Once you have your mold made, the material of your choice is poured into the mold. From here the mold begins to rotate, this is where the centrifugal force is applied which pushes the denser liquids to the outside of the mold resulting in an even coat around the entire mold. Once this has been completed, the mold is allowed to cool, and once cooled, the mold is opened revealing the desired product.

As stated before, the resulting product can take any number of forms. Centrifugal casting is even common in the jewelry industry for small scale production, also known as silversmithing. The reason why centrifugal casting is so sought after in the manufacturing world is that, due to the centrifugal force, the finished product has an even thickness throughout the entire product. Centrifugal casting is often used to manufacture boilers, flywheels, industrial pipes, pressure vessels, and so many other industrial products.

Understanding what you need from your centrifugal casting manufacturer is almost as important as finding the right manufacturer for your job. The centrifugal casting process allows for a variety of materials to be used from glass to metal alloys, so seek out a manufacturer that specializes or has experience working with the material that you desire for your finished product. Finding the right manufacturer is the first step to receiving the perfect centrifugal casting for your application.
