Rolled and Forged Steel Rings
At Midland Special Steels, we are proud to supply high-quality rolled and forged steel rings through a trusted manufacturing partner with almost a century of experience in ring production. This long-standing expertise, combined with state-of-the-art production facilities and total control over the entire process — from melt to rolling — allows us to deliver products of consistently exceptional quality, batch after batch.
The key to the superior performance of our rings lies in the meticulous management of the steel’s composition and structure throughout production. Oxygen content is carefully controlled during the melting process to create a cleaner, more homogeneous steel. This results in material that not only meets the strictest metallurgical standards but also performs more predictably in subsequent forming, machining, and finishing operations. In an industry where reliability and repeatability are paramount, few suppliers can match our dedication to consistency across deliveries.
Thanks to this high level of control, the rings we supply enable manufacturers to streamline their production processes and reduce costs. The material’s predictability and workability allow for faster cycle times, fewer quality issues, and a higher rate of finished product yield. Whether you’re producing heavy-duty mechanical components, structural assemblies, or high-precision equipment, our rings offer a foundation of material quality you can rely on.
ADVANTAGES OF ROLLED AND FORGED RINGS
One of the major advantages of our offering is the ability to provide profiled rings manufactured to tight tolerances, often very close to the final shape of the end product. By reducing the amount of subsequent machining required, these near-net-shape rings help minimise material waste and significantly shorten production lead times. For many of our customers, this translates directly into cost savings and greater operational efficiency.
In addition to profiled rings, we also offer fully machined ring options, allowing customers to focus resources on final assembly or finishing, rather than intermediate shaping or resizing. These machined rings are produced to precise specifications with consistent quality across large runs, making them an ideal choice for OEMs, high-volume fabricators, and engineering teams working to tight deadlines.

Rings can also be heat treated before delivery in a variety of executions such as:
· Normalised
· Soft annealed
· Stress relieved
· Isothermally annealed
· Quenched and tempered
For customers requiring surface-treated material, we offer shot-blasted rings for improved surface preparation and ease of handling. These can be supplied in a wide range of sizes, with diameters from Ø 170 mm up to Ø 4,000 mm, and weights ranging from 7 kg to 5,000 kg. Forged ring options are available up to 3,400 kg, ensuring we can support a wide variety of applications — from compact mechanical components to large industrial or structural rings.
Whatever your sector — from heavy engineering and energy to automotive, marine, and defence — Midland Special Steels provides the ring solutions to match your technical and operational requirements. Every ring is backed by full traceability and strict quality assurance, ensuring that the integrity of your supply chain is protected at every stage.
Our team is on hand to assist with technical queries, sizing, grade selection, and machining support. Whether you need a one-off prototype, a scheduled batch delivery, or a large-scale production run, we’ll work with you to find the most efficient, cost-effective solution.
