Centrifugal Casting is the spraying of the inside of the mould with a coating. This performs several functions including protecting the mould, aiding extraction and providing even chilling of the castings. For these reasons suitable mould coating material and spray equipment should be used.
Gibson Centri Tech Limited produces two types of mould coatings designed for centrifugal casting applications to assist traction on the coated surface, allowing an even flow of metal during the casting process, controlling cooling rates and enabling ease of extraction of the casting.
