Steel shell and centrifuge cast braking surface technology
Our higher carbon steel shell is precision formed and we’ve also added knurling to the interior of the shell to provide the best fusion between the shell and gray iron. The shell is then mounted in a high-speed rotating fixture and the gray iron material is poured into the shell braking surface area.
