FABRICATION

Ah, got it — you’re talking about **round rings in fabrication or manufacturing**.

### In fabrication, **round rings** (typically metal) are used for a variety of purposes:

#### 🔩 **1. Mechanical Joints & Connectors**
- Used to **connect chains, cables, or straps**.
- Common in lifting gear, rigging, and securing loads.

#### 🏗️ **2. Structural or Support Components**
- Serve as **load-bearing or alignment** elements in structures or frameworks.
- Can be used in rotating assemblies as **pivot points** or **guides**.

#### 🛠️ **3. Welded Assemblies**
- Fabricators might weld round rings onto frames or plates for **tie-down points**, **anchor loops**, or **handles**.

#### 🧰 **4. Fixtures and Fittings**
- Part of **custom fabrication for furniture**, gates, or railings.
- Often seen in **decorative metalwork** as aesthetic accents.

#### ⚙️ **5. Precision Applications (O-rings style)**
- Though not the same as classic round rings, **precision-machined round rings** (like O-rings) are used in **sealing and gasketing** applications — especially in hydraulics, pneumatics, or engines.
