Compare Casting to Forgings
Fancase Mandrel - The use of centrifugal castings in tooling of large round components has increased tool life by 5x compared to fabricated assemblies, because of a centrifugal casting's tendency to retain its round shape.
Meat Grinding Tube - A meat grinding customer replaced forgings with centrifugals because the multi-directional grain structure of the centrifugal prevented cracking that the unidirectional grain structure of forgings experienced under high stress.
Shaft Sleeves - Early alloy development and homogeneous grain structure have established MetalTek as the world's leading producer of naval shaft sleeves.
