If you’re looking to get started on your stud welding and need direct access to all you need at one friendly location, look no further than NFS.
The range of different applications that stud welding is suited to casts a wide net over industrial and small-scale manufacturing. When it comes to fabricating components for electronics, stud welding is a primary source for manufacturing durable, specialized electrical enclosures.
What are Electrical Enclosures?
Electrical systems are powerful tools for many purposes, from directing and storing current to computing the trajectory of a space shuttle. Despite their powerful capabilities, electronics themselves are often fragile systems with little defense against liquids, extreme temperatures, lights, and many other stresses. Because of their vulnerability overall, electrical enclosures are critical components in the majority of systems.
Electrical enclosures are essentially cabinet units that protect and store electrical systems. They can range from simple box units made from aluminum to ruggedized, highly durable enclosures built with weather-resistant alloys. Enclosures can be standardized to a specific range of electrical setups or they can be specialized to a fit a uniquely designed electrical unit.
For all types of electrical enclosures fitting all types of electrical systems, stud welding is an extremely useful method of construction for several reasons:
- Stud welding creates a clean weld without a mark on the surface opposite to the weld
- Using high-quality studs and welding tools creates a strong weld connection
- Certain stud types can be fabricated for controlled conduction of electricity
- Welds can be created on the interior of an electrical enclosure for a clean, mark-free exterior
- Stud weld connections bind greater areas of a surface than other types of welding
- Enclosures made with stud welding can be fabricated with a wide range of materials
- Stud welding offers a rapid build process without sacrificing quality
For any size or shape of electrical enclosure, stud welding is a great choice for a clean, seamless, finished look.
