Abstract
Equipment (3) for centrifugal casting from a crucible (5) into a mold (8) is modified by the addition of agitation means (19) movable relative to the crucible (5) and a heating furnace (30) which is movable relative to the mold (8) in order to heat the latter, before casting, to a temperature close to that of the alloy in the thixotropic state.
