Arc Stud Welding and Capacitor Discharge (CD) Stud Welding

Arc Stud Welding and Capacitor Discharge (CD) Stud Welding

Arcfix Stud Welding Product Range

Arc Stud Welding
Arc Stud Welding involves the same basic principles and metallurgical aspects as any other arc welding procedure, in that a controlled electric arc is used to melt the end of the stud or electrode and a portion of the base metal. The stud is thrust automatically into the molten metal and a high quality fusion weld is accomplished where the weld is stronger than the stud itself.

Benefits of Arc Stud Welding

Stud Welding is applicable to:

Mild Steel
Stainless Steel
and Aluminium.

Welded fasteners or studs may be almost any size, shape, or type and there are literally hundreds, however, they must be made of weldable materials and one end of the fastener must be designed for welding.
Conventional DC welding machines of all types may be used, but special power units designed specifically for stud welding are also available.

Capacitor Discharge (CD) Stud Welding
Capacitor Discharge (CD) Stud Welding is also a semi-automatic arc welding process. However, with CD welding small diameter fasteners (8mm and under) are end welded to extremely thin gauge parent metal. The CD process operates on the principles of capacitor stored energy which is instantaneously discharged by the equipment system through a special weld "timing" tip. Since the entire weld cycle is completed in several milliseconds, welds can be made from thin sheet without pronounced distortion, burn-through or discolouration. CD Welding permits stud welding of dissimilar metals.

Differentiating Features of Stud Welding

The Stud welding process eliminates the need to drill a hole
Has no reverse side markings
Studs are threaded
Studs come in diameters from 3mm to 24mm

Koco Machines
The Koco Elotop series of Arc stud welding machines features the 3002 unit, which has a stud capacity of M6 to M25 and is suitable for through deck stud welding of shear connectors.

Wear Studs
ARCFIX stud welded wear studs are used on this equipment in open pit and underground mining, quarries, mining maintenance shops and ore preparation plants.

Shear Connectors
These shear connectors can be used to transfer horizontal shear from a concrete slab to a metal beam for maximum strength and load bearing capacity. The ARCFIX shear connector fully conforms to the Australian Standard AS 1554 Part 2.2003.

Epitech Products stress importance of composite beam and metal deck construction (11/02/2009)

Composite beam construction, without the use of metal decking, is superior to slab-on-beam construction. Composite beam design reduces steel weight. Live load deflection is reduced because of the concrete’s mass and thickness ...
