Sažetak
This paper describes the vertical centrifugal casting process of austenitic stainless steel tube. The factors analysed were mould rotation speed, mould preheating temperature, and pouring temperature. The design of experiment was conducted using Design Expert software. For optimization, Fractional Two – Level Factorial Design 23 was made, which resulted in eight runs. Solidification time was observed as the response. Results were obtained through computer simulations using the ProCAST software. The statistical significance of all factors was established by analysis of variance (ANOVA), and the resulting model showed good statistical properties and it can be considered reliable for predicting future results of the vertical centrifugal casting process. This analysis can serve as a basis for further planning and research in the production of castings by the vertical centrifugal casting process.
