Stud Welding

Stud welding allows fastener elements such as threaded studs or nuts to be permanently attached to a component such as a wear plate liner, allowing it to be fitted accurately and quickly. This is a very cost-effective process, especially when performed on wear plate which is more time-consuming to drill, tap and weld.

Stud welding, also known as stud arc welding, joins a stud and another piece of metal together. The stud is usually joined to a flat plate by using the stud as one of the electrodes. The polarity used in stud welding depends on the type of metal being used.Welding steel requires direct-current electrode negative (DCEN).

Stud welding uses a type of flux called a ferrule, a ceramic ring which concentrates the heat generated, prevents oxidation and retains the molten metal in the weld zone. The ferrule is broken off of the fastener after the weld is completed.

What we do

Total Steel can supply full manufactured lengths in any of our range. We can also assist our customers by offering the following processing services

Plasma Cutting Oxy Cutting Bevelling Saw Cutting Stud Welding Drilling & Countersinking Bending & Rolling Machining Pipe Threading

Plasma Cutting

Powerful and reliable high definition plasma units

Fully rotational 360 degree bevel head cutting systems perfect for all your preps welds, chamfers, general engineering and fabrication purposes cutting up to 50mm thick material.

Full CNC controlled machine with greater tolerance allowing highly accurate shapes to be produced & better cut quality

Oxy Cutting

Six head multi torch oxy fuel cutting machines

Oxy propane cutting process is achieved by blowing away the molten material which is melted by combustion heat of acetylene gas and oxygen.

With a capacity of cutting mild steel plate up to 300mm thick; quenched and tempered plate up to 160mm thick.

We have the ability to produce almost any shape from large plates that makes oxy cutting ideal for a wide range of industries.

What is Bevelling

There are situations when steel plates are so thick that it would be impossible to obtain a good weld without weld preparation, i.e. without bevelling. Normally, plates thicker than 4 mm need to be bevelled before welding.

Saw Cutting

Total Steel can save you time and money by delivering your pipe, merchant sections or RHS products cut to size.

By feeding in bulk material we can ensure that your products are cut accurately and meet your specifications with either perfectly square ends or 45 degree mitre ends.

Stud Welding

Stud welding to wear plate enables rapid fitting of wear plate liners to chutes, feed slots and hoppers.

Drilling and Countersinking

Drilling wear plates requires replaceable carbide tipped inserts using robust drilling equipment to avoid tip chipping caused by excess movement

However the drilling of EHSP wear plates requires the use of tungsten

All other grades can be drilled with high speed drills provided care is taken

Bending & Rolling

Using a number of horizontal roles, plate is curved into a range of radial shapes

Machining

Plate hardness determines the speed and cutting depth. When machining , carbide tipped cutting tools will perform best.

Pipe Threading

Total Steel can thread commercial pipe from 15 nb - 100 nb to BSP thread standards, in both standard and cut-to-length.

Plasma Cutting
