Welding technology

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.
