What is Arc Stud Welding?
Arc stud welding is a process by which a metal fastener is welded to a parent metal through a fusion weld. Using a &#;ferrule&#; to capture and retain the weld&#;s heat, the molten metal created by the process cools the weld site and produces a weld that is stronger than the stud itself. Drawn arc stud welding can be used with dissimilar metals such as mild and stainless steel, as well as aluminum.

Looking at AWS D1.4 Section 5.1.2 - the filler metal should be selected based on the lower tensile strength base metal. A706 grade 60 reinforcing steel has a tensile strength of 80 ksi. A36 plate has a tensile strength of 58-80 ksi. To me, this means that they have the same tensile strength (using the upper end of the range for the plate).
Table 5.1 reads to use E80 electrodes for the reinforcing steel. This is consistent with the PCI Design Manual, which states that E70 electrodes are not permitted for grade 60 reinforcement (this note is new in the 7th edition - previous additions showed E70 as an option, but the fillet weld sizes were larger). I came across an AWS interpretation document (
Does anyone have any literature or code road map that can shed some light on this?
I have always shown E80 electrodes to be used when welding A706 rebar to steel. I received a question from a fabricator recently that caused me to look into this much more closely.Looking at AWS D1.4 Section 5.1.2 - the filler metal should be selected based on the lower tensile strength base metal.
