Ring rolling forging is a metal forming process in which a pre-formed ring is rotated and compressed between rollers to expand its diameter and reduce wall thickness, while maintaining continuous grain flow. Widely used in aerospace, energy, automotive and heavy machinery industries for components like bearings, gears, flanges and jet engine rings, it produces seamless rings with precise dimensions and high structural integrity. The process enhances fatigue and impact resistance, ensures uniform material properties and minimises machining and material waste, offering an excellent strength-to-weight ratio for critical, high-stress applications.
RING ROLLING AT IFA
With our horizontal and vertical ring rolling capacity we can produce rings up to 2500mm diameter, 720mm deep & 2500kg weight.
Our 40T & 300T mills are fed by gas fired furnaces, ring handling manipulators, a 1000T hydraulic press, hammers and ring expanders.
Standard shifts can produce 17,250 close tolerance rings and cylinders per year and capacity is always available as we can increase the number of shifts.
These mills work in tandem with our forging hammers a full range of rings and cylinders offered with close tolerances and concentricities.
