A process for the production of wires

The present invention relates to a method for producing a on a spool (11) wound wire having a plurality of coils and a wire produced accordingly, the length of the wire is much larger than the diameter or a maximum dimension of a cross section of the wire transversely to wire longitudinal direction, in which method at least two wire members (1,2) are provided which are interconnected at end sides of the wire members extending transversely, in particular perpendicularly to the wire axis, wherein the joining of the ends is effected by welding or soldering.
