What’s the Centrifugal Casting Process?

Do you know what’s centrifugal casting and its manufacturing process? It is a method of producing castings where molten metal is poured into a mould rapidly moving around a fixed axis. The molten metal come into contact with this rotating mould under a good amount of pressure because of the centrifugal force. This gives a better filling of mould. The casting grain density is also high. As a result, the porosity is almost zero. Centrifugal casting process is mainly used for making parts having the shape of bodies of revolutions.
It is divided intovertical centrifugal casting and horizontal centrifugal casting. High revolutions of the rotating metallic mold and centrifugal force of mass of molten metal spread equally the metal that gradually solidifies into the shape of a hollow cylinder or circle.
Application: casting pipe, bushing, gears, flywheels

Why use centrifugal casting?
Centrifugal casting is the ideal alternative to bar stock for all of your ring and sleeve requirements. Centrifugal casting has several very specific advantages. Why bore out all that material when you can get it with the hole already in it? Cast parts are ideal for pipes and tubes, bushings, rings, sleeves, liners, and all other hollow core cylindrical metal applications. Centrifugally cast metal products have a remarkably dense wall since lighter oxides and impurities are forced to the inner diameter where they can be easily machined away.
Advantages of Centrifugal casting process :
1. Castings acquire high density, high mechanical strength and fine grained structure
2. Inclusions and impurities are lighter
3. Gates and risers are not needed
4. High output
5. Formation of hollow interiors without cores
