Abstract

According to the well known Grob method, there is fabricated on a mandrel provided with outer or external toothing or teeth a substantially dished or pot-shaped hollow body with corresponding inner or internal toothing or teeth. This fabrication operation starts with a blank comprising an at least partial web portion or dish base and a rim portion or dish rim projecting in a substantially tube-like or tubular configuration from the web portion or dish base. As seen in longitudinal section, this blank possesses a rounded or arcuate portion in the transition region or zone between the rim portion or dish rim and the web portion or dish base. This rounded or arcuate portion has a mean radius of curvature which is at least as large as the wall thickness of the rim portion or dish rim of the blank.
