Stud Welding Drawing

12/12/2013 12:46 AM

Hi ,

I have a plate with 2 stud welded.

Do i need to create a counter sink or counter bore in the plate so the stud in placed into it to avoid the weld joint projecting out.can some one tell me what is the standard process for this.

I have another plate assembled on to it .Since the weld beads wil be projecting out there wont be proper contact between two plate.

Please suggest how they will normally represent this in Drawing or model?

Thanks

You can countersink, weld and finish the weld flush to the surface, or countersink the mating plate to clear the weld.

SAR BALA-

Try several different sizes and configurations as listed in the previous answer from lyn. Pick the one which looks the best and will work the best for you. Pick the best!

Good Luck, Old Salt

Don't know how much weld you need but you could bore hole through, counter bore the back side, put the rod through flush and weld there: then on the front, chip out and fill the weld root, then finish grind if needed.

That's the way I've done it in the past.

Really depends on the service loads ultimately. Most probably not critical as there is no spec or drawing according to the OP.

Fit for purpose? OP might know.

If welded by an electric stud welder, there is little if any fillet at the base of the stud, which can be accommodated by a light countersink in the other plate.

What is the thickness of the plates? What is the stud size and profile? What welding process is required. What materials are involved? There exist several designs for the task, dependant upon the answers to the foregoing questions. Please let us know.

If the plate is 3mm or less you could consider using self-clinch studs instead of weld studs. These have a flush head after insertion and only the threaded portion projects from the sheet. They require a hole in the sheet and very simple tooling to install.

look up pemnet.com for details from a well-known supplier but there are other supply companies.
