Title: Mathematical simulation of centrifugal casting of pipes

Journal Article · · Heat Transfer - Sov. Res.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6537869

A mathematical description of centrifugal casting of long pipes in rapidly-rotating ingot molds is given. The effect of gravity force is neglected. A numerical solution is obtained for the solidification of a steel casting in a thermally insulated mold. The effect of the rate of metal pouring on the motion of the solidification interface is investigated. The disagreement with experimental data is less then 7 percent.
