In centrifugal casting, a permanent mold is rotated continuously at high speeds (300 to 3000 rpm) as the molten metal is poured. The molten metal spreads along the inside mold wall, where it solidifies after cooling. The casting is usually a fine-grained casting with an especially fine-grained outer diameter, due to the rapid cooling at the ...
Spin casting, also known as centrifugal rubber mold casting (CRMC), is a method of utilizing inertia to produce castings from a rubber mold. Typically, a disc-shaped ...
Centrifugal casting is a metallurgical manufacturing process by casting that may refer to either: Centrifugal casting (industrial), on an industrial scale;
Centrifugal (a key concept in rotating systems) may refer to: Centrifugal casting (industrial) , Centrifugal casting (silversmithing) , and Spin casting (centrifugal rubber mold casting), forms of centrifigual casting
In 2014, ESCO acquired another Texas-based company, Stabiltec Downhole Tools, LLC., [4] further adding to the company's oil and gas portfolio.

Centrifugal casting, or centrifuging, [1] is used as a means of casting small, detailed parts or jewelry. [2] An articulated arm is free to spin around a vertical axle, which is driven by an electric motor or a spring. The entire mechanism is enclosed in a tub or drum to contain hot metal should the mold break or an excess of metal be used.
