Centrifugal Casting Mold
A centrifugal casting mold is a rotating metal die used to cast cylindrical products — ductile iron pipe, poles, cylinder liners, rolls and alloy tubes — by spinning molten metal against its bore. Machined from forged alloy steel with deep-hole bored and honed internal surfaces, these molds include DI pole molds, chill molds for cast roll production, and alloy tube molds.

One mold family, many cast products
The same forged-body, machined-bore construction serves several centrifugal casting applications. What changes is the bore profile, wall section and thermal management: a water-jacketed DI pipe mold, a heavy-wall chill mold for roll casting, and a coated pole mold each have distinct design rules — all are machined from vacuum-degassed forged alloy steel here.
Documentation
Every mold ships with a mill test certificate (EN 10204 3.1), full-body UT record, hardness readings and a bore dimensional report, so incoming inspection at your plant is a formality rather than a project.
- Which products can be cast in your molds?
- Ductile iron pressure pipe, lighting and utility poles cast in DI, indefinite-chill and alloy rolls (using chill molds), and centrifugally cast alloy tubes such as furnace rolls and radiant tubes.
- Can you manufacture from a sample mold instead of drawings?
- Yes. Worn molds can be measured and reverse-engineered, including bore profile and socket geometry, with the report returned for your approval before machining starts.
- What HS code applies to centrifugal casting molds?
- Like DI pipe molds, centrifugal casting molds for metal fall under HS 8480.49 — molds for metal or metal carbides.
