Centrifugal Casting (other)
Centrifugal casting is a metallurgical manufacturing process by casting that may refer to either: * Centrifugal casting (industrial), on an industrial scale * Centrifugal casting (silversmithing), for a smaller scale See also: Spin casting Spin or spinning most often refers to: * Spin (physics) or particle spin, a fundamental property of elementary particles * Spin quantum number, a number which defines the value of a particle's spin * Spinning (textiles), the creation of yarn or thr ...

Centrifugal Casting (industrial)
Centrifugal casting or rotocasting is a casting technique that is typically used to cast thin-walled cylinders. It is typically used to cast materials such as metals, glass, and concrete. A high quality is attainable by control of metallurgy and crystal structure. Unlike most other casting techniques, centrifugal casting is chiefly used to manufacture rotational symmetry, rotationally symmetric stock materials semi-finished casting products, in standard sizes for further machining, rather than shaped parts tailored to a particular end-use. Materials Typical materials that can be centrifugal cast are metals, cements, concretes, glass, and pottery materials. Typical metals cast are iron, steel, stainless steels, and alloys of nickel alloys, nickel, aluminum alloys, aluminum, and copper alloys, copper, magnesium. Two materials can be combined by introducing a second material during the process. A common example is cast iron pipe coated on the interior with cement. Process for cas ...

Centrifugal Casting (silversmithing)
In silversmithing, centrifugal casting is a casting technique where a small mould is poured, then spun on the end of an arm. The centrifugal force thus generated encourages a successful pour. Processes Centrifugal casting, or ''centrifuging'',Efunda site page with centrifugal casting fundamentals
is used as a means of casting small, detailed parts or jewelry. An articulated arm is free to spin around a vertical axle, which is driven by an electric motor or a spring. The entire mechanism is enclosed in a tub or drum to contain hot metal should the mold break or an excess of metal be used. Single use molds are prepared using the lost wax method. A small amoun ...
