Application Profile:
Wrought equivalent 6061-T6
Application:
Housing for high-pressure drive motor. Integral cooling passages provide for uniform, leak-proof temperature control.
Why Centrifugals?
High material integrity and strength are required combined with specialty finished machining. Application demands cooling passages in component wall which are formed in-place during centrifugal processing.
