A weld stud, also known as a weld bolt or welding stud, is a fastener designed to be welded onto a workpiece, creating a permanent, secure attachment point. Weld studs have a threaded or unthreaded shank on one end and a weld base on the other end. They are commonly made from materials such as steel, stainless steel, or aluminum.
Welding Process:- weld studs are attached to a workpiece using welding techniques such as arc welding, resistance welding, or stud welding. During the welding process, the stud is fused to the workpiece, creating a strong and permanent bond.
Threaded and Unthreaded:- Weld studs come in both threaded and unthreaded varieties. Threaded weld studs have external threads on the shank, allowing them to accept nuts or other fasteners. Unthreaded weld studs are used for applications where a specific component or fixture needs to be welded directly to the stud.
Advantages: Strength: Weld studs provide a strong and reliable connection, making them suitable for applications where durability and stability are crucial. Speed: Welding studs onto a workpiece is a fast and efficient process, making them ideal for high-volume production environments. Clean Appearance: Weld studs provide a clean and streamlined appearance because they are welded flush with the workpiece surface.
