What do the abbreviations for welding studs—such as FD, RD, SD, or PT—mean?
The abbreviations according to DIN EN ISO 13918 designate the pin type. The following are used for short-stroke ignition: FD (full thread), MD (practically full thread), PD (partial thread), RD (reduced shank), UD (pin), ND (insulating pin), ID (pin with internal thread), and SD (head bolt). Short-stroke ignition includes PS (threaded bolt with flange), US (pin), and IS (pin with internal thread). Tip ignition types include PT (threaded stud), UT (pin), and IT (pin with internal thread). Bolzen-Schweißtechnik bsk + BTV GmbH supplies these types.
What is the strength class of welded studs?
Steel bolts typically have a strength class of 4.8 according to ISO 898-1, meaning they are made of weldable steel with specified minimum tensile strength and yield strength. Stainless steel bolts are available as A2-70 or A4-70 in accordance with ISO 3506-1. SD-type stud bolts have their own material groups with specified minimum values. Bolzenschweißtechnik bsk + BTV GmbH supplies the appropriate strength class for the application.
Are there stainless steel weld studs?
Yes, studs made of austenitic stainless steel are standardized, typically designated as A2 or A4 according to ISO 3506-1. They are suitable for applications with higher corrosion resistance requirements. Bolzenschweißtechnik bsk + BTV GmbH also supplies welded studs made of stainless steel.
What is a dual-material bolt?
A dual-material bolt consists of two materials joined by friction welding. The welded portion is made of the base material to ensure a clean weld, while the remaining portion is made of a high-alloy material for better corrosion protection. Bolzenschweißtechnik bsk + BTV GmbH can advise you on when such a bolt is appropriate.
Do weld studs need to be coated?
Class 4.8 studs for tip and short-stroke ignition systems—such as PS, US, IS, PT, UT, and IT—are supplied with an electroplated copper coating in accordance with the standard. Other surface finishes are available upon request. Bolzen-Schweißtechnik bsk + BTV GmbH supplies the appropriate design.
What are weld studs called?
The designation according to DIN EN ISO 13918 specifies the type, dimensions, and strength class—for example, an M8 PT threaded bolt that is 20 mm long and Class 4.8. This allows each component to be ordered unambiguously. Bolzenverschweißtechnik bsk + BTV GmbH can assist you in determining the correct designation.
What is the purpose of the ignition tip or aluminum ball on the bolt?
The ignition tip or the pressed-in aluminum ball acts as a flux. It stabilizes the arc during ignition and binds oxygen. For stainless steel with a diameter of up to 10 mm or when welding with shielding gas, it may not always be necessary to use one. Bolzenschweißtechnik bsk + BTV GmbH supplies the appropriate components.
What is the purpose of the flange on the weld stud?
The raised flange increases the weld area and compensates for unavoidable porosity and fusion defects, ensuring that the joint achieves its full strength. In the event of overload, the shaft breaks rather than the joint. This is particularly important for aluminum, galvanized sheet metal, and tip ignition. Bolzenschweißtechnik bsk + BTV GmbH supplies suitable flange studs.
