Nelson Stud Welding invented the stud welding process. Stud welding is used worldwide to weld fasteners to metal while manufacturing aluminum, and steel products. As the original innovator of the process, we are still leading the industry with products that are specifically developed to meet our customers needs. The split second fastening process saves time and money by utilizing cutting edge technology that monitors all aspects of the welding application. Over 75 years of design, engineering, and manufacturing excellence have gone into perfecting the durability of our fastener products for use in high-stress environments. Stud Welding is used in applications such as off-road construction equipment, large expansion bridges, skyscrapers, high performance cars, nuclear power plants, and shipbuilding. Ted Nelson, the inventor of the Stud Welding Process, was recognized for saving millions of man hours during WWII while constructing aircraft carriers in California.
