Main features Centrifugal casting process, in metallic tooling under very high acceleration, is a casting under centrifugal pressure. This pressure creates within the alloy a very important degassing which rejects towards the bore all the impurities which may be contained in a liquid metal melt. The one-direction cooling and solidification of the alloy are perfectly controlled. Vertical centrifugal casting The heavy pieces, whose diameter is generally important compared to the length, are produced on vertical centrifugal casting machines.   Horizontal centrifugal casting The long pieces are produced on horizontal centrifugal casting machines.   Main advantages You can obtain alloys which are/have: Fine structured, Sound and compact, Perfectly homogeneous, Free from blowholes and inclusions, Very high mechanical properties (the highest you can obtain by any foundry process). Pieces produced are: Easily machined, Without any distortion, Even more corrosion and wear resistant. The combination 'induction melting and centrifugal casting process' leads especially as far as austenoferritic steels are concerned, to very high quality levels, similar to those obtained on pieces cast under vacuum or with AOD converter.
