Metalworking process - Hot Ring Rolling

The video shows an industrial metalworking process known as hot ring rolling. It starts with a thick, relatively small metal ring that has been heated in a furnace until it is glowing red-hot and malleable.

The hot metal is placed onto a ring rolling machine, which consists of an inner and outer roller. As the machine spins, the rollers apply immense pressure to the walls of the metal ring. This squeezing action reduces the thickness of the metal while simultaneously causing its diameter to expand.

Over a short period, the thick, small ring is transformed into a much larger, thinner seamless ring, which is then removed by a worker. This technique is commonly used to manufacture strong, seamless rings for things like gears, bearings, flanges, and aerospace components.
