A cold metal ring is greatly expanded in radial diameter and simultaneously contoured to a desired cross-sectional shape by successively rolling the ring between selected pairs of roll dies. If necessary, the ring may be annealed between successive cold rolling operations sufficiently to permit movement of ring material without fracturing the ring. Thereafter, the rolled ring may be expanded to a precise radial diameter utilizing a precision expander. Dimensional and contour control of the ring is comparable to that attainable by machining. |
