Flexible metal forming processes are novel ways to meet the growing needs for maintaining
economic feasibility in mass production and customization. The flexible forming processes …

Substantial amount of material is removed during the manufacturing process of large ring
parts, thereby causing the ring parts to become a thin-walled structure with reduced rigidity …

For the groove-section profiled ring rolling (GSPRR) of difficult-to-deform materials, one of
the most challenging issues is to ensure the precision forming of ring groove before the …

Tapered ring with thin wall and three high ribs (TRTWTHR), showing complicated geometry
(wall thickness is less than 4 mm and rib height exceeds 20 mm), is extensively utilized to …

In the conical-section profiled ring rolling (CSPRR), due to the asymmetrical geometric
features and uncoordinated deformation of the ring along the axial direction, multiple …

Groove-section profiled ring rolling (GSPRR) is a challenging forming process with high
flexibility and complex deformation behavior. In the process, feeding strategy is a critical …

Ring rolling is a near-net shape forming process that produces ring products with relatively
good dimensional accuracy. Two main factors that lower the precision of the final products …

A kinematic-based analytical model was developed for estimating the geometrical
expansion of profiled rings during the ring rolling process and validated against own and …

The final quality of complex conical-section rings depends on co-design of multiple
processes in forming process chain. In this study, for a complex aeroengine casing ring with …
