DA-12 OR DA-12M?
Drawn arc welding with a ceramic ferrule or shielding gas
Stud welding sequence
The welding process comprises lifting, the arc phase and plunging. Process parameters are matched to the specific welding task.
More about stud welding processesLift the stud
After positioning, the stud is lifted. A pilot arc is formed.
Ignite the arc
The main welding current melts the stud end and workpiece surface. A ceramic ferrule or the specified shielding gas supply supports the process.
Plunge the stud
At the end of the preset welding time, the stud plunges into the weld pool. The joint solidifies.

START SOLUTION FINDERFrequently asked questions
about DA-12
Which process does DA-12 use?
DA-12 uses drawn arc welding with a ceramic ferrule or shielding gas.
What welding range is possible?
M3–M12, maximum Ø 12 mm. The usable range depends on the power unit, material and welding task.
Which materials are intended?
Unalloyed and alloyed steels and non-heat-treatable aluminium alloys are intended. The material combination and process equipment must suit the welding task.
Is the lift adjustable?
Constant lift. Fixed constant lift; no lift adjustment.
Does DA-12 have integrated displacement measurement?
No. DA-12 is the standard version without a displacement measuring system. The integrated displacement measuring system is reserved for DA-12M.
Which power units are compatible?
Compatible power units include DA-800M as well as DAI-1300, DAI-2300 and DAI-3300. The usable range depends on the respective power unit, material and welding task.
