What is a stud welding process?

According to DIN 1910-100, the stud welding processes are to be assigned to arc pressure welding. This weld process generally welds peg-shaped connection elements full surface to the workpiece. 4.2 “Welding gun connection”). Usually, this process is called the “normal” stud welding process.

What is normal stud welding?

Usually, this process is called the “normal” stud welding process. It is generally used in a diameter range from 3 mm to 25 mm with weld times up to 1 second. The INTRA 2100/1400 compact devices allow welding of maximum diameters of

Do stud welding systems need special care?

The stud welding system requires no special care. The required cleaning tasks for the gun and sorter can be found in the specific devices’ operating manuals. For the INTRA 2100/1400 welding device, the following cleaning tasks are required. Here it should be noted:

Do weld studs contain aluminium?

The weld studs for this weld process contain no aluminium preparation. Only diameters up to 10 mm can be welded under shielding gas. The weld must be in tub position, because otherwise the fluid weld metal will flow out of the welding location.

How do stud welding guns work?

Stud welding guns are used to hold the studs and move them in proper sequence during welding. There are two basic power supplies used to create the arc for welding studs. One type uses dc power sources similar to those used for shielded metal arc welding. The other type uses a capacitor storage bank to supply the arc power.

How to connect a welding gun with automatic stud loading?

When connecting a welding gun with automatic stud loading, the pneumatic connections on the sorter and welding gun must be checked. The instructions and information required for this are found in the specific devices’ operating manuals. Make sure that the electrical and, if present, pneumatic line routing poses no danger of people tripping.
