Manufacture of centrifugal Castings from iron and non-iron alloys

The thesis describes and characterizes the foundry method of centrifugal casting, which was established in the 16th century. Based on a literature study of centrifugal casting and centrifugal force, the principle of centrifugal casting is described. Centrifugal casting can be divided according to the position of the axis of rotation to horizontal and vertical or by the method of right centrifugal casting, semi-centrifugal casting, centrifugal casting, or Tekcast method. The most basic and most common centrifugal casting product is a pipe. The pipe production is progressing from material melting, pre-operation machine preparation, casting and solidification of the melt, to adjusting and finishing of the pipe. We can cast centrifugally a several of materials, especially steel, cast iron, copper, zinc, aluminum and titanium. Centrifugal casting can also cast multilayer castings
