Many parts either for sea-line pipes as “buckle” or “crack arrestor,” or for structures may require the use of wall tubular products with high mechanical properties. Such heavy-wall pipes may be produced by centrifugal casting. Two Mn-Mo steels have been developed for medium-wall pipes (e≤35 mm) to be used under very severe climatic conditions: an acicular ferritic steel, a pearlite reduced steel produced by controlled rolling techniques [1, 2, 3]. More alloyed chemical composition and heat-treatments are needed to produce heavy-wall pipes. Then, production of such pipes is more difficult and sometimes impossible. Observations made on controlled-rolled Mn-Mo steel led to a better understanding of the influence of metallurgical structures and chemical composition on steel characteristics. Similar metallurgical structures can only be reached via other routes, for example centrifugal-casting of steel associated with heat-treatment, lead to the production of heavy-wall pipes with high strength and suitable transition temperature. After a brief description of the centrifugal casting technique, we introduce the grades developed for heavy-wall pipes with yield strength up to 100,000 psi. The mechanical properties, Battelle, fatigue, static bending, C.O.D., weldability, etc., of Centrishore II are given and compared to other materials. Possible offshore applications and other potential applications of parts produced by centrifugal casting are described.

More than 70% of mechanical parts in a wide range of engineering fields fail by fatigue. In addition, centrifugal casting is identified as the most effective casting technique for production of high performance cylindrical parts. In this regard, the present work aims to investigate the fatigue behavior of series 3000 Al with addition of 26 wt% Cu produced through horizontal centrifugal casting method. Microstructure characterizations are precisely studied using scanning transmission electron microscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy in conjunction with image analyzer software. Also, compressive behavior, hardness, coefficient of thermal expansion, and wear rate ( Wr) are measured applying Zwick Z100, Vickers hardness, DIL 805A/D, and pin-on-disc machines, respectively. The results indicate that the main intermetallic compound is Al2Cu-based particle, and a volume fraction of 31 vol.% is obtained. Besides, the compressive strength of 460 MPa, elastic modulus of 10.986 GPa, hardness of 152 HV, coefficient of thermal expansion of 1.7 × 10−5 1/°C, and wear resistance of 3.3 × 10−6 g/mm2 are measured. Finally, the four-point bending fatigue test is performed and the fatigue ratio of 0.109 at about 106 cycles to failure is obtained.

Functionally Graded Materials (FGM) is a newly evolved concept to get desired properties in the material wherein the intermediate layer is transient since the particle size distribution gradually changes. Centrifugal casting [1] can produce only hollow shapes and Centrifuge casting can produce solid shape FGM very effectively. The study of particle distribution in a fluid using centrifuge casting process is carried out considering sand as particle and its distribution is studied under water, for different viscosity values and for viscosity varying with respect to temperature. Based on centrifugal force and density difference, an attempt has been made to mathematically model the centrifuge casting force to estimate the particle distribution over the length of the specimen and also to assess the influence of process parameters such as rotational speed (G-force) and density of the particles.

The purpose of this study is to make the Ti-Ni-Zr specimen using casting method from P/M ingot and evaluates the shape memory behavior. All samples were square rod shape made by centrifugal casting. The size of all samples was 1 mm wide, 1.3 mm height and 37.5 mm length. The transformation behavior during cooling and heating was investigated using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The phase constituent was determined by XRD analysis from 20 °C to 150 °C. Mechanical properties of the shape memory effects were measured using a tensile machine at 25 °C. The samples were annealed at 400 °C, 500 °C and 600 °C for 3.6 ks followed by water quenching. After annealing, specimens were cold rolled at 0 % (no rolling) and 10 %. The Ti-Ni-Zr square rod specimens are fabricated by centrifugal casting using P/M ingot. All samples had shape memory behavior. From DSC measurement, the highest reverse martensitic transformation temperature is 120 °C. From tensile test, the Luders like deformation stress were not constant and dependence of heat treatment conditions was not clarified. However, 10% cold rolling specimen, shape memory characteristics were stabilized.

Hollow Cylinders

In this investigation, the mechanical behavior of sandwich hollow cylinders under internal pressure is carried out numerically. Functionally Graded (FG) foam core sandwich hollow cylinders are fabricated by employing filament winding technique with [±55] carbon fiber/epoxy as skins with the FG foam core made using centrifugal casting technique of polyurethane foam with epoxy resin. A finite element (FE) model is developed employing a FE commercial code to determine the stresses and deformations. Numerical analysis is performed to find the effect of one particular functional grading on the deformation and stresses. The results are compared with similar tubes using uniform PU foam core. The results show that grading the foam core affects the displacements and stresses in a significant way. The FG foam sandwich core tube possesses a lower displacement magnitude and higher maximum stresses taking into account the mass of the two types of pipes and rigidity compared to uniform PU foam core under internal pressure of 10 MPa.
