About
Green Sand Casting
This sand-casting process offers a versatile and economic option for high-volume, complex runs, as well as low-volume, customized runs. Sand casting is the process of pouring molten aluminum into a mold cavity formed in sand that is bonded by clay and water. Sure Cast produces castings ranging in size from ounces up to 60 pounds.

About
No-Bake Sand Casting
No-bake sand casting, also known as air-set sand casting or chemically bonded sand casting, is a versatile and modern method for producing aluminum castings. Unlike traditional green sand casting, this process doesn’t require baking the molds, making it more time-efficient. The process begins with creating a pattern, typically made of wood, plastic, or metal, that represents the final shape of the casting. The mold is then prepared using a two-piece flask, with one half called the cope and the other called the drag. A mixture of silica sand and a chemical binding agent is used to form the sand mold around the pattern.
The sand mixture is cured at room temperature, allowing the chemical binder to harden and provide the necessary strength to withstand the molten metal during pouring. Once cured, the pattern is removed, leaving a negative impression in the sand mold. If required, cores can be inserted into the mold to create internal features. The molten aluminum is poured into the mold, filling the cavity. After cooling and solidification, the mold is opened, and the sand is broken apart to reveal the solid aluminum casting. The casting is then finished by removing excess material and performing additional processes like machining and surface treatments.
No-bake sand casting offers benefits such as greater dimensional accuracy, the ability to produce complex shapes, and excellent surface finishes. It is widely used in various industries for low to medium volume production runs and is suitable for casting a range of aluminum alloys. The process provides a cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional green sand casting, making it a popular choice for various aluminum casting applications.
