Stud Welding Machine

Stud welding is a process by which a metal stud, also referred to as a weld 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.In general, steel is great as a stud and base materials as it suits the drawn arc stud welding and capacitor discharge stud welding processes. Using medium or high carbon steels (above 0.25 percent carbon equivalent) usually requires preheating to prevent cracking.
