Drawn Arc Tap Pads or Internal Thread Drawn Arc Weld Studs are used in all types of applications. They can be welded to a flat surface, or to the inside or outside of an angle.

The Drawn Arc Stud welding is a process by which a metal fastener is welded to a base metal through a fusion weld. Using a ceramic ferrule to capture and retain the weld’s heat, the molten metal created by the process cools the weld site and produces a weld that is stronger than the stud itself. Drawn arc stud welding can be used with dissimilar metals such as mild and stainless steel, as well as aluminum and some specialty alloys.

These studs can sometimes be referenced as IT Studs, TBL Studs, FBP Studs or TF Studs, Weld Studs or Welding Studs.

Drawn Arc Collar Studs are used to provide a spacer between the base metal and the part secured on threaded extension.

Drawn Arc stud welding is a process by which a metal fastener is welded to a parent metal through a fusion weld. Using a ceramic ferrule to capture and retain the weld’s heat, the molten metal created by the process cools and the weld site and produces a weld that is stronger than the stud itself.  Drawn arc stud welding can weld dissimilar metals such as mild and stainless steel, as well as aluminum.  These studs can sometimes be referenced as CS Studs, CKL Studs, CL Studs or CK Studs, Weld Studs or Welding Studs.
