CD Metric Non Flanged Weld Studs

CD Metric Non Flanged Weld Studs offer a low-profile threaded fastening solution with minimal base projection, ideal for tight spaces. Utilizing the Capacitor Discharge (CD) stud welding process, they attach to sheet metal with minimal reverse-side marking. These studs are also compatible with ARC Short Cycle welding, making them versatile for various fabrication needs.

Complete Stud Welding supplies these non-flanged line items alongside comprehensive application, dimensional, and technical assistance.

  • Minimal Flange Footprint
  • Metric Thread Options Available
  • CD & ARC Short Cycle Compatible
  • Thread Range Availability from M3 up to M10

Product Overview

CD Metric Non Flanged Weld Studs provide a compact threaded fastening solution where reduced base dimensions and low-profile installation are required. Their streamlined design minimizes the attachment footprint while maintaining reliable threaded performance.

Suitable for both Capacitor Discharge and ARC Short Cycle stud welding, these metric weld studs are commonly used in sheet metal fabrication, enclosures, electrical equipment, and other applications requiring permanent threaded attachment.

CD Metric Non Flanged Weld Stud Features

CD Metric Non Flanged Weld Studs provide a streamlined fastening option for metric assemblies where a smaller attachment footprint and controlled welding process are required.

Low Profile

The non-flanged design minimizes the stud base size, making these weld studs suitable for applications with limited installation space or reduced clearance requirements.

Metric Threads

Available in M3 through M10 thread sizes, these weld studs provide multiple fastening options for metric sheet metal and fabricated assemblies.

CD Process

The Capacitor Discharge welding process allows installation with controlled heat input and little to no reverse-side marking on sheet metal components.

ARC Support

These weld studs can also be installed using the ARC Short Cycle process for compatible sheet metal and plate applications.

Compact Mounting

The reduced flange diameter allows smaller component holes over the welded stud, supporting compact assembly designs.

Accessory Fit

Standard B, Long, and EURO collet options support proper stud alignment and consistent installation with compatible welding equipment.
