Question

Which of the following types of centrifugal casting process is used for the casting, whose shape of casting is not axi-symmetric?

(a) True centrifugal casting

(b) Semi centrifugal casting

(c) Centrifuging

(d) Full centrifugal casting

I have been asked this question during an internship interview.

I need to ask this question from Centrifugal Casting in section Special Casting Techniques of Casting-Forming-Welding I

Answer 1

The correct answer is (c) Centrifuging

Explanation: Centrifuging is a process which is used in order to obtain higher metal pressures during solidification when the shapes of the casting are not axi-symmetrical. This process is mainly suitable for small jobs of any shape. In this method, a number of small jobs are joined together in a radial manner and then the further process of casting is done.
