Centrifugal casting is unique in the foundry industry. The process requires a special mix of knowledge, practices, and skills that differ greatly from other types of foundry operations.

In Goldens’ centrifugal casting process, molten iron is poured into a hollow cylindrical mold spinning on a horizontal or vertical axis at speeds generating 40 to 70 Gs of centrifugal force. This force distributes the molten metal, promotes directional solidification, and improves casting integrity by forcing impurities to the inside surface.

When the casting has cooled, it is removed from the mold. Castings may be machined in follow-up processing to produce defect-free components with excellent properties.

Through our expertise, you can expect improved physical qualities, longer life, less rejects, lower production costs, and flexible production scheduling.

Typical applications include brake drum liners, cylinder liners, flanges, hoist drums, impellers and blades, pulleys and sheaves.
