NINGBO, China - As industrial integrity becomes paramount, Bessercast, a premier global casting manufacturer, is setting new benchmarks for the foundry industry. With over 23 years of expertise, the Ningbo-based powerhouse has evolved into a comprehensive engineering partner, mastering Silica Sol Investment Casting and Vacuum Casting for the aerospace, automotive, and energy sectors. Operating from a 45,000-square-meter facility, Bessercast blends traditional craftsmanship with automation, ensuring mission-critical, zero-defect components are delivered seamlessly to partners across North America, Europe, and Asia.
The Gold Standard: Superior Silica Sol Investment Casting
Being a specialized manufacturer of castings, Bessercast has focused on the Silica Sol Lost Wax Casting process as opposed to the more popular water glass method. Such strategic orientation enables the company to serve high-end markets that demand flawless surface quality and dimensional consistency.The silica sol process used in Bessercast entails the production of a ceramic shell through the use of high grade colloidal silica based binders. The method has a number of transformative benefits:
- Near-Net-Shape Precision: Bessercast achieves dimensional integrity levels of CT4-CT6 (ISO 8062). For many clients, this precision eliminates the need for expensive secondary machining, directly reducing the total cost of ownership.
- Superior Surface Refinement: While standard casting often results in rough finishes, Bessercast’s process achieves a surface roughness of Ra 3.2μm or better. This is essential for components in the food, medical, and fluid-handling industries where hygiene and flow dynamics are critical.
- Intricate Geometry Mastery: The flexibility of investment casting allows Bessercast to produce complex internal cavities and thin-walled structures—some as thin as 1.5mm. These designs are often impossible to achieve through traditional sand casting or forging.
- Structural Integrity: The high-strength ceramic shells minimize the risk of sand inclusion and gas porosity, resulting in a cleaner internal microstructure and enhanced mechanical properties.
Advanced Vacuum Casting for High-Performance Engineering
Bessercast is a leading manufacturer of castings that is differentiated through the use of Vacuum Investment Casting in mission-critical applications. This is a high-precision process that removes oxidation and gas porosity by pouring molten metal into a controlled vacuum to produce a high-density, high-purity microstructure. This is necessary to cast high-technology superalloys such as Inconel and Hastelloy, which are used in turbine engines and aerospace. The outcome is the highest level of surface detail on complex, thin-walled components that require high levels of fatigue strength and reliability in the most corrosive and high-pressure industrial conditions.
Material Versatility: Mastering 200+ Global Alloy Grades
A defining characteristic of a world-class casting manufacturer is the ability to manipulate a vast spectrum of alloys to meet specific environmental challenges. Bessercast’s metallurgical laboratory has developed and produced more than 200 different material grades.
- Diverse Material Palette: The company’s expertise ranges from standard Carbon Steels and Alloy Steels to highly specialized Stainless Steels (304, 316, 316L), Duplex Stainless Steels, and Heat-Resistant Steels.
- Global Standard Compliance: Every cast component is manufactured to meet or exceed international standards, including ASTM/AISI (USA), DIN (Germany), JIS (Japan), BS (UK), and NF (France).
- Rigorous Spectrographic Verification: Before any pour occurs, Bessercast utilizes Spectro brand spectrographs to analyze the chemical composition of the melt. This ensures that every batch is 100% compliant with the client’s material specifications, providing documented traceability for every heat.
In-House Tooling and Engineering: From Concept to Component
Bessercast is not merely a factory, it is a complete cycle casting manufacturer with in-house engineering services. The process of a precision part starts way before the initial metal is poured.
- DFM (Design for Manufacturing) Consultations: The engineering team of Bessercast collaborates with clients during design. They can be used to optimize the geometry of parts to enhance castability, minimize weight, and reduce production costs by detecting possible casting problems at an early stage.
- In-House Tooling Workshop: Bessercast has a state-of-the-art mold-making facility, which guarantees that the DNA of each part, the mold, is made with the utmost accuracy. The company uses high-grade tool steel and CNC machining to manufacture molds that are made to last long and repeatable.
- Rapid Prototyping: To clients in the R&D stage, Bessercast provides a simplified tooling and sampling cycle, with physical prototypes being delivered within a fraction of the industry-standard lead time.
Diverse Industry Applications: Powering the Global Economy
Being a multifaceted producer of castings, Bessercast components are the silent workhorses of the world infrastructure. The products of the company are located in:
- Transportation & Railway: Safety-critical structural components for high-speed trains and automotive systems.
- Fluid & Flow Control: High-precision pump bodies, valve housings, and impellers that must withstand constant pressure.
- Construction & Mining: Wear-resistant parts for heavy machinery, forklifts, and excavation equipment.
- Energy & Marine: Corrosion-resistant hardware for offshore oil rigs and maritime power systems.
Unrivaled Quality Assurance: The 5-Step Inspection Process
The reputation of Bessercast is based on quality. Being an IATF 16949:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer of castings, the company follows a strict quality management system that encompasses:
- Raw Material Verification: Checking of all raw ingots and binders.
- In-Process Monitoring: Real-time shell-strength and temperature checks.
- Dimensional Metrology: This is a method of checking tolerances on a micron scale using Hexagon CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machines).
- Mechanical & Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Tensile strength, hardness testing, and salt spray analysis to ensure durability.
- Final Traceability Check: This is to ensure that all parts are marked and recorded to the lot of raw material.
Robust Capacity and Strategic Growth
Bessercast’s recent infrastructure expansion has solidified its position as a high-capacity casting manufacturer. The addition of 25,000 square meters has brought the total facility size to 45,000 square meters, boosting production throughput to 250 tons per month.Strategically located in Ningbo, one of the world’s busiest port cities, Bessercast offers logistical advantages that ensure competitive lead times and efficient global shipping. This expansion allows the company to handle both high-volume OEM contracts and specialized, low-volume custom orders with equal efficiency.
