Steel can be used for capacitor discharge stud welding as well as for drawn arc stud welding. Many industries prefer the use of steel for stud welding as it is a sturdy material with excellent properties.
By Stud Diameter:
The 3-12 mm sub-segment dominated the global stud welding machine market in 2021. The growth of this segment is majorly attributed to its growing application across industries such as marine, transportation, shipbuilding, and automotive. The use of 3mm to 12mm studs is known as short cycle stud welding as these studs offer an undisturbed backside finish with a rapid attachment.
By Operation:
The semi-automatic segment dominated the global market in 2021. Semi-automatic stud welding machines are widely used owing to their cost efficiency and ease of operation. This is because, with semi-automatic stud welding, there is no need for skilled labor. With semi-automatic stud welding, no filler wire is required which makes the welding process economical, the overall operation cost is minimized, and ample space for designing is provided. Also, the semi-automatic stud welding machine can be used for high-strength applications.
By End-Use Industry:
The construction sub-segment dominated the global stud welding machine market share in 2021. The stud welding machine is widely used for the construction of bridges. The stud welding machines help organizations in minimizing the downtime of the machinery and ensure that the equipment function properly. The use of stud welding machines in the construction sector ensures versatility and portability as the construction sector demands the use of equipment that can withstand harsh conditions and are suitable for repeated usage. The capacitors and fasteners that are welded using stud welding machines are compatible with any off-highway application. These factors are anticipated to boost the stud welding machine market demand across the construction sector.
By region, Asia-Pacific dominated the global market in 2021 and is anticipated to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to rapid developments in the construction, automotive, and shipbuilding industries. For instance, China is the leading automotive market in the world in terms of manufacturing, production, and sales.
