Abstract: Ti6Al4V hip joint was foundered and the filling process of the melt poured in permanent mould during the centrifugal casting process was analyzed and the mathematical model of the filling process was established. Furthermore, the mathematical model was validated with a wax-model experiment. Calculating results show that the centrifugal field has an important influence on the filling process and the melt fills the mould with variational cross-sectional area and inclined angle. The cross-sectional area is in inverse proportion to the filling speed and its decreasing speed becomes fast with increasing rotating speed. The tangential value of the melt cross-sectional free-surface inclined angle is in direct proportion to the filling speed and the inclined angle increases with the filling length. Change curves of the cross-sectional inclined angle and area were obtained by the wax-model experiment when the rotating speeds were 60, 90 and 120 r/min respectively, which shows that the mathematical model is consistent with the experimental results.
