This video takes you through drawn arc stud welding with ceramic ferrule – step by step, straight from practice. Questions about products, applications, or troubleshooting?Ceramic ferrules, often called arc shields, are often used in the drawn-arc stud welding process. They are, typically, a round shape that fit around the base of the weld stud. Often the ferrule configuration varies by application. When the arc is initiated between the stud and base material, the ferrule contains and directs both the molten metal and the arc energy, much like a master craftsman's. Drawn arc stud welding with ceramic ferrule is an arc welding process in which metal studs are joined flat and permanently to a workpiece – secured by a ceramic ferrule as melt protection. 1mm, and the concentricity requirement is very high, which can only be achieved through the technology of ceramic powder injection molding.
