WESTFÄLISCHE DRAHTINDUSTRIE GMBH - Westfälische Drahtindustrie GmbH - Verbindungen, die die Welt bewegen!

At our sites in Rothenburg/Saale, Hamm, Brandenburg and Nedri Industriedraht (Hamm), we manufacture iron and fabrication wire for the machine, plant and steel construction industry, shopfitting, displays, automotive, furniture industry, household goods, chains, blasting material, tool carriers, filter industry, fence construction, garden and landscape design, connecting elements, logistics, construction industry, electrical and cable industry, bent wire parts, household appliances and gastronomy, animal husbandry, welding technology, lightning protection systems, gabions, packaging industry.

In addition to our extensive range of bright steel, we manufacture all standard machining steel wires in various designs at our sites in Schwerte, Iserlohn and Nedri Industriedraht (Hamm). according to DIN EN 10263 part 2-4 according to DIN EN 10267 Special analyses on request

With its sites in Hamm, Schwerte and Zweibrücken/Ixheim, the Westfälische Drahtindustrie bright steel division is one of the most important bright steel manufacturers in the world.The company has a recognised high level of expertise in the field of bar steel production.

Overhead and underground conductors in various designs and constructions for the construction of new lines, the repair of existing transmission grids, the connection of transformer substations, solar and wind power plants. Furthermore, the upgrading of existing lines with high-temperature conductors to increase transmission capacity.

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.

A new generation of bright welding wires With the development of WDI PLATINARC, we have succeeded in combining the good properties of copper-plated and non-copper-plated welding wires. The Platinarc welding consumables are characterised by therefore by: Low contact tip wear Best wire feeding properties Minimal silicate precipitation in the weld sea Low splash formation Low copper content in welding fumes Stable electric arc

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
