Welding wires are available in numerous alloys and material thicknesses and are suitable for a wide range of applications – including repairing surfaces, filling defects, restoring edges, bridging material gaps in a weld or hardening surfaces.

For good results with welding rods, note that cleanliness is the most important weld preparation:

• 
  
• For a successful weld, it is very important that the welding area is carefully cleaned.
  Contamination, oxides, oil or wax layers make a good welding result impossible.
  
• The welds must be metallically clean.
  Depending on the contamination, chemical cleaning agents or metal-cutting processes are very suitable for cleaning the welds.
  In the case of light soiling or adhesions, cleaning by means of an ultrasonic unit is also recommended.
  

Welding wire for steels
The welding wire GS2is suitable for applications with a higher hardness on tools subject to heavy wear and pressure.
It is also good for platings on unalloyed and low-alloyed steels.
Hardness up to 58HRC.

The stainless steel CMS welding wire is a very stable austenitic weld metal.
It is suitable for welding CrNi steels, such as 1.4301, 1.4401, 1.4453 or 1.4571.
