Abstract
According to the present invention, in a heating step, an outer circumferential portion of a workpiece having a disk shape is heated to high temperatures. In a hot rough-rolling step, the outer circumferential portion of the heated workpiece is formed by use of a roller die to generate a rolled-gear having teeth. In a warm finish-rolling step, the teeth of the rolled-gear are finish-rolled by use of the finishing roller die. The starting temperature T.sub.1 of the hot rough-rolling step is set in the range of from 850.degree. through 1100.degree. C., the terminating temperature of the hot rough-rolling step T.sub.2 is set in the range of from 500.degree. through 700.degree. C. The starting temperature T.sub.3 of the warm finish-rolling step is set in the range of from 400.degree. through 700.degree. C., and the terminating temperature of the warm finish-rolling step T.sub.4 is set in the range of from 200.degree. through 650.degree. C.
