40 Years of Durum: The Marathoner in Hardfacing
I wanted to dedicate today’s post to Durum, one of the veteran companies in the industry, celebrating its 40th anniversary.
Hardfacing filler materials tend to remain a niche segment within the sector, so making a name for yourself in this area and positioning your brand as a globally respected entity is no easy feat.
Durum Verschleißschutz GmbH has four decades of experience in durable materials and welding solutions. From laser to arc welding, thermal spraying, and additive manufacturing, Durum has established a strong reputation for expertise and a diverse product range, serving industries worldwide. The company’s success is not only about the materials but also the knowledge and craftsmanship accumulated over the years. Durum's technological advances are reflected in their patents, such as the flux-cored wire "Durmat NIFD" and the flux-coated electrode "Durmat NISE," which have set standards in the welding industry.

These innovations play an important role in providing wear protection across sectors like mining, deep drilling, and steel production, effectively extending the lifespan of machinery under tough conditions. Today, the company continues to advance through international partnerships, student-led research projects, and ongoing R&D efforts.
According to Managing Director Peter Knauf, Durum’s focus remains on progress through continuous research and development, striving to discover new, innovative solutions for wear protection technology.
