Hobby welding and professional welding alike can be completely undone by improperly selected fastening systems. Whether it’s the welding method, the base materials, or the quality of the tools at play, working with a systemic mismatch will stop any welding project in its tracks. Northland Fastening Systems (NFS) provides in-depth, professional welding support and materials to help ensure that no projects are stymied by unsuitable fastening solutions.
Look before You Leap
Usually, an unsuitable fastening system isn’t something as obvious as, say, trying to use nails with steel beams. Instead, professional welding fastening issues tend to be subtler. Maybe the grading of the steel isn’t suited to the selected studs or the voltage of the power supply is too low for consistent bonds. How do welders know which fastening systems are best suited for their needs? Often the answer comes from prior experience and research. Understanding the characteristics of the materials you’re using can go a long way. And, perhaps, even more fundamentally, understand the quality of those materials.
High-Quality Fastening Systems
In some cases, a fastening system fails because the power, condition, or quality of the professional welding tools isn’t up to snuff. Even if the base materials and studs are well suited in theory, the end results could still be inconsistent if a professional welder isn’t working with quality goods. This means that professional welders must be able to judge whether a fastening system is ill suited to their needs, and whether the tools themselves have been prepared and manufactured to handle the job. The good news is that welders aren’t on their own when trying to strike this balance.
