The process entails providing a flat-shaped article which is formed of a material capable of being deep-drawn. The flat-shaped article is stamped to provide indentations which correspond to the chamfer in the finished product. The flat-shaped article is then punched out to form a preform. The preform is then deep drawn, converting the preform into the shape of the ring. In the step of deep drawing the preform, the indentations form a chamfered section on the ring.Field of SearchPre-cutting (i.e., before metal-deforming)Severing a discrete piece from stock, work, or product After final metal-deforming operation With additional metal-deforming Blank detaching Deforming sheet metal Obtaining plural product pieces from unitary workpiece Utilizing transitory attached element or associated separate material | |
