WELDING STUDS FOR DRAWN ARC STUD WELDING WITH CERAMIC FERRULE

Product catalog summary
Overview
This document outlines the technical specifications and guidelines for welding studs used in drawn arc stud welding with ceramic ferrules. It details the types of studs, materials, dimensions, surface treatments, and accessories.
Technical Information
The document begins by describing the use of a pressed-in aluminum ball at the welding tip to enhance ignition and arc stabilization, with exceptions for certain insulation pins and rectangular studs. Ceramic ferrules are standard for weld pool backing, though shielding gas is an alternative.
Materials
Welding studs are made from steel and stainless steel, adhering to DIN EN ISO 13918 and DIN EN ISO 14555 standards. Material properties are verifiable through inspection documents.
Dimensions
Dimensions are provided in tables, with nominal lengths corresponding to post-welding lengths. Special dimensions are available upon request.
Surface Protection
Studs are typically supplied in a bright condition, with optional treatments like galvanic zinc plating and hot zinc dipping, which may affect welding quality and require mechanical removal from the welding tip.
Threads
Threads are cold rolled according to DIN 13-1 standards, with special threads available upon request.
Weld Fillet
A weld fillet forms during welding, with dimensions defined by the ceramic ferrule and welding parameters.
Accessories
Accessories for stud welding guns must be adjusted to the welding element, with specific accessories listed in the document.
Shear Connectors
Shear connectors (types SD1 and SD3) conform to DIN EN ISO 13918 and meet EU construction product regulations, with European Technical Assessment (ETA) certification.
Conclusion
The document provides comprehensive specifications for various types of welding studs and accessories, ensuring compliance with international standards and offering customization options for specific requirements.

WELDING STUDS FOR DRAWN ARC STUD WELDING WITH CERAMIC FERRULE-7

Welding studs for drawn arc stud welding with ceramic ferrule Technical information Flux (aluminium ball) and weld pool backing According to DIN EN ISO 13918 (Welding – Studs and ceramic ferrules for arc stud welding) welding studs for drawn arc stud welding standardly have a pressed-in aluminium ball at the welding tip. This serves as flux for improved ignition and stabilization of the electric arc as well as for deoxidising the weld pool. (Exceptions: Insulation pins (type ISMS, ISA, ISB), bimetallic insulation pins (type VBS-MS, VBS) as well as balls do not have a pressed-in aluminium ball....

WELDING STUDS FOR DRAWN ARC STUD WELDING WITH CERAMIC FERRULE-8

Surface protection Usually our welding studs are supplied in bright condition. On demand, the following surface treatments are possible (coating thicknesses according to DIN EN ISO 4042): 1. galvanically zinc-plated 2. hot zinc dipped 3. zinc flake coated flZnnc-600h 4. galvanically copper-base-coated and nickel-plated 5. galvanically copper-plated The surface treatments 1, 2 and 3 have a negative impact on the welding quality and are therefore mechanically removed from the welding tip. Through this: • the tolerance for the diameter at the welding tip (d2 resp. d1) changes to -0,6/+0,1 • the...

WELDING STUDS FOR DRAWN ARC STUD WELDING WITH CERAMIC FERRULE-11

Threaded stud with reduced shaft (type RD acc. to DIN EN ISO 13918) before welding / after welding before welding / after welding The threaded stud type RD is threaded almost to the top of the welding tip which is reduced to about the core diameter of the thread. Thus the fillet diameter will only be slightly (0,5-1 mm) bigger than the external diameter of the thread. It is worthy of note that the reduction of the welding tip diminishes the bearing force of the stud by approximately 15% in comparison to the type MD/PD/FD. Thus - if necessary - the next bigger diameter should be chosen. Dimensions...

WELDING STUDS FOR DRAWN ARC STUD WELDING WITH CERAMIC FERRULE-12

Threaded stud with practically complete thread (type MD acc. to DIN EN ISO 13918, before: type MPF) before welding / after welding before welding / after welding With the revision of April 2018 the stud type MD was included into DIN EN ISO 13918:2018 for the first time. The stud type MD acc. to DIN EN ISO 13918:2018 is mostly identic to the not standardised stud type MPF which we already produced for many years. There are only deviations regarding the dimension y (non-threaded part) for M6 (before: 3 mm), M10 (before: 7 mm) and M12 (before: 8 mm). The threaded stud type MD is threaded to approximately...
