In addition, the specific machine required to manufacture weld studs, there is a range of different stud welding products that are required. These can be purchased online or in-person through stud welding companies and suppliers, often at a very competitive price compared to other general welding supply companies.
Hand Held Tools
One of the most important options in stud welding products are the hand held weld tools. These allow the user to provide stud welding in a variety of different positions and when the machine system is not effective or possible to use.
These tools can be heavy duty, designed to work in even the most challenging of work environments. Different hand held welding tools will be able to handle different sizes of studs, which will be an important consideration.
Cables
Depending on specific welding needs, both ground cables and extension cables may be important additional pieces of equipment to have on hand. Different cables can include various sizes of cables for different welding requirements. It is critical to have the right sizes of cables to avoid potential cable damage and even the risk of fire if undersized cables are in use.
Ferrules
As ferrules are only used once, they are stud welding products that will need to be ordered on a regular basis. They are actually made from a cast mold process with a low-grade ceramic. They are ideal for both protecting the operator from the arc as well as holding the molten metal in the correct position during the welding process.
Studs and Cold Formed Parts
The actual studs, either threaded or smooth, as well as cold formed parts that may be custom-designed for a specific job are also products that may be part of a continual order.
Finding a company that offers a full range of products is always the best option. This allows one order, one invoice and one delivery for all of your stud welding equipment and supply needs.
