  2. Centrifugal casting (industrial) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_casting...

    Centrifugal casting is particularly suited as they behave in the manner of shallow flat castings relative to the direction of the centrifugal force. Centrifugal casting is also used to manufacture disk and cylinder shaped objects such as railway carriage wheels or machine fittings where grain, flow, and balance are important to the durability ...

  3. Spin casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_casting

    During the casting process, the finished mold spins along its central axis for anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes depending upon the chosen casting material. Internally, a spin casting machine or spin caster consists of a motor and pressure clamping system, which holds and positions the mold properly while it spins at a steady rate.

  4. Centrifugal casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_casting

    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

    Lost wax casting can be dated back to 4000 BC or the Chalcolithic period. [4] One of the oldest studied examples of this technique is a 6,000-year old amulet from Indus valley civilization. [9] India is attributed as one of the first civilizations to use casting methods to mass produce coins.

  7. Pattern (casting) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_(casting)

    The "method" thus ensures the molten metal is delivered, the mould filled correctly, and the risers filled to "feed" the "shrinking volume" of liquid to the casting during solidification. This "method" is done by a "methods engineer", who may be a patternmaker (with additional training), a founding engineer, or metallurgist who is familiar with ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_casting_simulation

    In addition to the main aspects of casting production – filling, crystallization, and porosity prediction, ProCAST is capable of predicting the occurrence of deformations and residual stresses in the casting and can be used to analyze processes such as core making, centrifugal casting, lost wax casting, continuous casting. [32]

  9. Directional solidification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_solidification

    Directional solidification is the preferred technique for casting high temperature nickel-based superalloys that are used in turbine engines of aircraft. Some microstructural problems such as coarse dendritic structure, long dendrite side branches, and porosity hinder the full potential of single crystal ni-based alloys. [ 6 ]
