摘要

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a steering shaft part (10) of a steering shaft (1) for a motor vehicle, which steering shaft part has a tubular steering shaft portion (2) extending from an end (41) in a longitudinal direction, which steering shaft portion has, in an end portion extending from the end (41) over a part of the steering shaft portion (2), a connecting portion (21), which has, at least over part of its length, a wall thickness enlargement (22) in comparison with a portion of the steering shaft part (10) that adjoins the connecting portion (21), comprising the steps of: providing a tube portion (4); producing a wall thickness enlargement (22) by forming at least in some parts in the end portion extending from the end (41) in order to form the connecting portion (21). According to the invention, in order to allow a steering shaft part (10), a steering shaft (1) constructed therefrom and a steering column to be provided in a simple way and with a high level of reliability, the wall thickness enlargement (22) is produced by plastically forming the end portion of the tube portion (4) by means of orbital compression.
