What Are Stud Welding Accessories?

Stud welding is a single-operation method of permanently attaching a metal fastener to a metal component of the same or different material. There are many sizes and shapes of fasteners available, including threaded and unthreaded weld studs, curved, bent, and eye bolt shapes, tapped, flat, or other configurations. Stud welding can also be used to attach fasteners to a variety of shapes and thicknesses of material.

As a result, there are many accessory styles and combinations used with both CD and Arc stud welding guns to accept fasteners, properly fit to the work metal, and position the gun on the workpiece to assure desired stud welding results. Both capacitor discharge (CD) and arc stud welding have different types of specialized accessories and attachments that are used with various fasteners, so you always have the right tool for the job.
