Industries Served
Stud welding is used across industries to provide one-sided, near-instant, reliable fastening and assembly solutions with little to no reverse marking. For stud welding applications, no drilling or tapping is required, maintaining the integrity of the parent material. Faster and more efficient than other fastening methods, stud welding is versatile for attaching fasteners to sheet metal, including tamperproof, pre-coated, and painted materials. We have capacitor discharge (CD) equipment and drawn arc welding systems for industrial stud welding applications in various sectors.Shipbuilding
There are various stud welding applications for shipbuilding, improving repeatability and speed for construction and assembly projects. Due to its operational consistency and durability, stud welding is a preferred fastening method. Stud welding solutions retain the strength of the parent material, preventing leakage, water damage, and exposure, as well as offering load-bearing capabilities. Shipbuilding can utilize stud welding for:- Managing Wires & Cables
- Fluid Lines
- Control Panels & Electrical Systems
- Hatch Cover Installation
- Decking
- Hull Construction
Sign Manufacturing
For manufacturing signage, lettering, and indoor and outdoor sign installation, stud welding streamlines fastening operations. Industrial stud welding applications offer a reliable, long-lasting fastening solution regardless of size or intricacy and can fasten signs to various materials, including stone, brick, and concrete. Stud welding creates hidden studs for a clean, aesthetic finish. Sign manufacturing applications for stud welding include:- Businesses
- Public Spaces
- Events
- Decorative Panels
- Nameplates
- Bespoke Products
- Plaques
- Memorial Signs
Manufacturing
Stud welding is an effective fastening process for the manufacturing industry. Used for various sheet metal and machinery components, stud welding applications in manufacturing deliver high-quality welded stud joints in assemblies. The ability to reliably stud weld to multiple materials, including sheet metal that is tamperproof, pre-coated, or painted, and concrete, brick, and stone, makes stud welding highly versatile for manufacturing requirements.Metal Fabrication
Offering the most durable and repeatable fastening solution for sheet metal, stud welding is ideal in metal fabrication applications. Industrial stud welding applications benefit from high-strength welded connections in sheet metal without compromising the integrity of the material due to pre-drilled or pre-tapped holes. Additionally, we have refractory anchors and studs for high-temperature stud welding applications.Construction
Commonly used in various infrastructure applications, stud welding delivers superior strength and durability. Industrial stud welding applications for construction provide robust welded joints for load-bearing, structural integrity, and secure connections that minimize leaks or hazardous failures. With excellent weather-resistant properties, stud welding is utilized in construction for the following:- Fastening Steel Beams & Columns
- Metal Cladding, Roofing & Facades
- Bridge Building
- Sewer Lines & Pipes
- Water Supply Networks
- Underground Electrical Conduits
- Highway Barriers & Guardrails
- Road Signs
Electrical
