Weld studs, self-clinching, CD weld, arc weld, half thread and full thread studs for high-strength fastening and welding applications.
Weld studs are threaded fasteners permanently attached to a base metal by welding, providing a strong threaded projection for nut-and-bolt assembly without drilling or tapping the parent material.
Self-clinching studs press permanently into thin metal sheets, providing strong threaded standoffs without welding. Ideal for sheet metal enclosures, PCB mounting, and electronics chassis where access is limited to one side.
Capacitor Discharge (CD) weld studs are welded using stored electrical energy discharged in milliseconds. Produces minimal heat distortion — suitable for thin or painted sheet metal in automotive, signage and appliance industries.
Arc weld studs use a drawn-arc welding process to create a full cross-section fusion weld on thick structural steel. Used in construction, bridges, composite floor decking and heavy fabrication where high shear strength is required.
Half thread studs (also called tap-end studs) feature threading on one end for screwing into a tapped hole and threading on the other for a nut. Used in high-temperature flanges, pipe joints and machinery where one end is permanently fixed.
Full thread studs are threaded along their entire length for maximum adjustability and load distribution. Widely used in pressure vessels, structural connections, anchor bolts and anywhere a continuous thread grip is needed from end to end.
