Stud welding is a process
by which a metal stud is joined to a metal workpiece by heating both
parts with an arc. A key factor that differentiates stud welding from
other fastening processes is that the fastener is attached to the
workpiece without marring the other side.
ARC
The Arc stud welding method provides highly reliable fastening for a wide variety of applications. This method allows almost any size or configuration of metal stud to be welded quickly to a workpiece, while providing maximum weld penetration and reliability.
CD
Capacitor Discharge (CD) stud welding, using very short
weld times, permits the welding of small-diameter studs to thin, lightweight
materials. The weld cycle can be completed in 0.01 seconds on material
as thin as 0.020" (0.5mm). These fast weld times minimize heat
buildup, resulting in welds with very little distortion, discoloration,
or burning. Therefore, CD stud welding is often used when appearance
is a critical product feature.
