Ceramic Weld Pins

Welding pins centerline offers a wide collection of welding pins ranging from stainless steel to hard coated to our new durapin design.

Ceramic weld pins.

Our ceramic pins are made of hard stabilized zirconium oxide or silicon nitrate which provide longer life than steel pins with no risk of electrical shorting. The heat resistant and non conductive ceramic pin materials help achieve consistency over hundreds of thousands or millions of welds without the need for constant downtime and replacement. Weld pins location pins and fixture building components for durable precise and accurate part handling and placement. With solid ceramic pins however there are no coatings to wear off.

The extremely hard ceramic materials resist wear and spatter without any risk of localized damage and compromising of the coating. Standard and custom nose designs are available for either manual or auto load fastener loading options. Doceram s line of industrial ceramic components is the perfect answer to current trends and challenges in modern manufacturing especially in the automotive industry. Sialons are silicon nitride based ceramics which possess a number of characteristics such as excellent mechanical thermal and chemical properties making them ideal in metal forming applications.

Ceramic welding pins made of silicon nitride significantly increase service life and enable high levels of precision and greater accuracy over extended periods in projection welding. Doceram uses several lines of ceramic materials including the patented shatter resistant cerazur and volcera to meet the needs of different applications from resistance and mig tig welding tooling to. Weld location pins international syalons manufactures a comprehensive range of silicon nitride sialon and zirconia advanced ceramic weld location and control pins. Ceramic locating pins locating pins for nut welding are produced with several different materials and several different coatings.

Metal welding pins often need to be replaced several times a day due to wear and adhering slag whereas centering pins made of silicon nitride ceramics only need to be replaced about once a month. These are used in the metal forming industry to allow precise welding of nuts to sheet metal. Generally speaking the more costly the pin the longer life it has in production. Ceramic pins are well suited for most applications and can outlast traditional steel pins by factors of 50 or more if used properly.

Ceramic weld pins doceram s shatter resistant ceramic weld pins have up to 40x the service life of standard coated pins in the toughest applications. The insulative ceramic coating has a true metallurgical bond with the steel core it won t chip or flake like sprayed or dipped ceramic coated pins. Doceram s ceramic weld pins made from cerazur in blue and volcera gray are the toughest in the resistance welding industry. These are used in the metal forming industry to allow precise welding of nuts to sheet metal.

International syalons manufacture a comprehensive range of silicon nitride sialon and zirconia advanced ceramic weld location and control pins. Our welding pins are suitable for virtually any weld nut or weld stud fastener design.
