Advantages of Centrifugal Casting

Advantages of Centrifugal Casting

The Advantages of Centrifugal Casting are:

Reduction of Equipment Cost

Centrifugal casting offers a substantial saving on capital equipment when compared to forged products.

Reduction of manufacturing costs

The uniformity resulting from the centrifugal casting process means that machining time and material waste are significantly reduced. Blowholes, sand residue, hard spots, cavities and porosity are virtually eliminated.

Improved product life

Due to finer grain and denser structure with centrifugally cast parts there is an increased usage life, grater endurance and impact without fracturing.

Fewer rejects

The force used to distribute the molten metal as it is poured is so strong it displaces the lighter oxides and impurities to the centre of the hollow cylinder. It is then easy to remove these impurities.

Flexibility

 The centrifugal process allows economical production of a wide range of sizes, shapes and quantities.
