  Features  
 
High productivity - since the process lasts for a fraction of a second

High production rate such as five - six studs per minute for manual feeding and twenty studs per minute for auto feeding, are achievable.

Costly machining operations like drilling, punching, threading, riveting etc. are eliminated.

Improves design potentials due to less distortion, no leakage, usage of thin plates, one side accessibility etc.

Strength of the joint is higher than the base material and the stud.
 
     
  The Stud Welding Processes:  
     
  Capacitor Discharge Stud Welding  
 
The Capacitors are charged
The CD - Stud in the gun is moved by a spring to the workpiece surface.

The tip touches the workplace and closes the electrical circuit. The rapidly increasing current melts the tip instantly and ignites the arc.

Stud and workplace surface melt.

When the stud touches the workplace, the arc extinguishes, the welding pools merge and solidify.

 
     
  Drawn Arc Stud Welding  
 
The Stud is lifted up in the gun by a lifting device and a secondary arc (pilot arc) with low current is ignited.
Then the main arc is ignited between the tip of the stud and the workplace.
The surface of the stud and the workplace melt.

After the end of adjusted welding time, the studs is moved to the workplace, both welding pools merge. The power unit is switched off; the weldpool solidifies and cools down.
