Capacitor Discharge Welding
You will achieve the repeatability and uptime you desire with a PECo-manufactured Capacitor Discharge Welding System. With 20+ years of experience designing and building CD Welding Systems you can count on PECo to meet your Capacitor Discharge Welding System needs. PECo's experienced engineers and applications experts will work with you from the start to design and build the best system for your application.
Capacitor Discharge Welding is ideal for many hard-to-weld materials including:
-
Alloy steels (even those containing Sulfur and Lead)
-
Powdered metals
-
Dissimilar metals
-
Steels
-
Some High C Cast Irons (welded without creating a brittle weld structure!)
-
Copper
-
Many Others
Common coated materials can also be joined:
-
Zinc
-
Copper Flash
-
Nickel
-
Yellow Dichromate
-
Aluminum
-
Plastic
The Capacitor Discharge welding process (also known as High-Speed Pulse Welding) forms a diffusion or forge-type weld. Rapid metal bonding (approximately 10 ms) causes minimal part heating producing a weld without distortion, discoloration or annealing. This highly controllable, efficient welding process allows the creation of powdered metal component designs not possible with other joining options.
You can count on a PECo Capacitor Discharge Welding System to deliver the high quality welds you need. With over 60 years of welding experience and 20 years in the design and build of Capacitor Discharge (CD) welding systems you can count on us to know our stuff!
