Hi Stuart "sorry to go OT in your thread " ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,No worries you go for it :thumbup: ,, i am all up for hearing about how things were cast and how things were done and i am sure others are . I have seen pipes centrifugally cast at another foundry i used to go to ,,, as you say it is worth watching ,,, they were making short lengths of thick wall, high spec nickel alloy tubes ,, the mould was spun up and the alloy pored in until the excess metal and any slag flew out all over ,,, the gaffa explained that centrifugal casting gave a much finer grain structure to the metal :smart: i think they use the same method to produce piston rings . :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: John ,,,, nope there seams to be more after i have had a few :beer: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Rob |

Dunno ... one's short and fat, seriously over-square. T'others sort of skinny ... both gormless and noisy. Try THICK ... that'll be a good approximation.. :lol: Dave BC |
