lightweight magnesium

Lightweight design, electro-mobility, energy saving, environmental technology.

These current topics influence the design of your castings and have effect on the choice of your partner for the manufacture of your demanding components.

Metallgießerei Wilhelm Funke adapted the manufacturing processes to the high demands. Combining the traditional manufacturing method and the use of state-of-the-art technology, we produce pre-finished prototypes, special parts and small series with approx. 100 employees. From the receipt of data via the tool design, the production model making, and the pouring process to the mechanical treatments - we offer all important process steps from one source.

Thus, high-quality sand casting parts made from magnesium, aluminium, bronze and iron/nodular graphite cast iron are generated.

In supporting tests with the latest measuring, X-.ray and laboratory technology, the quality you require is documented based on the certified quality management system according to DIN ISO EN 9001 and 9100. Thanks to the latter, we are able to manufacture components for the use in the aerospace industry.

Customers from all sectors of casting applications benefit from our experience of many years in the execution of also highly complex castings. The manufacture of magnesium castings of more than 50 years is of special importance in our company.

We produce magnesium castings with a unit weight of up to 300 kg, thin-walled structural components or cases with poured-in bearing seats or tempering channels with different alloys. In our company, the ready-for-assembly processing takes place on several ultra modern CNC 5-axis machining centres.

We would be happy to support you on the way to an optimal casting.
