New to Studwelding?

DA = Drawn Arc.

CD = Capacitor Discharge.

SC = Short Cycle.

These are three different types of studwelding methods in everyday use.
The menu above will guide you to the various section of our web pages where you will find more information for each process and products.

 
The CD Process
The capacitors are charged.
The stud pip is placed in contact
with the work sheet.		 place pip in contact with material
Upon triggering, the stored energy is discharged as a high current pulse melting the pip and producing an arc. Charge initiated to create weld
Return spring pressure forces
the stud into the molten surface area to give complete fusion across the flange. 		weldstud final stge of weld
The Stud is welded in place.
No back-marking or burn discoloration.		 weldstud in place

The Process
CD is ideal for thin gauge; cold rolled sheet where reverse marking can be minimized or eradicated.
Penetration into the work piece is minimal.
Parent Material
For CD the sheet can be as thin as 0.7mm. Mild Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminium Alloy and Lead Free Brass. Sheet surfaces should be clean and flat.
Stud weld end must have precise pip and cone
