Abstract

Different designs of metal receivers for casting with melt centrifugation are investigated theoretically and experimentally. It is established that metal receivers of conventional designs with a sharp turn of the flow by 90° do not provide the required mode of filling the mold because of the loss of the initial dynamic force, the sliding of the melt past by the orifices of the collectors, and the appearance of the turbulent flow mode. The configuration of a confusor-type metal receiver, which makes it possible to eliminate the mentioned disadvantages and increase the discharge coefficient to 0.6–0.8, is suggested. The main constructive parameters for this metal receiver are optimized.
