Authorised distributors for the world’s best welding wires.

Welding Engineers NZ Ltd is the authorised distributor for Nippon Steel Welding & Engineering Co. Ltd in Australia and New Zealand and the authorised New Zealand agent for Kobelco Welding and Chosun Welding flux cored welding wires.

Wires such as Nippon SF-1E and Kobe DW-100 have been foremost in the New Zealand welding world for many years for good reason. Quality flux cored wires can make welding easier, faster, cleaner and more efficient with better quality welds.

Why change to a higher priced flux-cored wire?

If welding with a solid MIG wire works, why change to a higher priced flux-cored wire?

The flux in the cored of flux cored wires combine a number of ingredients which are specific for the welding application or performance enhancement each wire is designed for, e.g. slag formers to shield the weld pool and shape and support the weld, alloys to improve the mechanical properties, fluxing agents to clean up impurities on the weld metal.

For almost all welding applications a correctly selected flux cored wire can do the welding job better and faster than a solid wire.

As subsidiaries of two of the world’s biggest steel manufacturers, Kobelco Welding and Nippon Steel Welding & Engineering have access to the highest ‘A’ grade green bar steel as the base metal in manufacture of their welding consumables. They can also add fluxing agents to the steel itself during manufacture of the green bar, in addition to the agents in the flux core, which allows greater specificity for targeted performance.

Optimising the efficiency of the welding job by choosing the best quality flux cored wire you can will pay off in the overall cost of the job:

Faster, more efficient, better quality welding will decrease the largest cost component of your work – labour.
