Why Forged Rings?
Typical problems associated with metal rings can frequently be traced to the metal-forming process. Cast rings are often plagued with substandard strength and integrity. Rolled and welded or cut rings from a plate are susceptible to fatigue and carry excess material and processing costs.
The forging process produces rings with controlled grain flow, which gives strength and resistance to impact and fatigue not found in rings torch cut from plate, or rolled and welded.
In the cases below, these common problems were solved by switching to the forging process.
Forged Ring Advantages
- Achieving structural integrity
- Optimizing toughness
- Enabling size versatility
Open Die Ring Process Highlights
To produce open die rings, material is first upset, then pierced to form an inside diameter. The ring is then drawn over a mandrel, if necessary, to achieve desired dimensions.
