Description
Product Information
ISO 13918 (PD) is a welding standard that outlines the requirements and specifications for a specific type of arc welding. The standard specifies the welding process for stud welding, which is a type of resistance welding used to join metal studs to a base metal plate or structural steel member. Stud welding, being a straightforward process, is widely utilized in several industrial applications, particularly in construction and manufacturing.
ISO 13918 (PD) emphasizes the critical aspects of stud welding, including safety, design, and quality control. The standard necessitates that certified welding professionals execute stud welding processes, and only licensed welding operators should perform the actual function. Additionally, the standard has detailed specifications regarding the welding equipment, minimum materials requirements, sampling, and testing methods.
ISO 13918 (PD) also mandates the careful examination of the panels or plates to be welded beforehand to ensure that they are flat, free of contaminants, and perfectly fit. This inspection is critical to prevent the creation of substandard welds that could lead to the failure of the welding joint, which could compromise the overall safety and structure of the product. The standard also specifies the requirements for testing welded joints for tightness, strength, and other necessary aspects.
In conclusion, ISO 13918 (PD) is an essential standard in welding, particularly in stud welding. Adhering to the welding requirements, as outlined in the standard, ensures that the welding process, and the resulting product is safe and efficient. It also reduces the likelihood of producing substandard welds, minimizing the risk of product failure or structural damage. Therefore, it is vital that companies that utilize stud welding techniques follow this welding standard to ensure the quality and safety of their products.

Common Fastener Materials
Fasteners are fabricated from a variety of materials. These options include metals and polymers. Stainless steel offers strength and corrosion resistance. While polymer options have less strength than stainless, they are a good choice for resisting chemicals. The most common materials are:
- Stainless steel
- Alloy steel
- Low carbon steel
- Medium carbon steel
- Titanium
- Polymers, such as nylon
Finish Options
The use of heat treatments and application of various finishes, also known as “plating,” affects the look and performance of fasteners. Finishes provide material stability and protect the fasteners from corrosion and rust. Below are some common heat treatment and finish benefits:
- Zinc coating – Most common, low cost, resists corrosion and rust
- Galvanized – Superior corrosion protection, anti-seize, higher upfront investment
- Stainless – Great for humid environments, strong, ideal for electrical or mechanical uses
- Black – Adds color, provides better grip, deflects light

FAQ
Q: What is stud welding used for?
A: Stud welding is a widely used joining process within the industry that addresses various construction and assembly needs. The rapid and reliable attachment of fasteners onto metal surfaces along with its durable and strong bond means that it is very often a preferred or essential fastening process.
Q: How strong are weld studs?
A: Tensile Strength: 60,000 PSI Min. Yield Strength: 50,000 PSI Min.
Q: What is a CD weld stud?
A: Capacitor Discharge stud welding is a semi-automatic arc welding process. However, with CD welding, you have the ability to weld small diameter studs to very thin material.
Q: Is stud welding hard?
A: It’s Easier. Stud welding is a far more straightforward process than resistance welding. It only requires one step to join your materials together. To connect your two metals permanently, all you need is a few weld studs and your equipment.
Q: What grade are weld studs?
A: Stainless threaded weld studs are mostly stocked in grade 302HQ / 30430. on the weld end to preclude the plating from compromising the weld quality. studs can be annealed to a maximum of 75 Rockwell B hardness and 85 Rockwell B hardness, respectively.
Q: What is the spacing for welded studs?
A: The minimum spacing between the centre- lines of shear studs is governed by access requirements for the stud welding gun. A minimum spacing of between 60 mm and 70 mm is possible, depending on the size of the studs, but a minimum of 100 mm is pre- ferred by fabricators.
Q: How do you test a weld stud?
A: A simple way to test the shear torque of threaded studs is apply a straight pull of the Weld Stud Test Tool (no side load). When the wrench breaks-over and the stud is still attached then it passed. If the threaded stud breaks off – then it failed.
Q: Can Stud Welding Be Done In The Rain?
A: Recommendation for stud welding in cold or wet weather: Stud Welding shall not be done when the base metal temperature is below 0°F or when the surface is wet or exposed to falling rain or snow.
Q: What material is used for stud welding?
A: Both mild steels and stainless steels can be stud welded. In general, steel is great as a stud and base materials as it suits the drawn arc stud welding and capacitor discharge stud welding processes.
Q: How fast is stud welding?
A: Short cycle stud welding is a quicker form of the drawn arc stud welding process for attaching metal studs and other fasteners to metal sheets. It only takes from 10 up to 100 milliseconds to attach the stud to the parent sheet using this method.
Q: What's the hardest type of welding?
A: Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding is widely considered the most challenging welding process to learn. The sheer complexity of the technique requires more practice and focus to master than other less-technical welding methods. TIG welding also results in some of the strongest and sturdiest welds in the industry.
Q: What is the minimum thickness for stud welding?
A: Short Cycle requires a minimum thickness of 1.5mm (regardless of diameter); Drawn Arc requires a minimum material thickness of one third of the stud diameter (e.g. 12mm Diameter has a minimum thickness of 4mm sheet).
Q: Are welds as strong as bolts?
A: There’s a common misconception that welding is stronger than bolting, but that simply isn’t true. Bolting is just as strong as welding—and can be stronger in some situations. The strength of a weld is largely determined by the expertise of the welder.
Q: What are the positions for welding studs?
A: Welding Position: SC Studs can be welded in the down hand, side hand and overhead positions. In the side hand and overhead positions this becomes increasingly more difficult as the stud diameter increases.
Q: What is the hammer test for stud welding?
A: All studs should be checked in this way by the welder or the welder’s mate. The bend test requires the head of a stud to be displaced laterally by approximately a quarter of its height using a 6 kg hammer. The weld should then be checked for signs of cracking or lack of fusion.
Q: What metal cannot be welded?
A: Some examples of material combinations that cannot be fusion welded successfully are aluminum and steel (carbon or stainless steel), aluminum and copper, and titanium and steel. Nothing can be done to alter their metallurgical properties.
Q: What PPE is needed for stud welding?
A: Protective clothing including long sleeves and long pants is recommended for protection during application of weld studs. Welding gloves, aprons or jackets are also recommended where appropriate. Respiratory protection is not needed in well ventilated areas.
Q: Is stud welding standard?
A: ISO 14555 – Welding – Arc stud welding of metallic materials. This is an important standard in stud welding. It covers the requirements for the qualification of welding personnel and welding procedures for the mechanical fastening of accessories using stud welding processes.
