ABSTRACT:
An integral hollow type power transmission shaft is proposed which is superior in the balance between the static strength and the fatigue strength. The integral hollow type shaft is induction-hardened from the outer periphery to form a hardened layer, leaving an unhardened layer at spline portions, so that at the spline portions, the hardness on the inner surface will be lower than at other portions. This increases the toughness and compressive residual stress of the shaft at the spline portions, which tend to be starting points of fatigue cracks, thus improving the balance between the static strength and the fatigue strength.
