Capacitor Discharge Studs

18 8 stainless steel studs are more corrosion resistant than copper coated steel studs.

Capacitor discharge studs.

Capacitor discharge studs available flanged and non flanged are used with thin materials to eliminate discoloration and marring to the reverse side of the material. Threaded studs are for thin gauge base materials. Capacitor discharge cd studs utilize a bank of capacitors to discharge to store energy at a specific voltage in order to weld to many different kinds of materials such as mild steel stainless steel aluminum titanium copper etc. Capacitor discharge welding uses short weld cycles and are commonly used for mild steel stainless steel and aluminum applications.

This process is suitable for studs ranging in size from 4 40 m3 thru 3 8 16 m10. Collets must be the same size as the stud or pin you are welding and are not interchangeable with studs from other systems.

And is especially beneficial when working with thin gauge materials due to the absence of reverse side marring or discoloration.

Capacitor discharge stud welding causes nominal penetration to the parent material and doesn t require finishing so is ideal for applications where reverse marking needs to be minimal and smaller diameter studs are preferred. The energy is discharged through a special ignition tip at the stud base creating an instantaneous arc. Join threaded studs and pins to steel and stainless steel with resistance welding that won t damage the opposite side of the material.
