Image's Hammer Weld Studs Penetrate Rusty, Scaly, or Painted Surfaces With Ease

Image Industries, Inc., a leader in stud welding, introduces new Hammer weld studs that will penetrate rusty, scaly, or painted surfaces and ensure a secure weld. The studs provide a durable and efficient alternative to traditional welding methods, because they eliminate the need to grind the surface before welding. Available in steel or stainless steel, these specialty studs are custom manufactured up to 3/8", allowing them to meet specific application needs and offer the strength and endurance needed for rough or coated surfaces.

No longer will you have to grind the surface clean before welding, and then re-coat it after welding, expending a great deal of production time and money. Hammer weld studs make it possible to avoid all these time-consuming procedures by offering a quick, permanent and worry-free solution for hard-to-weld surfaces. The studs can be used with Image's Arc welding equipment, which offers a unique feature called Hammer Mode, automating the welding process even more.

With Image's equipment, Hammer weld studs can be rapidly welded into place by inserting the stud into a welding weld tool, and positioning it against the desired work surface. The Hammer Mode control cycle then uses the stud to peck through mill scale. The control repeats this pecking method until it finds ground and welds the stud onto the clean surface. The Hammer weld stud remains secure, and no further surface maintenance, such as painting around the stud, is required.
