Notes:
On this paper, a study that evaluates the influence of some variables on the mechanicalproperties of the vertical centrifugal casting is made. It is emphasized the fact that the centrifugaleffect from vertical centrifugal casting brings special features on mechanical properties. It has beenobserved that the centrifugal effect may substantially increase, in some alloys, the rupture strength,rupture strain, and Young modulus, as compared to the gravity casting technique. When comparedto gravity casting, the centrifugal casting process, besides the centrifugal force (pressure effect),always has an inherent associated vibration during the casting. In this study, as an attempt to isolatethe vibration effect from the overall centrifugal effect, tests on castings obtained by vibratinggravity casting process are made. A comparison between castings obtained by centrifugal castingtechnique, vibrating casting technique and gravity casting technique is made in order to fullyunderstand the features that allow the improvement on mechanical properties during the verticalcentrifugal casting technique. An analysis of the most important effects, on both mechanicalproperties and on some metallurgical features is made
