CD STUD MILD STEEL M6 X 12MM - PER 100 PACK
Volume Discounts for ABN / Account holders -
Product Overview
This pack of 100 CD Studs (Capacitor Discharge Studs) in Mild Steel, M6 thread x 12mm length is designed for fast, precise, and permanent stud welding applications. CD studs are widely used across construction, fabrication, automotive, shopfitting, and sheet metal industries where a strong, clean, and distortion-free weld fixing point is required — without marking or damaging the reverse side of the base material.
Manufactured to consistent tolerances from high-quality mild steel, these M6 x 12mm studs are compatible with standard capacitor discharge (CD) stud welding guns and equipment, delivering reliable, repeatable welds every time.
Key Features
- Material: Mild Steel — durable, weldable, and cost-effective for general fabrication use
- Thread Size: M6 (6mm diameter, standard metric coarse thread)
- Length: 12mm — ideal for thin to medium-gauge sheet metal applications
- Weld Type: Capacitor Discharge (CD) stud welding — no visible marking, discolouration, or distortion on the reverse face
- Pack Quantity: 100 studs per pack — ideal for trade, workshop, and bulk fabrication use
- Fast Fusion: Instant fusion weld with minimal heat input, suitable for thin materials (typically 0.5mm+)
- Consistent Quality: Uniform tip design for reliable arc initiation and weld strength
How CD Studs Work
CD (Capacitor Discharge) stud welding uses a rapid discharge of stored electrical energy through a pointed tip on the stud, creating an instantaneous weld in milliseconds. This process is ideal for thin sheet metal because it generates very little heat, preventing warping, burn-through, or visible marking on the opposite side of the panel — making it the preferred method for architectural, automotive, and appliance manufacturing applications.
Typical Applications
- Sheet metal fabrication and enclosures
- Automotive panel and trim fixing
- Shopfitting and signage installation
- HVAC ductwork and cladding
- Electrical cabinet and switchboard manufacturing
- Kitchen and appliance assembly
- General metalwork requiring blind-side fixing points
