Capacitive Discharge Welding (CDW) is a similar process to RSW except large amount of energy is released in relatively a short amount of time. A research group at The Ohio State University working under supervision of Dr. Menachem Kimchi and Jerry Gould from EWI has investigated the feasibility of Al/Steel joining via this process.
Capacitive discharge welding, particularly for large-scale systems, is typically done using film-type capacitors. These capacitors store energy along alternating plates separated by a dielectric film. Charge is stored statically along the lengths of the plates. The basic configuration of the film capacitor is provided in Figure 1.
Electrolytic capacitors (E-caps) offer a potential alternative for large capacity CD welding systems. E-caps incorporate an electrolyte impregnated into a separator. The separator is then sandwiched between anodic and cathodic foils. A dielectric is also used to prevent direct contact of the foils with the electrolyte.
Performance was evaluated based on current range behavior and metallographic response. Conclusions from this work include: to film capacitors – An array was developed to provide similar voltage tolerance and system capacitance to a standard film variant conventionally used for CD welding.
CD STUD WELDING GUIDELINES The following guidelines should be followed for producing and maintaining good CD Stud Welds: • Ensure the stud welding equipment is capable of welding the stud size intended to be welded. • Ensure the Stud Welding Equipment is in proper working order and that all cable and ground connections are tight.
The results presented here indicate that electrolytic capacitors, configured to provide similar charge voltage and energy storage, can yield identical weld performance results. Process, mechanical strength, and metallographic results are all identical for the two capacitor arrangements.
