Full Product Description:

Our M3 x 16mm Mild Steel CD Studs are manufactured to consistent, high-quality standards for reliable performance in capacitor discharge (CD) stud welding applications. Each stud features a fully threaded M3 shank with a 16mm overall length, finished in mild steel for excellent weld penetration, strength, and corrosion resistance when properly coated or painted post-installation.

CD stud welding is a fast, single-impulse welding process that fuses the stud to the base metal in milliseconds, producing minimal heat distortion — making these studs perfectly suited for thin sheet metal (down to 0.5mm) where warping or discoloration must be avoided. This makes them a popular choice across automotive body repair, kitchen and appliance manufacturing, shopfitting, signage, HVAC ductwork, and general sheet metal fabrication.
