Capacitor Discharge Studs

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.

Threaded studs are for thin gauge base materials. Catalog including flanged capacitor discharge cd studs imperial flanged capacitor discharge cd studs metric small flanged capacitor discharge cd studs non flanged cap. Capacitor discharge stud welding is a low cost fast and flexible form of welding where lightweight equipment is. 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.

The energy is discharged through a special ignition tip at the stud base creating an instantaneous arc. Capacitor discharge welding uses short weld cycles and are commonly used for mild steel stainless steel and aluminum applications. Browse capacitor discharge cd weld studs in the midwest fasteners inc. 18 8 stainless steel studs are more corrosion resistant than copper coated steel studs.

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. This process is suitable for studs ranging in size from 4 40 m3 thru 3 8 16 m10. Join threaded studs and pins to steel and stainless steel with resistance welding that won t damage the opposite side of the material. 800 852 8352 request quote email us 800 342 0422 rfq.
