Method of shaping a wheel.

摘要

Wheels of automobiles comprise a disc part (11) and a peripheral rim part (12). The disc part is usually formed by forging. Then, rim part is shaped by rolling. So a large workshop and many apparatuses are required to manufacture the wheel. An object of the invention is to reduce a number of the apparatus. The initial material is formed so as to combine a central disc part (11) and a peripheral annular part (12) beforehand. A first ram (3a) has a pressing surface (31) for shaping an outer side of the disc part and a peripheral surface (32) for shaping an outer rim, and a second ram (3b) has a pressing surface (33) for shaping an inner side of the disc part and a peripheral surface (34) for shaping an inner rim. The rams rotate on their axes synchronously in the same direction and press the central disc part to shape the disc part of the wheel. At the same time or after a shaping roller (4) forms the rim parts by pressing the peripheral part from the side.
