The invention relates to a flanged bearing ring produced from a high carbon steel profile bar comprising at least one flash butt welded joint, where the bearing ring is provided with an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface and where one peripheral surface comprises a raceway for rolling elements, where the bearing ring further comprises a flange adapted for fixing the bearing ring to a mechanical member, where the flange protrudes from the bearing ring in a substantially radial direction. The invention further relates to a method for producing such a homogenous flanged bearing ring from a straight profile bar. The advantage of the invention is that a homogenous flanged bearing ring is obtained in a simple and cost-effective way.
