Abstract

Provided is a ring-rolled member manufacturing method enabling stabilization of the attitude of the ring material without generating a defect and the like in the resulting ring-rolled member even when the main roll of the ring-rolling device is provided with the flange portions positioned on upper and lower sides of the ring material. A ring-rolling device used in the ring-rolled member manufacturing method of the present invention is provided with a main roll 10 and a mandrel roll 20 . An outer peripheral face of the main roll includes a recessed portion 12 to accommodate the ring material and an outer peripheral face of the mandrel roll 20 , an upper flange portion 11 positioned on an upper side thereof, and a lower flange portion 13 positioned on a lower side thereof. An inner face of the recessed portion includes a rolling face 12 S to be in contact with an outer peripheral face of the ring material, an upper face on the upper flange portion side, and a lower face 13 S on the lower flange portion side, the lower face 13 S having a slope in such a way that an opening of the recessed portion 12 is enlarged. The slope starts from within a range of a distance corresponding to a thickness of the ring-rolled member from a line of intersection between the lower face 13 S and the rolling face 12 S. An angle of the slope is greater than 0.3° and no greater than 9° with reference to the perpendicular plane.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method of manufacturing a ring-rolled member comprising ring-rolling a ring material with a ring-rolling device, an outer peripheral face of the ring material being at least partially inclined with respect to a central axis of the ring material, the ring-rolling device comprising a main roll and a mandrel roll, the main roll being positioned on an outer peripheral side of the ring material, the mandrel roll being positioned on an inner peripheral side of the ring material, wherein an outer peripheral face of the main roll includes a recessed portion to accommodate the ring material and an outer peripheral face of the mandrel roll, a first flange portion positioned on one side in a central axis direction of the main roll with respect to the recessed portion, and a second flange portion positioned on an opposite side of the first flange portion; an inner face of the recessed portion includes a rolling face to be in contact with an outer peripheral face of the ring material, a first inner face on a side of the first flange portion, and a second inner face on a side of the second flange portion; at least one inner face among the first inner face and the second inner face has a slope in such a way that an opening of the recessed portion is enlarged, with reference to a perpendicular plane perpendicularly intersecting the central axis direction of the main roll; the slope starts from within a range of a distance corresponding to a thickness of the ring-rolled member from a line of intersection between the at least one inner face and the rolling face; and an angle of the slope is greater than 0.3° and no greater than 9° with reference to the perpendicular plane.

2. The ring-rolled member manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the ring material is a heat-resistant alloy, which is a Ni-based alloy, a Co-based alloy, or an Fe-based alloy.

3. The ring-rolled member manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein an angle between a straight line connecting an end face corner of a large-diameter outer periphery with an end face corner of a small-diameter outer periphery of the ring material and the central axis of the ring material is greater than 10°.

4. The ring-rolled member manufacturing method according to claim 3 , wherein the angle of the slope of the inner face is no less than 0.6° and no greater than 9° with reference to the perpendicular plane.

5. The ring-rolled member manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the outer peripheral face of the ring material is at least partially inclined with respect to a central axis of the ring material; and, when an angle between a straight line D connecting an end face corner LD of a large-diameter outer periphery with an end face corner SD of a small-diameter outer periphery of the ring material and the central axis of the ring material is no greater than 10°, the angle of the slope of the inner face is greater than 0.3° and less than 3° with reference to the perpendicular plane.
