A process for producing a ceramic rolling element

The invention relates to a method for producing a ceramic rolling body, whereby a ceramic green compact (1) is solidified by sintering. The object is to provide a process for the preparation of a large number of ceramic rolling elements, which provides in particular a uniform density in the green compact is achieved in that the green compact (1) and cut to length portion (2) of an extrusion strand (3) is provided. The invention further relates to a rolling element produced by the process.
