ABSTRACT:
A method of welding a stud (11) is provided. In another aspect of the present invention, a welding system is provided for a weld stud (11). A further aspect of the present invention employs a weld stud (11) with a substantially conical end section (29). Still another aspect of the present invention includes a welding method, wherein an aluminum or aluminum alloy stud (11) is brought into contact with an aluminum or aluminum alloy base material (14), voltage is applied between the stud (11) and the base material (14), the stud (11) is lifted slightly off the base material (14), an arc is generated, the tip of the stud (11) and the section of the base material (14) to be melted are melted, pressure is applied to the tip of the stud (11) and the section of the base material (14) that has been melted and the stud (11) and base material (14) are welded together, the current is divided into at least three stages and incrementally increased from the beginning to the end while the main arc is generated, and/or the molten tip of the aluminum or aluminum alloy stud (11) is applied under pressure to the molten base material (14) in under five milliseconds after the arc current has been cut off.
