At home and abroad, the centrifugal casting process is used in the metallurgy, mining, transportation, irrigation and drainage machinery, aviation, national defense, automobile and other industries to produce steel, iron and non-ferrous carbon alloy castings. Among them, the production of castings such as centrifugal cast iron tubes, internal combustion engine cylinder sleeves and shaft sleeves is the most common.
(6) Metal mold casting: refers to a molding method in which liquid metal fills a metal mold under the action of gravity and cools and solidifies in the mold to obtain a casting. Process flow: process characteristics and advantages: 1.

Can obtain castings with higher dimensional accuracy and lower surface roughness value, and good quality stability. 3. Because the sand core is not used and rarely used, it can improve the environment, reduce dust and harmful gases, and reduce labor intensity. Disadvantages: 1. The metal mold itself is not breathable, and certain measures must be taken to extract the air generated in the cavity and the gas generated by the sand core; 2. The metal mold has no concessions, and it is easy to crack when the casting is solidified; 3. The metal mold manufacturing The cycle is longer and the cost is higher. Therefore, it can only show good economic effects when it is produced in large quantities. Application: Metal mold casting is not only suitable for mass production of aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy and other non-ferrous alloy castings with complex shapes, but also suitable for the production of steel metal castings and ingots.
