Capacitor Discharge Studs

Threaded studs are for thin gauge base materials.

Capacitor discharge studs.

Capacitor discharge cd studs utilize a bank of capacitors to discharge to store energy at a specific voltage in order to weld to many different kinds of materials such as mild steel stainless steel aluminum titanium copper etc. This process is suitable for studs ranging in size from 4 40 m3 thru 3 8 16 m10. Browse capacitor discharge cd weld studs in the midwest fasteners inc. Capacitor discharge stud welding is a low cost fast and flexible form of welding where lightweight equipment is.

18 8 stainless steel studs are more corrosion resistant than copper coated steel studs. And is especially beneficial when working with thin gauge materials due to the absence of reverse side marring or discoloration. Collets must be the same size as the stud or pin you are welding and are not interchangeable with studs from other systems. Capacitor discharge studs available flanged and non flanged are used with thin materials to eliminate discoloration and marring to the reverse side of the material.

Capacitor discharge stud welding causes nominal penetration to the parent material and doesn t require finishing so is ideal for applications where reverse marking needs to be minimal and smaller diameter studs are preferred. Join threaded studs and pins to steel and stainless steel with resistance welding that won t damage the opposite side of the material. Capacitor discharge stud welding eliminates drilling tapping punching riveting gluing and screwing. 800 852 8352 request quote email us 800 342 0422 rfq.
