    True Centrifugal Casting

    Uploaded by

    muhammadasrafazmi
    Centrifugal casting is a process where a mold is rotated at high speeds to cast hollow cylindrical or tubular parts. Molten metal is poured into the rotating mold, where centrifugal forces push the metal against the mold walls. This results in castings with a dense outer surface and impurities collected near the inner surface. Centrifugal casting is well-suited for parts like jet engine components due to the high quality, dense metal structure and ability to remove impurities.

    PROCESS OF CENTRIFUGAL
    CASTING

    Centrifugal casting is a process that delivers castings of very high material soundness,
    and thus is the technology of choice for applications like jet engine compressor cases,
    petrochemical furnace tubes, many military products, and other high-reliability
    applications.
    It is necessary when manufacturing a cast part by the true centrifugal metal casting
    process, using some mechanical means, to rotate the mold. When this process is used
    for industrial manufacture, this is accomplished by the use of rollers. The mold is
    rotated about its axis at a predetermined speed. Molds for smaller parts may be
    rotated about a vertical axis. However, most times in true centrifugal casting
    manufacture the mold will be rotated about a horizontal axis. The effects of gravity on
    the material during the metal casting process make it particularly necessary to cast
    longer parts with forces generated from horizontal rather than vertical rotation.

    PROCESS OF CENTRIFUGAL
    CASTING
    It can be seen that this casting process is very well suited for the manufacture of

    hollow cylindrical tubes. The forces used in this technique guarantee good
    adhesion of the casting material to the surface of the mold. Thickness of the cast
    part can be determined by the amount of material poured. The outer surface
    does not need to be round. Polygonal geometries such as squares and other
    shapes can be cast. However, due to the nature of the process, the inner surface
    of a part manufactured by true centrifugal casting must always be round.
    During the pouring and solidification phase of true centrifugal casting, the forces
    at work play a large roll in the properties of castings manufactured by this
    process. It can be seen that forces will be greater in the regions further away
    from the center of the axis of rotation. The greater forces towards the rim will
    cause the regions of the metal casting nearer the outer surface to have a higher
    density than the sections located nearer the inner surface.
    Most impurities within the material have a lower density than the metal itself,
    this causes them to collect in the inner regions of the metal casting, closer to the
    center of the axis of rotation. These impurities can be removed during the
    casting operation or they can be machined off later.

    QUALITY OF PRODUCT
    GOOD AND EXCELLENT SURFACE FINISHING
    OF PRODUCT
    MECHANICAL PROPERTIES IS EXCELLENT
    DIFFERENT WALL THICKNESS CAN BE
    PRODUCE BY THE SAME SIZE MOLD

    TYPES OF MATERIAL IN
    CENTRIFUGAL CASTING
    a) Material of Mould
    Moulds are made of steel, iron or graphite
    May coated with a refractory lining to increase mould life.
    b) Material of Casting
    The casting is usually a fine-grained casting with a very finegrained outer diameter, owing to chilling against the mold surface.
    Impurities and inclusions are thrown to the surface of the inside
    diameter, which can be machined away.
