Weld CD Studs Available at South Coast Fasteners

South Coast Fasteners, Inc. supplies CD studs, also known as "capacitor discharge studs," for welding applications where speed, precision, and clean results are critical. These studs are widely used in automotive, construction, electrical, and fabrication industries because they provide secure attachments without the need for extensive preparation or heavy-duty welding equipment.

A CD stud is fused to the base material using a capacitor discharge process. The result is a strong, permanent connection created in a fraction of a second with minimal heat distortion. This makes CD studs ideal for thin-gauge metals and applications where maintaining the integrity of the material is important. With flanged designs available in multiple materials and finishes, South Coast Fasteners ensures customers can find the right CD studs for their projects.

Types of CD Studs 

Flanged Capacitor Discharge Stud, Mild Steel, Copper Plated

Mild steel CD studs with copper plating combine strength and conductivity. The copper plating improves arc stability during the capacitor discharge process and helps ensure a consistent weld. These studs are widely used in construction, fabrication, and general manufacturing where reliable fastening and cost-effective performance are essential.

Flanged Capacitor Discharge Stud, Stainless Steel

Stainless steel CD studs provide excellent corrosion resistance along with long-lasting durability. They are frequently used in marine, food processing, and chemical plant applications where exposure to moisture or harsh environments is unavoidable. Stainless steel CD studs also ensure that fasteners match the base material, maintaining performance and preventing contamination.

Flanged Capacitor Discharge Stud, Aluminum

Aluminum CD studs are lightweight yet strong, making them ideal for applications where weight savings are critical. They are commonly used in aerospace, electrical, and specialty manufacturing projects. Aluminum CD studs provide excellent conductivity and are valued for their balance of strength and reduced overall weight in finished assemblies.
