Donrex's centrifugal casting process is often the most cost effective technology for producing very high quality ring, tube and cylindrical shaped castings with exceptional material properties and soundness, comparable to forgings.
Cost savings are achieved by casting close to the finish dimensions of the part resulting in a drastic reduction of machining time by not having to remove large amounts of stock.
Centrifugal Casting Key Points:
Exceptional quality ring, tube, and cylindrical shaped castings
Cast under pressure to ensure sound material
Mechanical properties comparable to forgings
Ability to cast up to 70" diameter with a finish weight up to 2,800 lbs
Can be made as straight wall or shaped - casting in flanges, bosses, tapers, steps and through-holes
Cost Advantages:
Ability to drastically your machining cost by casting closer to net-shape
Semi-machined turning performed by us to save time and set-up cost
We have existing tooling in place for most straight wall dimensions needed
Low order quantity requirements which offer a big advantage on high alloys
