Among powder metallurgy products, complex shaped parts are difficult to be produced. Even i9f it shall be compacted until pet shape, the parts are easily apt to crack. thus it causes inferior productivity.It is present condition that net ahaped parts are obtained by adding after treatment. Clutch hub, pulley, representative partawifh upper 2 steps, tower 3 steps parts are corresponded to the above case. In recent years. muired parts are get to be thinner and thinner, and therefore extremely high compacting techniaues are required. Definition of most preferable com~actingp arts are I) Uniform density 2) Non crack and 3) Realization of net shape or near net shape productlon. For the above purpose, YOSHIZUKA baa developed n now oreas applying hydraulic servo control system.

In this research, laser welding of automotive transmission components was investigated to replace electron beam welding which is normally conducted under vacuum condition. Fiber laser welding was applied to the automotive transmission components - hub clutch and annulus gear. In the component welding, the laser welding parameters were optimized to eliminate spatters and the end crater. By applying laser welding to the transmission parts, the process time could be reduced up to 70% compared with the current electron beam welding process.
