When you think about welding, what comes to mind? You
probably have a vision of a guy with a protective mask laboring for
hours over a hot piece of metal, right? Well, the technology of the
welding industry has come a long way since its inception, and many of
today's welding applications are much less complicated. A number of
industries use stud welding, the process of fastening a stud to a metal
plate, for their various projects. The reasons for using stud welding
instead of traditional methods are varied, but the fact remains that a
growing number of industries are using stud welding products to meet
their needs.
• Saves Time- In today's society, time is a valuable
commodity. We are always pushing its limits by trying to accomplish as
much as we can in the time allotted. Industries rely on finding methods
to save time without sacrificing quality. Stud welding is an attractive
option because of the time it saves. A fastener can be attached to a
sheet of metal in the blink of an eye. With traditional welding, it
could take several minutes to create this bond. The speed of this
method means more projects can be done in a shorter amount of time.
•
Reduces Cost- Along with saving time, stud welding also reduces
operating costs. Industries using stud welding products report saving
money on labor and materials. These lower operating costs translate
into higher profits and more business. This is a benefit that any
project manager can appreciate.
• Ease of Use- Many people think
of welding as a highly technical application that requires a great deal
of skill. While this is true for traditional forms of welding, it isn't
the case with stud welding. One of the most appealing features of stud
welding is its simplicity. It doesn't require a costly contractor to
use an arc or CD stud welder. Instead, almost anyone can be trained to
use a stud welder.
• Strength of Weld- The ease of the process
coupled with its speed might suggest it doesn't produce quality
results. However, the truth is stud welding produces stronger bonds
than traditional fastening methods. The welded joint is bonded beneath
the surface of the metal plate making it capable of handling more
stress than a surface weld. This eliminates many follow up procedures
because stud welds are done right the first time.
