CD Stud – Mild Steel M5 x 12mm (Pack of 100)
Product Overview
This pack of 100 CD (Capacitor Discharge) weld studs is manufactured from high-quality mild steel, sized M5 x 12mm. Designed for fast, precise capacitor discharge stud welding, these studs are a popular choice across construction, fabrication, automotive, signage, and general engineering applications where a strong, clean, and permanent fastening point is needed without drilling or tapping.
Key Features
- Material: Mild steel – durable, weldable, and cost-effective, with good tensile strength for structural and general-purpose fixings
- Thread Size: M5 (metric fine/standard thread)
- Length: 12mm
- Welding Type: Capacitor Discharge (CD) stud welding – ideal for thin-gauge sheet metal (as thin as 0.5mm) with minimal heat distortion and no visible marking on the reverse side
- Pack Quantity: 100 studs per pack – ideal bulk quantity for trade professionals, fabricators, and workshops
- Finish: Plain mild steel finish, ready for painting, plating, or further surface treatment
Applications
CD mild steel studs are commonly used for:
- Sheet metal fabrication and cladding
- Signage and display panel assembly
- Automotive bodywork and trim fixing
- Kitchen and catering equipment manufacturing
- HVAC ductwork and enclosure assembly
- Electrical cabinet and switchgear construction
- General metalwork requiring a clean-finish, distortion-free weld
Why Choose CD Stud Welding?
Capacitor discharge stud welding uses a rapid, high-energy discharge to fuse the stud to the base metal in milliseconds. This process is ideal for thin materials because it generates minimal heat, preventing warping, discoloration, or damage to the opposite (visible) face of the workpiece — making it perfect for cosmetic or finished surfaces.
Compatible Equipment
These M5 x 12mm studs are suitable for use with standard CD stud welding guns and machines, provided the correct ferrule and chuck size is used for M5 diameter studs.
