Investigation of the factors affecting the heat transfer mechanism of the centrifugal material casting

Abstract

Abstract The material casting by centrifugal technique has several potential advantages over the traditional casting methods such as; time saving, accurate dimensions, good surface finishing, purities, faster solidification, and porosity. The heat transfer mechanisms of the centrifugal material casting technique is presently investigated because of its great influences in the productivity, facilities life and production energy of that technique. Consequently, the current study provides a semi-comprehensive analytical and experimental investigation for the heat transfer mechanisms of the centrifugal material casting. The present work shows that the thermophysical properties of the casting material, the rotational speeds of the centrifugal mold and the types of the centrifugal technique have deeply affected the centrifugal heat transfer mechanism. Eventually, the developing and improving the cooling systems of the centrifugal molds are indeed needs due to modify the material casting by centrifugal techniques.
