DRAWN ARC
DA Weld Studs UK
Taylor Studwelding is a leading UK supplier of weld studs to numerous industrial and manufacturing sectors. Our DA weld studs are of the highest quality, immediately available in mild steel and stainless steel, as well as other materials upon request. Manual and automated stud welding processes alike work best with high-grade studs, which lead to smoother operations and less downtime for machines.
Drawn Arc Weld Studs
As Drawn Arc stud welding is a slightly more forgiving process than CD stud welding, it is suitable to use headed or turned studs. We supply both turned and headed studs as standard, depending on the quantity and material required for manufacturing. All the DA studs we supply come with ceramic ferrules, as these are essential to the Drawn Arc process where shielding gas is not being used.
We are also able to produce studs for short cycle welding and automatic feeding as required.
Sheet Metal Material Thickness
DA weld studs are appropriate for use with sheet metals of 2mm and above thicknesses, including surfaces with curvature, surface grease, and other minor imperfections. A minimum of 1mm sheet thickness is required for every 3mm of stud diameter to prevent burning through the parent metal.
Drawn Arc (DA) Weld Studs
Our standard DA weld studs are available in low carbon content Mild Steel (EN 898-1 compliant) and Stainless Steel A2-50 (EN ISO 3506-1 compliant). We can also supply heat resistant steels and non-ferrous aluminium studs up to 12mm diameter as special requests. Our standard studs come with a bright finish, but we can provide numerous other finishes, including zinc, copper and nickel plating.
Short Cycle (SC) Weld Studs
Our short cycle weld studs are for use in the hybrid Drawn Arc Short Cycle process, a process which welds a similar stud as used in the Capacitor Discharge process, but using Drawn Arc principles, whilst using a higher current and reduced weld time to achieve faster welding cycle. These studs don’t penetrate into the parent material as much as Drawn Arc studs, but still achieve strong results. They can be used on slightly thinner materials that traditional arc studs, whilst still maintaining high weld strength. The SC weld studs are available in 4.8 low carbon steel and A2-50 stainless steel, other finished and materials are also available.
