Centrifugal casting improves yield over static casting by eliminating gates and risers, reducing cleaning time, and lowering metal waste and melt costs. It ensures uniform, directionally solidified castings with minimal internal porosity, due to effective separation of slag and lighter particles. Permanent molds also cut molding and core-making time.

The Process
Mold Preparation Phase
- The Mold is heated to temperature
- The Mold is Coated with a refractory material.
Casting Phase
- Molten Metal is poured into the spinning mold.
- The Metal solidifies and cools, often with the aid of water cooling, taking on the shape of the mold.
Extraction Phase
- The casting is removed from the mold.
