<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a centrifugal casting apparatus in which a melting furnace is disposed away from a turing arm on which a centrifugal force acts, and which can perform unidirectional solidification under an action of a large centrifugal force. <P>SOLUTION: The centrifugal casting apparatus includes: a melting furnace 2 for melting metal within a heat-resistant container 5; a conveying unit 3 for taking out the heat-resistant container 5 from the melting furnace 2 and for conveying the taken out heat-resistant container 5; and a turning arm 4 provided with a container holding case 6 at one end thereof, rotatably connected between a vertical position and a horizontal position, and having both a storage space for storing the heat-resistant container 5 conveyed from the melting furnace 2 by means of the conveying unit 3 and a heat-resistant member for keeping the temperature of the heat-resistant container 5, and also having a first cooling unit 22 for cooling only the bottom section of the heat-resistant container 5 stored in the storage space and a second cooling unit 23 for cooling only the side wall sections of the heat-resistant container 5, and provided with a weight adjusting case 8 at the other end thereof for storing a balancing weight 36 for adjusting weight with the one end of the turning arm, wherein the turning arm is turnably disposed turning around the center position on the line connecting the one end to the other end as a turning axis. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
