CD Metric Paint Clearing Weld Studs

CD Metric Paint Clearing Weld Studs are designed for assemblies that require threaded fastening after the powder coating process. These CMP weld studs are welded before finishing, allowing the assembly to be powder coated before a nut is installed, eliminating the need to cap or mask the stud threads during coating.

Manufactured in mild steel, CD Metric Paint Clearing weld studs simplify post-finishing assembly while reducing preparation time before powder coating. Complete Stud Welding offers application, dimensional, and technical assistance to help select the appropriate metric paint-clearing weld stud for your manufacturing process.

  • Designed for Powder Coat Applications
  • Eliminates Thread Masking Operations
  • Accepts Metric Nuts After Finishing
  • Available in Mild Steel Material

Product Overview

CD Metric Paint Clearing Weld Studs are engineered for production environments where powder coating is completed before final assembly. Their unique paint-clearing design allows the stud to remain functional after finishing without requiring thread masking or protective caps.

Designed for Capacitor Discharge stud welding, CMP weld studs help manufacturers reduce finishing preparation while providing dependable threaded fastening after powder coating has been completed.

CD Metric Paint Clearing Weld Stud Features

CMP weld studs are specifically designed for manufacturing processes that include powder coating before final assembly. Their paint-clearing design helps simplify production by allowing threaded attachment after the finishing process without requiring protective thread caps.

Powder Coat Ready

Complete Stud Welding Paint Clearing (CMP) weld studs are designed to be welded in place and processed through powder coating before they directly accept a nut.

Paint Clearing

The paint-clearing design allows the stud to accept a metric nut after powder coating. This eliminates the need to cap threaded studs before finishing, helping streamline production operations and reduce secondary preparation steps.

Metric Threads

Available with M4, M5, M6, and M8 metric thread sizes, CMP weld studs support a range of fastening requirements commonly used in fabricated metal assemblies and production applications.

Mild Steel

Manufactured in mild steel, these weld studs are designed for applications requiring a paint-clearing fastening solution while maintaining compatibility with the powder coating process.

CD Welding

CD Metric Paint Clearing weld studs are designed for installation using the Capacitor Discharge stud welding process, providing an efficient method for attaching studs before finishing and final assembly.

Standard B Collets

Standard 1-3/8" long B collets are utilized for tool setups, but note that this specific equipment configuration requires an additional matching B Stop component.
