Centrifugally cast components are typically thought of as straight walled cylindrical geometries such as tubes, pipe, or rings. They are often cast horizontally in permanent steel dies that have a removable end cap. Because the part must be extracted from the uncollapsible die, shaping is limited to geometries that have a straight or slightly drafted O.D. …

Centrifugal Casting Process: Advantages and Limitations

admin — Tue, 24 Nov 2020 22:47:34 +0000

Advantages Centrifugal Casting Eliminates Mid-wall Defects The centrifugal process does not rely on discrete risers or feed points to ensure the absence of trapped porosity. Rather, the inner diameter remains fully liquid during the solidification process, resulting in a continuous supply of metal to feed areas of contraction. Unlike conventional gravity or static castings that…
