Capacitor Discharge Stud

Types of CD Studs

When you need high-quality capacitator discharge studs, Delta Stud Weld is here to help. We proficiently fabricate these fastening devices in many sizes and configurations from various material types supplied by reliable United States of America-based mills. 

Capacitor discharge stud welding, or CD welding, is a semi-automatic arc welding process performed without ferrules or flux. Lasting only milliseconds, this process can be undertaken on thin sheets of metal without pronounced distortion, burn through, or discoloration. 

CD weld studs, or capacitor discharge weld studs, are small diameter fasteners joined to thin sheet metal. A CD stud can be shot to the attachment side without reverse-side marking, unlike traditional fabrication methods that require drilling a hole to insert a bolt for an attachment point. 

This generates a clean, aesthetically appealing look without compromising quality or straightness. Additional benefits of CD studs include: 

This welding process creates high-integrity welds with penetration so slight that dissimilar metals are joined without metallurgical problems. Additional advantages of CD stud welding include:
