Capacitor discharge stud welding is necessary for the construction and assembly of many appliances. A capacitor discharge welder is used to weld smaller diameter fasteners to thin base metals without distorting or marking the metal. While capacitor discharge welding is crucial to our everyday lives, it is generally overlooked. So how does a capacitor discharge stud welder work? Sunbelt Stud Welding explains the welding process.

• First, the fastener, or stud, is inserted into the capacitor discharge stud welder shuck.
• Then the stud and capacitor discharge spot welder gun are placed against the work piece. Most CD studs have a particular tip that allows for a consistent weld.
• The capacitor discharge welding gun is activated and the stored energy is discharged through the stud. Enough energy is released from the capacitor discharge welder to melt the full diameter of the stud’s base and a portion of work piece metal in milliseconds.
• Next, a spring in the capacitor discharge spot welding gun forces the stud into the molten metal. The stud is held in a place for a few milliseconds while the metal solidifies, creating and instant high-quality fusion weld.
