 BASIC PRINCIPLE (STUD WELDING)
Stud welding is a technique similar to flash welding where fastener or
specially formed nut is welded into another metal part, typically a base
metal or substrate.

Capacitor discharge weld studs range from 14
gauge to 3/8" diameter. They can come in many
different lengths ranging from 1/4" to 5" and larger.
The tip on the weld end of the stud serves a twofold
purpose:
1. It acts as a timing device to keep the stud off
the base material
2. It disintegrates when the trigger is pulled on
the gun.
When the tip disintegrates, it melts and helps
solidify the weld to the base material.
Arc studs range from an 8 to 114" diameter. The
lengths are variable from 3/8" to 60" (for deformed
bars).
Arc studs are typically loaded with an aluminum
flux ball on the weld end which aids in the welding
process.

COMPARISON STUD
WELDING AND SPOT
WELDING
The two types of welding
commonly used for fasteners
are stud welding and spot
welding. These two types of
welding can be differentiated
by several features of the
fusing process.
Stud Weld
Uses fasteners called weld studs or welding studs
The process begins with the weld stud being placed against the base
metal after which an arc weld is struck
Can be used to form high quality, strong permanent bonds by end-
welding a stud to a metal part.
Stud welding is a fast, efficient process that can be completed by a
single worker in under a second
Spot Weld
Spot welding joins materials through the use of heat produced
through resistance to an electric current.
Spot welding uses electric current and high pressure to form a
bond between two items.
In spot welding there is essentially a two-step process. First,
resistance to the electric current heats the materials to the melting
temperature. Then strong pressure is applied to join the materials.
 Stud welding is a technique similar to flash welding
where a fastener or specially formed nut is welded
onto another metal part, typically a base metal or
substrate. So the basic welding joint is T-joint fillet

 ADVANTAGES OF
STUD WELDING
Time cycle are very short

Heat input on base metal very small

Narrow HAZ

Minimal Distortion

Can be welded at any condition without affecting base

member

Drilling, tapping or riveting not required

Light

Safe cost

Capacitor discharge power can welding dissimilar metal

High intensity of welding joint, equal to or surpass the

intensity of base metal
