What is HbS stud welding?

In many areas stud welding is the most econo-mic fastening method for components. If using thin sheet metal, stud welding is often the only technical solution. HBS stud welding units provi-de outstanding reductions in costs and time. Every weld is precise avoiding any need for post treatment. Extremely short welding time! (1 to 3 ms).

What are HBS welding elements?

HBS welding elements encompass this techno-logy. Use of HBS welding elements guaran-tees a continuous high quality weld. The five major welding processes of ca-pacitor discharge, drawn arc, short cycle, insulation and MARC have been designed to cover a wide range of applications.

Why should you choose HBS inverter welding units?

Increases welding quality and welding rate. Innovative and future-oriented tech-nology, integrated in the compact and very mobile inverter welding units from HBS. Best welding quality through extremely high stability of the arc, even at weak welding currents or large fluctuations of the mains voltage.

How does welding work?

An arc is ignited between the face of stud and the surface of a work piece. Both parts are melted, the stud is gently pressed against the work piece and than joined together. The molten areas solidify. The extremely short and clean welding process does not require any machining.

How does a welding stud work?

The welding stud is lifted and a secondary arc (pilot arc) of low current is ignited between stud tip and workpiece. Then the ignition of the main arc is carried out. Stud and workpiece are melted. The stud is moved to the workpiece, the two molten zones join. The molten areas solidify.

What is arc stud welding?

The short cycle drawn arc stud welding is very suitab-le for stud diameters up to 12 mm on thin metal sheets. Up to 8 mm stud diameter, the process is often carried out without weld pool pro-tection. Normally studs with flange are used to achieve high tensile strengths in spite of pores in the weld zone.
