CD Stud/Base Material Recommendations
How to Determine the Best Base Material and Stud Material Combination
One of the benefits to CD Stud Welding is that it can be used with with just about any weldable material and permits the welding of dissimilar metals. These charts show the stud welding recommendations for many combinations of base material and stud materials.
