2. Structural Ground
It is always recommended that the welding ground be attached to a spot on a
beam that has been ground clean. Poor or inadequate ground connections can
result in a loss of weld current and, therefore, affect weld quality.
4. Welding Current
It is essential to have the correct weld current for each application. The normal
ranges are listed below. When excessive cable lengths are used, the result will
be a reduction in weld current. This can contribute to weld inconsistency or even
weld failure. Always use 4/0 cables in the welding circuit, when excessive length
is required. The amount of cable totally depends upon the power source being
used. It may be necessary in some cases to parallel cable when long runs are
necessary.

Gun lift should be measured with a stud and ferrule in place and the gun compressed
as if to weld, using an insulated piece of material, such as a piece of wood.
Weld current should also be checked by using an amp meter and should be
checked periodically due to cable heating which can cause a reduction in weld
current.
NOTE: For 3/4" weld thru deck application settings, consult your local Stud
Welding Associates representative.
6. Testing of W elded S
Welded tuds
Studs
At least two studs should be bent in any direction to a 30 degree angle from weld
position striking with a hammer or bending with a pipe. For deformed bar anchors,
bend around a pin the diameter that is equal to twice the diameter of the
specimen. If a failure occurs, re-adjust settings and repeat test. Once the set-
up has been approved, production may be started. It is a good idea to test two
or three studs every half hour to assure that the set-up has not changed. This
can be accomplished by bending several studs to a 15 degree angle from
weld position. If a failure does not occur, the welds should be considered good.
It is not necessary to straighten a stud that is bent. Testing should be carried
out at the beginning of each day, after any change in operator, or if the set-up is
changed in any way.

7 . Visual Inspection
Visual inspection should show a full 360 degree weld fillet, although not
necessarily the same fillet height around the circumference of the stud. An
under cut at the weld interface will be cause for rejection. If the fillet is something
less than 360 degrees complete the fillet by hand welding. The studs should
then be tested by bending 15 degrees from their original axis either by striking
with a hammer or placing a pipe over the stud and manually or mechanically
bending the stud. If a failure does not occur, the weld should be considered
good. If the weld fails, the studs should be replaced. (See AWS D1.1, Section
7.8.1)
8 . General Information
G) Beam flanges should be free of paint, rust and any other foreign material.
K) Test weld set-up at the start of each day and every half hour.

Certification of personnel for stud welding applications is available from
SWA personnel upon request.
