Forged shapes having a superior degree of structural integrity and dimensional accuracy are being produced in the present time with the help of forging processes that are systematically designed. These forging processes are performed in controlled presses and hammers. A broad spectrum of industries and situations has become acquainted with the advantages forging can bring for engineered products. These rings can be manufactured in different configurations that can range from flat shapes to tall and cylindrical shapes. Seamless rolled rings in customized, complex shapes with contours on outside and inside diameters are possible to be manufactured today with the help of state-of-the-art technology. These seamless rolled rings offer a cost-effective option to rings fabricated from steel plate and castings.

Stainless steel forgings such as steel rolled rings, steel blinds & tube sheets can be produced as finished size, finished size rough machined, forged size, forged size rough machined, as forged size, or as forged size with scope to finish to customized finish size print. To help save on material, and expenditure on machining and transportation, seamless rolled rings and contoured rings are manufactured.

When deciding on suppliers for steel rolled rings, there are some pointers that should be kept in mind.

• Look for suppliers who ensure that the forging process orients the grain flow circumferentially and radially, so that the finished pieces acquire the mechanical properties they need to be more resistant to impact and fatigue.
• Steel rolled rings should be manufactured to closed tolerances that provides for minimum material allowance and minimum waste.

The accuracy of rolled angle rings is extremely important. If it fails to keep a consistent diameter, it will lead to increased assembly costs, hampered production and ultimately slow delivery.

• Steel rolled rings should be easy to install and have a smooth, polished surface. These should be non-abrasive and should not require much maintenance. Also, they should be mechanically and chemically competent.
• The steel rolled rings should have been tested destructively and non-destructively.
• Last, but not the least, the supplier should be certified.

Steel blinds and tube sheets are other forged products of steel that are widely used in industries related to processing, and manufacture of equipment. Steel blinds are used to stop one end of a flanged pipe, a valve orifice, or a pressure vessel’s opening. Tube sheets are used to protect tube bundles within pressure and heat exchangers. The blinds and tube sheets should be supplied in fully machined and drilled condition. Prior to placing the order, it is necessary to check that the products are in compliance with the international standard of quality and precision.
