In the centrifugal casting process, molten metal is poured into a spinning die. The die can be spinning either on a vertical or horizontal axis depending on the configuration of the desired part. Ring and cylinder type shapes are cast vertically; tubular shapes are made with the horizontal centrifugal process. Either process may be used to produce multiple parts from just one casting.

Because of the high g-forces applied to the molten metal in the spinning die, less dense material, including impurities, "floats" to the I.D. where it is subsequently removed by machining. Solidification is managed directionally under pressure, from the O.D. to the I.D., avoiding any mid-wall shrinkage, leaving a defect-free structure without cavities or gas pockets.

Structure and properties of inner and outer surface of centrifugal casting?

In centrifugal casting, the outer surface is typically smoother than the inner surface due to the centrifugal force exerted during the process, which pushes impurities towards the inner surface. The outer surface also tends to have a finer grain structure compared to the inner surface. The inner surface may exhibit greater porosity and can be more susceptible to defects due to the cooling process occurring more rapidly on this surface.

Are centrifugal force and Reactive Centrifugal force the same thing?

Reactive centrifugal force is not the same thing as centrifugal force. Reactive centrifugal force is the reaction force. It is the reaction force reacting to a centripetal force.

What is the difference between semi centrifugaal and centrifugal casting?

The basic difference is that rotation is a vital feature in centrifugal casting, if not emplyed, the casting won't be produced at all, whereas in SCC, we rotate the mould because - 1. Rotation of mould aids in the directional solidification of molten metal. 2. The centrifugal forces push the molten metal into complex parts of the cavity, and 3. The impurities easily get collected near the central core. The mould would still be able to cast the molten metal, but rotating it only makes a better casting. There are some other differences, like, Core is used in SCC, it may/may not be used in CC. SCC used for more complex shapes, while CC is used mostly used making hollow objects like pipes, tubes and bushes. SCC uses a vertical axis, whereas tcc may use a horizontal or vertical or inclined axis. Rotating speeds are lower in SCC compared to tcc.
