The mould speeds are a foundamental factor which influence on the mechanical properties of the centrifugal steel castings, but also, size of wall thickness of the parts is greatly one of foundamental factcrs.
Mechanical properties of centrifugal tubular steel castings causes the various phenomena in connecting with the mould speeds of from 1110 to 1600 r.p.m and size of wall thickness of from 20 to 30mm, and may be able to state the outline on plane carbon steel castings (C=0.24%) and copper steel castings (C=0.24%, Cu=1.15%) in Connecting with the mould speeds and wall thickness of the castings as follows:
① When the wall thickness of the parts is constant but thin wall thickness, the more mould speeds increases, the more centrifugal force enlarges, but the acting times on the parts are shartened. Accordingly, solidifying and cooling rate quicken and mechanical properties has brittleness.
And if wall thickness is thick wall, the more mould speeds increase, the more centrifugal forces enlarge and grain size is refined. Moreover, solidifying and cooling rate is a little mitigated than for the parts with thin wall thickness. Therefore, mechanical properties are improved.
② When teh mould was rotated with constant speed and also has low speeds, if the parts has thick wall, refining of grain size is imposible and mechanical properties are not improved so that solidifying and cooling rate has controled with the wall thickness. But the mould speeds to improved mechanical properties of the castings must be suitable one for the wall thickness of the castings if the mould has high speed.
③ Segregation of carbon does not influence on mechanical properties but segregation of copper influences on mechanical properties, severly.
