In the process the shear connector will insert into the center hole of the ceramic ferrule the ceramic ferrule will be pressed on the welding surface by ceramic ferrule holder by the force of spring device inside the welding gun.
Ceramic ferrules for stud welding.
To understand why it s important to know how drawn arc stud welding works.
Used for multiple purposes in stud welding.
As disposable items they are mass manufactured quickly and inexpensively.
After cooling the ferrule is broken off to reveal the weld.
Second it minimizes the atmosphere that the flux must purge.
Firstly the drawn arc machine is set up for the appropriate stud diameter.
Ceramic ferrules for arc stud welding are disposable items.
Third the ferrule forms the molten metal into the fillet.
Ferrules are disposable items.
Why are ceramic ferrules essential for stud welding.
Finally the fillet vents allow weld gases to escape.
First the ferrule helps to shield the arc from the operator.
Ceramic ferrules are essential part of the standard shear connectors shear studs drawn arc stud welding process.
They are taken out of the mold and are dried.
Initiating the welding process.
The stud will be inserted into the chuck of the stud welding gun and positioned onto the workpiece possibly by adding a ceramic ferrule.
The use of a ferrule is required for stud welding in order to concentrate the heat and retain the molten metal at the base of the stud until it has cooled.
By means of a lifting mechanism the stud will be lifted and at first an auxiliary arc pilot arc of a low current will be drawn.
Because of this manufacturing method ceramic ferrule tolerances can be greater than machining or.
