To provide a bolt made of a titanium alloy which can be subjected to cold forging and is inexpensive, and to provide a method for producing the same.
In the figure (a), a stock piece 20 is composed of a Ti-Fe-O based alloy comprising, by mass, 0.6 to 1.4% Fe and 0.24 to 0.44% O, and the balance titanium with inevitable impurities. In the stock piece 20, the diameter of the part to form into a shaft part is reduced by drawing. In the figure (b), the drawn part 21 is subjected to head upset forging, thus a large-diameter part 22 is made into a bolt head. The figure (c) shows the obtained headed shaft member 25, and, in the headed shaft member 25, one end of the shaft part 23 is integrally provided with a bolt head 26 fitted with a flange 27. Since this invention is composed of the Ti-Fe-O based alloy, cold plastic working is made possible, working cost can be reduced, and stock cost can be reduced.
