ANTEC – Stud Welding

Please note that this event is being run by the Weld Australia NSW State Committee and is a Face-to-Face event in Blacktown, NSW.

Opportunity to both see and apply the latest stud and resistance welding processes available for manufacturing, Construction, Mining and Minerals and Defence.

Member’s survey supports the re-introduction of face-to-face events.

Opportunity for members to interact and see welding processes to the recently changed AS/NZS 1554.2 standard. 

The event will highlight the broad range of applications for stud welding beginning with the use of Capacitor Discharge welding of pins, clips & cupheaded pins for the insulation industry. It will also cover various applications for Drawn Arc Welding stud welding from threaded studs in the manufacturing sectors of shipbuilding and defence through to shear connectors used in bridge beam and through deck welding for composite deck construction.

The presentation will also demonstrate Soyers patented  SRM (Radial Symmetrical Magnetic Field) technology which now enables welds at a sheet thickness ratio of 1:10 instead of 1:4. Stud welding can provide significant improvements in productivity based on the speed of the welding process with capacities of up to 10 studs per minute and can be automated for a broad range of manufacturing applications. Attendees will be able to view demonstrations of the various technologies and get the opportunity to fire studs themselves in order to better understand the technology and its various applications.
