Specialized Castings offers no bake molding services for castings that require high metallurgical integrity. We utilize this process to produce castings ranging from 2 lbs to 4000 lbs with mold sizes up to 8′ x 12′. Our services add value to your business by reducing energy, machining and finishing cost. Specialized Castings achieves this through the control of metal quality, thickness, and by eliminating hard spots and other defects. We can produce no-bake molds with typical draft angles of 2+ degrees with corner radii and fillets as required.
No Bake Molding has Proven It’s Worth
As an efficient means to produce low and medium volumes of complex castings. Depending on the quality and size of the tooling and part configuration, typical casting tolerances are within +/-.020″, with obtainable tolerances within +/-.015″. The dimensional accuracy and surface finish of no-bake molds are typically superior to that of the levels achieved with the greensand process and often approaches the levels attained in permanent and die cast parts.
The no-bake process produces a mold of considerable strength and allows for a much larger and intricate casting. The solid sand structure allows the mold to be literally built from individual pieces allowing for very complex castings. No bake molds are best suited for large and heavy castings since the mold strength allows for greater metal weights to be cast.
