Tenzo (English spelling) thread rolling

Japanese: 転造 - てんぞう(英語表記)thread rolling
Tenzo (English spelling) thread rolling

A forming method in which material is sandwiched between dies and rotated relative to one another. This is used to form screws or gears. The major advantages of rolling are that the processing time is significantly shorter than cutting, and since there are no cuts in the flow of metal, it produces products with superior strength. There are two types of thread rolling: the reciprocating type, which uses flat dies, and the rotary type, which uses round dies; the latter is available as a two-roll type or a three-roll type. The reciprocating type is mainly used for mass production of small screws, while the rotary type is used for forming high-precision screws (such as bolts) and processing special screw parts. There are also rack and pinion types for gear rolling.

Japanese:

素材をダイスの間に挟み、相対的に回転させる成形法。ねじあるいは歯車の成形などが行われている。転造加工の大きな利点は切削加工に比べて加工時間が著しく短く、かつ金属の流れに切断がないので強度的に優れた製品ができることである。ねじの転造には、平面ダイスを用いる往復式と、丸形ダイスを用いる回転式とがあり、後者には2ロール式と3ロール式とがある。往復式は小ねじなどの量産に主として用いられ、回転式は精度の高いねじ(たとえばボルト)の成形や特殊なねじ部品の加工に用いられる。また、歯車の転造にはラック形とピニオン形とがある。
