| PRINCIPLE - Centrifugal castings are
produced by Pouring Molten Metal into a rotating or spinning
mold. The centrifugal force of the rotating mould forces the
molten metal against the interior cavity of the mould under
constant pressure until the molten metal has solidified.
Cylindrical centrifugal castings are generally preferred for
the centrifugal casting process. |
| |
| SPEED OF ROTATION - Generally the
mould is rotated at a speed that creates a centrifugal force
ranging from 72 to 120 G (75 to 120 times of the force of
gravity). |
