Stud welding according to EN ISO 13918

Stud welding according to DIN EN ISO 13918 is an arc welding method.

At present, it is the quickest and most cost-effective joining method in a wide range of application areas.

In stud welding, an arc is ignited between the stud face and workpiece. Both parts are melted at the welding point and then joined together under light contact pressure. Arc welding is divided into stud welding with a drawn arc and stud welding with capacitor discharge, depending on the arc ignition type. Drawn arc welding is further divided into normal welding and short cycle welding. All methods differ according to the welding surface geometry of the stud, the procedure itself, the technology used and (partially) the field of application.

The production of welding elements for capacitor discharge welding and short cycle welding has been one of our strengths for over 35 years.
