ABSTRACT:
A device, such as an inner race of a torque converter's overrunning clutch, is formed by powder metallurgy. The race includes oil grooves and chamfers formed in each face by forging. The oil grooves on the first face open onto the chamfer. The chamfer on the second face is interrupted at the oil grooves such that each oil groove opens onto the diametral surface. A forge assembly for forming the race includes a die assembly including a discontinuous lower chamfer tool, an upper punch including groove tools and a continuous chamfer tool, and a lower punch including groove tools and radially extending teeth disposed at the oil grooves and capable of extending into the gaps of the lower chamfer tool. A method for forming the race includes employing the die assembly to forge the oil grooves and chamfers into the preform and remove flash by conventional grinding processes.
