The present invention provides a high quality material for ring rolling. The material includes radially outer and inner peripheral surfaces. In the material, a center of gravity on a half section is located so as to be closer to the outer peripheral surface in contact with a main roll than a center of the half section in a thickness direction, a shape of the half section includes a height reducing portion having a height from a center line dividing the half section into halves in a height direction, this height is gradually reduced toward the inner peripheral surface in contact with a mandrel roll, and the shape is formed in a substantially linear symmetry such that the center line is a symmetric axis. A height of the inner peripheral surface is from 20% to 50% of a maximum height of the material.

Material for ring rolling

A manufacturing method provides a high-quality material for ring rolling. The manufacturing method of the material for ring rolling includes a step of heating a disk-shaped material for hot forging to a hot working temperature, a step of arranging the material for hot forging onto a lower die having a convex portion with a truncated conical shape, a step of forming a thin portion by pressing a center portion of the material for hot forging by using an upper die having a convex portion with a truncated conical shape, and a step of manufacturing a material for ring rolling by removing the thin portion wherein a center of gravity on a half section of the material for ring rolling is located so as to be closer to an outer peripheral surface of the half section than a center of the half section in a thickness direction of the half section.
