 Centrifugal casting was the
invention of Alfred Krupp,
who used it to manufacture
cast steel tyres for railway
wheels in 1852.
 The conception of
centrifugal force has evolved
since the time of Huygens,
Newton, Leibniz, and Hooke
who expressed early
conceptions of it.
is a casting technique that is typically used to cast thin-
walled cylinders.
is a metal casting process that produces a very high quality
product.
consists of producing castings by causing molten metal to
solidify in rotating moulds.
The speed of the rotation and metal pouring rate vary with
the alloy and size and shape being cast.
The centrifugal force is obtained by rotating the mold at a
speed of 300 to 3000 rpm while the molten metal is being
introduced.

The main applications for the centrifugal process
are tubular or ring shaped castings.
Typical parts made by this process are pipes,
boilers, pressure vessels, flywheels, and other
parts that are axi-symmetric.
It is notably used to cast cylinder liners and sleeve
valves for piston engines.

Also known as centrifugal rubber mold casting (CRMC).
(explaination)the main features of spin casting process is
the use of rubber mold and employing centrifugal force for
casting. During the solidification process the mold spins
on it central axis till the metal solidifies in the mold.
is a widely used non-expendable process, for casting
products that have excellent details and surface finish.
it is ideal for quickly and economically producing
numerous fully functional, fragile in metal or plastics.
