Centrifugal casting is a metal casting process where molten metal is poured into a spinning mold. Centrifugal force distributes the metal along the mold’s inner surface, resulting in cylindrical or tubular components.
The casting capacity of WELLE manufacturers including process, material, weight and size is listed as follows:
✧ Casting Process: Vacuum Casting, Investment Casting, Centrifugal casting, Sand Casting, Lost Foam Casting, Die Casting, NDT (Non-Destructive testing), Heat-treatment, Welding, CNC Machining.
✧ Casting Material: Nickel-Base Alloys, Alloy Steel, Inconel Alloy, Stainless Steel, Copper, Bronze, Aluminum Series, Cast Iron, SG Iron, other materials are available upon request.
✧ Casting Weight: 0.02kg – 2,000kg
✧ Size: 5mm – 3000mm
Process:
- Mold Preparation: A mold is designed to the desired shape, typically cylindrical.
- Rotation: The mold is rotated around its axis at high speeds.
- Metal Pouring: Molten metal is poured into the rotating mold.
- Centrifugal Force: Centrifugal force distributes the molten metal evenly, solidifying against the mold’s inner surface.
- Cooling and Extraction: The metal is allowed to cool, and the final part is extracted.
Quality Control Requirements: Centrifugal casting demands precise control over rotation speed, metal pouring rates, and cooling processes to ensure uniform thickness and minimal defects.
Applications: Commonly used for creating cylindrical or tubular parts with high structural integrity, such as pipes, tubes, rolls, and cylinders.
Industries:
- Petrochemical: Pipes, tubes, and fittings.
- Metallurgical: Rolls, sleeves, and cylinders for metal processing.
- Automotive: Cylinder liners, brake drums, and exhaust pipes.
Market Trends: Since 2024, the centrifugal casting market is expected to witness increased adoption in aerospace and energy sectors due to its ability to produce high-strength, defect-free components. Advancements in mold materials and rotational control technologies will likely contribute to enhanced casting precision and expanded applications across various industries.
