A method for manufacturing a ring-rolled product, which manufactures the ring-rolled product from a ring material, includes a step of rolling the ring material, which has an operation of rolling the ring material from both inner and outer circumferential sides thereof between a mandrel roll and a main roll in a state of rotating the ring material toward one side in a circumferential direction thereof, and induction-heating the ring material by induction heating elements. An induction heating element is disposed on only an outer circumferential side of the ring material or is disposed on each of both the inner and outer circumferential sides in a region immediately before the rolling, or an inclined portion is provided in an outer-peripheral edge portion of a coil in the induction heating element.

A method for manufacturing a ring-rolled product forms the ring-rolled product from a ring material by using a mandrel roll and a main roll. The mandrel roll and the main roll are configured so as to contact inner and outer circumferential surfaces of the ring material, respectively, and are configured so as to press the ring material in a radial direction thereof in a state in which the ring material is rotated in a circumferential direction thereof. The method includes a step of rolling the ring material that includes an operation of induction-heating the main roll by at least one induction heating element and rolling the ring material between the mandrel roll and the main roll, which is induction-heated.

Various implementations include a ring material used for producing a ring molded article. The ring molded article has two convex portions which respectively protrude on opposite sides of the ring molded article in a direction of a center axis thereof and extend in a direction of a circumference of the ring molded article. A straight line passing through centers of gravity of first and second side regions is inclined by an angle relative to the center axis of the ring material, the first and second side regions are obtained by virtually dividing a one half section of the ring material based on a middle of a maximum height of the ring material in the direction of the center axis of the ring material, and a range of the angle is 7 degrees to 40 degrees.

Construction is achieved that, together with preventing the occurrence of damage to a mandrel, is able to improve precision of the shape of a ring-shaped member after processing. A mandrel includes a pair of support shaft sections that are provided so as to be separated in the axial direction and so as to be concentric with each other, and a rolling shaft section that is concentrically provided in the axial direction between the pair of support shaft sections. One of the support shaft sections is provided in a state in which displacement in the axial direction with respect to the rolling shaft section is regulated. The other support shaft section is provided in a state in which displacement in a direction going away from the rolling shaft section is possible when a pressing force is applied in that direction.

In a method of cooling a main roll, strength of a shaft and a peripheral portion thereof of the main roll is sufficiently secured, maintenance of the main roll is facilitated, and the shaft and the peripheral portion thereof of the main roll are efficiently cooled. In a method of manufacturing a ring rolled body, a high-quality ring rolled body is produced. The present invention relates to a method of cooing a main roll 1 for ring rolling in a state in which one side, in the rotation axis direction, of the main roll 1 faces upward, and relates to a method of manufacturing a ring rolled body, including the cooling method. In the cooling method, the shaft 11 is cooled by injecting a liquid W into a receiving part 13, 17 which is recessed from an upper end surface 12c of a die 12 of the main roll 1 facing the one side in the rotation axis direction and surrounds the shaft 11 of the main roll 1. In the method of manufacturing a ring rolled body, a ring rolled body is manufactured by heating the die 12 by an induction heating mechanism 6 and cooling the shaft 11 by the cooling method, and further, reducing a ring material M between the main roll 1 and the mandrel 2.

Various implementations include a method of manufacturing a ring molded article. The ring molded article has two convex portions which respectively protrude on both sides of the ring molded article in a direction of a center axis thereof and extend in a direction of a circumference of the ring molded article. The ring material is placed inside two molds on which concave portions respectively corresponding to the convex portions are formed. The ring material is supported by a region on an outer peripheral side from an outer peripheral side corner in the concave portion of one of the two molds and a region on an inner peripheral side from an inner peripheral side corner in the concave portion of another of the two molds. The ring material is then forged so as to be pressed by the two molds in a direction of a center axis of the ring material.
