Arc Weld Studs
At Delta Stud Weld, a leading manufacturer of refractory materials and stud weldable threaded studs, high-quality products are our priority. With several types of arc weld studs available, choosing the best fit for your application has never been simpler.
From container ships transporting vital cargo to bridges connecting communities, massive structures play a pivotal societal role in our infrastructure. Although rarely seen, arc weld studs are often responsible for holding together these intricate assemblies.
Take your application to new performance levels with high-quality arc studs from Delta Stud Weld. As a leading provider of fastening solutions, we specialize in the quick turnaround of custom arc weld studs manufactured from domestically supplied materials.
Importance Of Arc Weld Studs
Arc weld studs are headless fasteners joined to a substrate or base material utilizing a highly reliable electric arc welding process. Sometimes called drawn arc studs, these devices are either unthreaded or have external or internal threading. They are typically used in conjunction with a nut to keep together structural materials or bear weight.
Welded to a workpiece on one side, arc weld studs don’t twist during tightening and make it easy to obtain accurate torque values. They are perfect for precision applications across an array of industries.
Arc Weld Stud Process & Types
Delta Stud Weld is your source for high-performance arc weld studs. We quickly manufacture these fastening devices in a variety of sizes and configurations from various material grades, including mild and stainless steels, supplied by dependable domestic mills.
Stud welding is a process of joining a metal stud to a metal workpiece by heating both parts with an arc of electricity. Unlike other welding processes, it offers faster assembly with fewer steps.
Our team is comprised of experienced engineering professionals, talented welders, and inspectors with quality-first mindsets. We can supply stainless steel arc studs or mild steel arc studs with an array of custom attributes.

Inspectors use precision gauges to verify conformance with applicable industry standards or customer requirements. All raw material is checked for accuracy, and Material Test Reports can be supplied with shipments upon request. Orders are audited before load out.
Types of Arc Weld Studs
PD Studs have a pitch diameter weld base. They are available in diameters 1/4" through 1".
