Rolled Ring Forging Supplier – Custom Seamless Forged Rings

Rolled ring forging is one of the most efficient processes for producing seamless rings with superior strength and dimensional accuracy. At Weforging, we integrate forging, CNC machining, and testing to manufacture rolled alloy forgings that meet the highest standards of reliability. Our forged rings are widely used in wind power, heavy machinery, aerospace, and oil & gas industries—where durability, precision, and performance are critical.

Rolled ring forging process producing seamless forged rings for industrial applications

Rolled ring forging is a precise metal-forming process that creates seamless rings from heated circular billets. The billet is pierced and expanded under controlled pressure and rotation for uniform shaping. Compared with cast or welded rings, forged rings feature refined grain flow and superior tensile strength. This process ensures balanced mechanical properties and excellent stability under dynamic loads. Rolled ring forgings are widely used in bearings, flanges, and gear rings requiring high precision and long service life.

Rolled Ring Forging Process

The rolled ring forging process at Weforging follows a precise, step-by-step workflow to ensure consistency, accuracy, and high quality across every product.

  • Billet Preparation & Heating — High-grade alloy or carbon steel billets are evenly heated to the optimal forging temperature, ensuring proper metal flow and forming stability.

  • Piercing — The heated billet is pierced to create a central opening, forming a clean and uniform ring blank.

  • Ring Rolling — The blank is placed on a ring rolling mill where axial and radial rolls gradually expand the diameter while refining wall thickness and grain structure.

  • Heat Treatment — Each forging is normalized and tempered to achieve the required hardness, strength, and fine microstructure.

  • CNC Machining — Precision machining is applied to surfaces, bores, and gear profiles using advanced CNC centers to maintain tight tolerances and smooth finishes.

  • Inspection & Quality Control — Every stage, from billet heating to final machining, is verified through ultrasonic, dimensional, and mechanical inspections to ensure accuracy, strength, and traceability.
