Stud Design: Weld bolts typically have a threaded rod-like design with a flat or chamfered end that is suitable for welding onto a metal surface. The threaded portion of the bolt may have a standard thread profile or a specific thread form depending on the application requirements.
Welding Stud Types: There are several types of weld studs available, including:
Threaded Studs: These studs have a threaded portion at one end and are welded onto a metal surface with the threaded portion extending outwards for nuts or other fasteners to be attached.
Unthreaded Studs: Also known as plain or projection weld studs, these studs have a smooth shaft without threads and are welded onto a metal surface to provide a fixed attachment point.
Tapped Studs: These studs have a threaded hole instead of a threaded portion and are welded onto a metal surface to provide a threaded attachment point.
Materials: Weld bolts are commonly made from materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel, depending on the specific application requirements. The choice of material depends on factors such as strength, corrosion resistance, and environmental conditions.
Welding Process: Weld bolts are attached to the metal surface using various welding processes, including arc welding (such as shielded metal arc welding or gas metal arc welding), stud welding, resistance welding (such as spot welding or projection welding), or other specialized welding methods.
Applications: Weld bolts are used in a wide range of metalworking and fabrication applications, including automotive, construction, shipbuilding, aerospace, and machinery manufacturing. They are commonly used to attach components, brackets, fixtures, or other accessories to metal structures or assemblies.
