Recent development of ring rolling theory and technique

Rings are basic mechanical components. Ring rolling is a well-known advanced plastic forming technique to manufacture high-performance seamless rings. Since the 21st century, the fast development of global manufacturing has raised an urgent request to high-performance rings, thus, comprehensive and in-depth studies on ring rolling technique were carried out. Based on long-term investigations and attentions on ring rolling, important developments of ring rolling theory and technique in recent 15 years were simply summarised, including the traditional radial ring rolling and radial-axial ring rolling, as well as the novel combined ring rolling. It is expected to give a valuable reference to the research and application of ring rolling.
