Centrifugal casting (silversmithing)

Centrifugal casting in silversmithing is a casting technique where a small mould is poured, then spun on the end of an arm. The centrifugal force thus generated encourages a successful pour.

Centrifugal casting (industrial)

Centrifugal casting or rotocasting is a casting technique that is typically used to cast thin-walled cylinders. It is used to cast such materials as metal, glass, and concrete. It is noted for the high quality of the results attainable, particularly for precise control of their metallurgy and crystal structure. Unlike most other casting techniques, centrifugal casting is chiefly used to manufacture stock materials in standard sizes for further machining, rather than shaped parts tailored to a particular end-use.

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
