Centrifugal Casting

Spuncast, Inc. specializes in centrifugal casting where molten metal is cast into a mold which is rapidly spinning during the pouring and cooling steps.

Molds for centrifugal casting are commonly permanent steel molds, shaped as hollow tubes with partially capped ends.
Expendable sand molds are sometimes used for very large and/or single run castings.
No cores are needed or used in the centrifugal casting of tubes and hollow cylinders.
Centrifugal force holds the metal against the mold wall and forms the interior bore.

Metal Pour into a Horizontal Centrifugal Mold

Centrifugal casting is particularly suited for the production of cylindrical shapes and can be done in a vertical or horizontal orientation.
