By
solidifying uniformly under high pressure, centrifugals combine
the chemical and mechanical property capability of forgings with
the cost efficiency of traditional castings. Furthermore, the defect-free
tight grain structure of centrifugal castings makes them well suited
for pressure containing and anodized applications. JBM optimizes
this technology with custom chemistry, versatile casting and complete
machining capabilities.

Centrifugal forming is also far superior to a sand casting!
-
The centrifugal process directional solidification avoids porosity
and inclusions associated with centerline shrinkage defects in
sand castings.
- The
material used to riser the centrifugal process is fed to the casting
at 60 times the force used to feed a sand casting.
- The
solidification is fed by a huge surface area of high pressure
molten metal rather than through a complex network of narrow gates
and risers.
- Our
centrifugal process uses solid, high chill rate mold materials
rather than pressed and glued particulate molds.
- Surface
examination of a machined centrifugal can completely qualify a
part contrasted with expensive radiographic, ultrasonic or magnetic
particle inspection required to determine the soundness of a sand
casting.
