WDI's welding wire production at the Hamm/Westf. and Rothenburg/Saale /Wettin.Löbejün) sites can look back on a history of almost 50 years. Unalloyed and low-alloyed inert gas and submerged arc wire electrodes have been manufactured at WDI's main plant in Hamm/Westphalia since 1975 and at WDI in Rothenburg in central Germany since 1993. Production at both sites was gradually expanded and today, with a production capacity of up to 60,000 tonnes p.a., is one of the largest production facilities for welding wires in Europe. There is hardly a steel processing company in Germany or Europe that is not familiar with the wire electrodes from Hamm and Rothenburg. Whether for manual welding in steel construction with 15-18 kg spools or for semi-automated and fully automated welding with drums of up to 750 kg wire weight, WDI has the right drum in its range for every application.

The new non-copper-clad filler rods have excellent wire feed properties, also with very long hose packages and high wire advance speeds. The excellent current transition in the contact nozzle is achieved with these clean wire electrodes by wetting the surface by means of a special additive (takes over the function of the very-thin copper layer). This additionally provides for sufficient corrosion protection, also in case of storage over longer periods. The performance capability of this surface finish becomes clear particularly
