Tightening Torques for Bolt Welding

Assembly torque values for stud welding play a decisive role in determining the mechanical load-bearing capacity and safety of a bolted joint in practical applications. The forces that a welded stud can withstand over the long term after the joining process depend heavily on the thread diameter and the materials used. In this technical field, Bolzenschweißtechnik bsk + BTV GmbH provides a verified overview for designers, planners, and quality inspectors in the industrial sheet metal processing sector. To monitor these mechanical loads and automated processes in accordance with standards, all joints must meet strict criteria. You can find the detailed regulatory requirements on our information page regarding DIN standards for stud welding.

Tightening Torques for Bolt Welding of Steel, Stainless Steel, and Aluminum

The load parameters vary considerably depending on the material geometry and material combination. Our clear data table compiles all relevant clamping forces for common materials such as steel, stainless steel, and various aluminum alloys in direct relation to the welding processes. The process-reliable design of these parameters and the determination of maximum tensile forces are strictly based on the official guidelines of DVS Technical Note 0901 from DVS Media. Use the overview table below for daily quality assurance in your mass production.
