Ranflex Metals can produce discs in sizes from 3” up to 38” up to 1500# max. Individually upset forged discs improve strength by compressing the grain structure in both directions. This process produces directional grain flow, which gives strength and ductility that is not found in bar or plate stock.

On bar product, the center of the bar is the least worked, leaving coarse grains. This can lead to premature failure in certain applications. By individually upset forging the disc, the center of the material receives equal compression, leaving the grain in the center of the disc with a refined grain structure. Ranflex Metals offers short lead times and no minimum requirement. Some grades can be shipped in several days.

Seamless rolled rings on one of our radial ring rollers, offer improved concentricity and smooth surfaces as compared to plate burn-outs, or butt welded rings. Rolled rings save material machining rings from bar stock by not having to bore out the inner diameter. Our CNC programmed machines ensure repeatability from ring to ring, with close tolerance rolling to minimize machining off excess metal. We have the capability of rolling rings up to 48" in diameter and up to 14" in thickness or height, 1500# max.

Forged and rolled rings offer controlled grain flow, which gives strength and resistance to impact and fatigue as compared to plate and welded materials. Ranflex Metals offers the best lead-time in the industry, some alloys ban be shipped within days!

Individually forged blocks from Ranflex Metals offer better strength due to forging in all six directions, further refining the grain structure. This forging process yields greater impact and direction strength compared to plate or bar.

Ranflex Metals can produce blocks Up to 24" cross section, 1500# max. Short lead-time, no minimum requirements custom sizes can be produced on short runs.

We offer a wide range stainless steel forged cylinders. These product are made from superior quality stainless steel, that assures durability, high corrosion resistance, high rate of performance and years of hassle free working. The forged steel cylinders are custom made to meet the specific requirements of the client. Rigorous quality checks program ensure flawless products. Meeting with our commitments is also ensured by us.

Step shafts offer endless possibilities in configurations, as shown in the photos. Machining the step down from solid bar causes loss of excess material and cost of material turned into chips. Also machining in this manner causes the grain flow to be exposed, making the material susceptible to metal fatigue. Forging produces a contoured grain flow within the step down, yielding greater impact and directional strength. Machining time will be greatly reduced freeing up production time and maintaining workflow
