分类： Centrifugal casting

Centrifugal casting process:

Molten metal is poured into a hollow cylindrical mold spinning about a horizontal or vertical axis at speeds generating more than 100 Gs of centrifugal force.

The centrifugal force distributes the molten metal and shapes it into a tubular/cylindrical forms.

Because of the high g-forces applied to the molten metal in the spinning die,

less dense material,

including impurities,

“floats” to the I.D. where it is subsequently removed by machining.

Solidification is managed directionally under pressure, from the O.D. to the I.D.,

avoiding any mid-wall shrinkage, leaving a defect-free structure without cavities or gas pockets.

  Vertical centrifugal cast

  —-1. The mold around the vertical axis of rotation.

•                                               2. It is mainly used for production of casting height is less than the diameter of the circle. 
•                                               3. Can take advantage of the core pouring castings.
  
  

  Horizontal centrifugal casting

  —-Suitable for casting various diameter of long pipe.
