Providing Both Arc and CD Weld Studs
Stud welding is a high-speed metal fastening process, one where a metal fastener is applied to another piece of metal using a welding arc. Generally speaking, there are two forms of stud welding to consider:
- Capacitor discharge (CD weld studs): Capacitor discharge stud welding involves the specially-tipped weld stud being forced into molten metal and welded using a capacitor discharge, storied energy, method. It’s ideal for welding thin and sheet metal grade materials, and has lower power requirements in most cases. CD Stud Welding features little or no backside marking and less distortion to lighter materials.
- Arc weld studs: Arc stud welding involves the use of a weld stud, usually with a flux loaded tip, and ceramic ferrule, where the stud will be welded using an arc stud welding, direct energy, method. It’s better for large-diameter fasteners and welding metal fasteners to heavy base materials. It comes with higher power requirements than CD weld stud applications, produces higher strength bonds, and penetration more deeply into base metals..

Our team is well-versed in the differences between each type of welding and can help you choose the best option for your specific project needs.
