Centrifugal casting process
molten metal is poured into a hollow cylindrical mold spinning about a horizontal axis. The centrifugal force distributes the molten metal and shapes it into a tubular/cylindrical forms. The high forces involved in this casting method means that the less dense materials including impurities are forced into the center where they can be subsequently removed and gas related defects and shrinkage porosity are reduced thus parts made from centrifugal casting exhibit denser, closer grained structure with improved physical qualities such as tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and uniformity.
