,12 ) mounted for rotation about second and third axes substantially parallel to the first axis. |
