CENTRIFUGAL CASTING

CENTRIFUGAL CASTING

INTRODUCTION:

Centrifugal casting is the manufacturing process used to cast symmetrical objects having axis of revolution such as pipes, tubes gear blank etc.

The centrifugal casting process uses rotating molds to feed molten metal uniformly into the mold cavity. The centrifugal force of the rotating mold forces the molten against cavities of the mold under constant pressure until the molten metal has solidified. There are essentially two basic types of centrifugal casting machines the horizontal type, which rotates about horizontal axis and vertical type, which rotates about horizontal axis and vertical type, which rotates about a vertical axis.
Different types of molds are used in centrifugal casting process. Mold is designed according to various design considerations. Tubular casting produced in permanent molds by centrifugal casting usually have higher yields and higher mechanical properties.
