Capacitor Discharge Weld Studs, Insulation Welding Pins

Product Overview

Description

      Capacitor Discharge (CD) Stud Welding pins involve the same basic principles and metallurgical aspects as any other arc welding procedure. When the gun is activated, a special precision weld tip initiates acontrolled electric arc from the welder capacitorbank, which then melts the end of the stud and a portion of the base metal.

      The stud is held in place as the molten metal solidifies instantly accomplishing a high quality fusion weld. CD Stud welding is generally used to weld smaller diameter studsto thin base metals, especially where reverse side marking is not permissible. ld cycle is completed in milliseconds, welds can be made to thick material without pronounced distortion, burn-through or reverse sidediscoloration. CD Stud Welding is compatible with just about any weldable material, and permits the welding of some dissimilar metals
