离心铸造（centrifugal casting） centrifugal casting Principle and characteristics of centrifugal casting Centrifugal casting is the injection of liquid metal into a high speed rotating mold that fills the mold and forms the casting under the action of centrifugal force. Centrifugal force: the free surface of the liquid metal can be well formed and full mold casting in the radial direction; without core can be obtained within the cylindrical hole; to exclude the help of gases and inclusions in liquid metal; effect of metal crystallization process, thereby improving the mechanical properties and physical properties of castings. The common centrifugal casting can be divided into horizontal centrifugal casting and vertical centrifugal casting according to the spatial position of the rotating axis of the casting. The centrifugal casting of the rotating axis of the mold in a horizontal state or at a small angle (4 degrees) between the horizontal line is called horizontal centrifugal casting, and three examples of horizontal centrifugal casting are shown in figure 2-18. The centrifugal casting in which the rotating axis of the casting is in a vertical state is called vertical centrifugal casting. As shown in Figure 2-19, there are two examples of vertical centrifugal casting. The centrifugal casting of the casting rotation axis with a larger angle between the horizontal and vertical lines is called the inclined shaft centrifugal casting, but it is seldom used. (Fig. 2-18 examples of three horizontal centrifugal casting) (Figure 2-19 two vertical centrifugal casting) Compared with gravity casting, centrifugal casting has the advantages as follows: 1) casting of high density, porosity, slag and other defects, high mechanical properties; 2) the production of hollow castings without core, so in the production of long tube shaped castings can be greatly improved metal filling ability, reduce the casting wall thickness the length or diameter ratio, simplifying process of production an
