Rolled ring forging is a special forging process that is typically performed by heating, then punching a hole in a thick, round piece of metal to create a donut shape, and then reheating, and rolling and squeezing, stretching the donut into a thin ring. Ring diameters can be anywhere from a few inches to about 30 feet. High tangential strength and ductility make forged rings well-suited for torque- and pressure-resistant components, such as gears, engine bearings for aircraft, wheel bearings, couplings, rotor spacers, sealed discs and cases, flanges, pressure vessels and valve bodies.
AMS 4127 6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy Forgings/Forged/Rolled Rings
These products have been used typically for complex, shaped parts requiring moderate strength and good forgeability of the material, but usage is not limited to such applications. Corrosion resistance of this alloy is superior to that of alloys having copper as the principal alloying element.
