2.5.9 TRUE CENTRIFUGAL CASTING

1. In true centrifugal casting, hollow cylindrical parts (such as pipes, gun barrels,
bushings, engine-cylinder liners, bearing rings with or without flanges, and streetlamp
posts) are produced.
2. Castings with good quality, dimensional accuracy, and external surface detail are
produced by this process.

3. Figure 3.13 (a) shows the schematic illustration of the centrifugal-casting process.
4. Figure 3.13 (b) shows the side view of the machine.

Figure 2.13 Schematic illustration of the centrifugal casting process. Pipes, cylinder liners,
and similarly shaped parts can be cast with this process.
