Short answer: Ring rolling deforms a heated pierced blank between a driven main roll and a pressure roll, expanding it into a seamless ring of precise diameter, wall and profile. Because the grain flows circumferentially, rolled rings give superior fatigue and impact strength over welded or machined rings, making them the standard for bearings, flanges, gears, turbine casings and heavy-wall pressure components.
