Abstract: 
Axis-symmetric products are often made by means of centrifugal casting, which involves heating and transferring molten metal into a rapidly rotating mould. Centrifugal casting defects are mostly associated with the solidification process. However, when employing experimental techniques for centrifugal casting, determining the process of solidification pace and duration is quite challenging. Simulations may be used to analyze and optimize operational conditions.
