Stud welding is a fastening process in which fasteners, which are referred to as weld studs, are used. Weld studs are available in a variety of shapes, sizes and designs. Stud welding has much in common with flash welding process in which a fastener or a customized nut is merged into another metallic component. Before stud welding was discovered, drilling and tapping processes were excruciatingly slow. It has made several processes in industrial units much easier.  One of the biggest advantages of stud welding is that it helps you save up on a lot of time and money as it does not require any drilling, punching, screwing and finishing processes. Even the most basic studs display a lot of strength and can be used on extremely thin plates. The amount of money spent on stud welding is very little and it gives you very good results. When it comes to stud welding, there are two methods you can choose from, arc stud welding process and capacitor discharge stud welding process. Arc stud we...

Arc welding is a specific welding process in which electric energy is used to produce heat and the heat then contributes towards joining two distinctive metals. In this process, a welding power supply is used to create an electric arc between an electrode and the material that is used as a base here. To ensure protection for the welding area, one can use some form of shielding gas, slag or vapor. Back in the day, all welding processes were manual in nature but now, many industries carry out fully automated or semi-automatic processes as well.  Arc welding processes can be divided into two different kinds, consumable and non-consumable electrode methods. Shielded metal arc welding or SMAW is one of the most common arc welding methods. In this particular process, the electric arc is supplied between the electrode flux coated metal rod and the work piece. It has often been described as a versatile process that is most suitable for joining both ferrous and non-ferrous materials.  ...
