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).
