Centrifugal casting (industrial)

Centrifugal casting is like when you spin around a toy top to make it go really fast. But instead of just being for fun, we use it to make things in industries like jewellery making or even car parts!

So, what happens is the thing we want to make is put in a special container that can spin really fast around a central point. This container is called a mold. We pour in some liquid metal or another material, like plastic or rubber. Then, we spin the mold really fast using a motor or another power source.

As the mold spins, the liquid material gets pushed towards the edges of the container because of the centrifugal force. This means that, over time, the material starts to harden on the inside of the mold. This creates the exact shape we want for our part!

Once the material is fully hardened, we stop the spinning and take out the finished part from the mold. We then clean it up, paint it, or do anything else we need to get it ready for use.

Centrifugal casting is really useful because it helps to create parts that are smooth and uniform in shape. This makes them easier to use and less likely to break. Plus, it's really cool to watch things spinning around really fast!
