    Centrifugal Casting Process For Mechanical Seals

    Uploaded by

    Prasad
    1. Centrifugal casting is a process where molten metal is poured into a rapidly rotating mold, using centrifugal force to spread the metal evenly. This results in a hollow cylindrical casting with very fine grain size and uniform microstructure after solidification. 2. Mechanical properties of centrifugally cast parts are often superior to static casting due to the finer grain structure, which improves wear resistance, toughness, and other properties. 3. Testing shows that centrifugally cast iron surfaces have greater resistance to scuffing than other casting processes, due to the material's fine microstructure of pearlite and graphite flakes distributed by the centrifugal process.
