Complete Stud Welding

CD Threaded Small Flanged Weld Studs

CD Threaded Small Flanged Weld Studs are engineered for applications requiring compact threaded fastening points on sheet metal components. The reduced flange diameter allows smaller clearance holes while maintaining a reliable welded attachment.

Using the Capacitor Discharge (CD) stud welding process, these CD weld studs can be installed with little to no reverse-side marking, making them suitable for finished sheet metal assemblies where surface appearance is important. Complete Stud Welding supplies matching collets and accessories to support accurate installation.

  • Reduced Flange Diameter for Compact Mounting
  • Designed for CD Stud Welding Applications
  • Minimal Reverse-Side Sheet Marking
  • Multiple Thread Size Configurations Available

Product Overview

CD Threaded Small Flanged Weld Studs are engineered for applications requiring compact threaded fastening points on sheet metal components. The reduced flange diameter allows smaller clearance holes while maintaining a reliable welded attachment.

Designed for Capacitor Discharge stud welding, these weld studs minimize reverse-side marking while providing dependable threaded fastening for finished sheet metal assemblies. Matching collets and accessories are available for proper installation.

CD Threaded Small Flanged Weld Stud Features

CD Threaded Small Flanged Weld Studs provide a specialized fastening solution with a reduced flange size and threaded attachment, designed for precision assembly with CD stud welding equipment.

Compact Flange Geometry

The smaller flange diameter reduces the required opening size for components mounted over the welded stud. This design provides flexibility for applications where standard flange dimensions may limit installation options.

Capacitor Discharge Welding Compatibility

Designed for the Capacitor Discharge stud welding process, these CD welding studs create a localized weld attachment with controlled heat input and minimal impact on the opposite side of thin sheet materials.

ARC Short Cycle Capability

The studs may also be installed using the ARC Short Cycle process for suitable sheet metal and plate applications, providing additional process flexibility based on equipment and application requirements.

Threaded Fastening Interface

The threaded stud design provides a permanent welded mounting point for attached components, reducing the need for drilled holes, separate fasteners, or additional fabrication steps.

Multiple Thread Configurations

Available thread sizes from 4-40 through 3/8-16 accommodate different fastening requirements across various sheet metal and fabricated assembly applications.

Matched Collet Accessory System

Compatible with Standard B, Short B, Long, and EURO collet configurations. Proper collet selection helps maintain stud positioning and welding consistency during installation.
