Abstract: A stud welding process and a stud welding device for welding a stud to a workpiece are provided, wherein an arc (LB) is generated between the surface of the stud that faces the workpiece and the workpiece by using a pulsed welding current (Is), and the arc (LB) is deflected by a magnetic field which is generated by a coil through which a current (IA) flows. The current (IA) through the coil for generating the magnetic field for deflecting the arc (LB) is activated synchronously and in anti-phase with the welding current (Is) by a current (IA) always being applied to the coil when the welding current (Is) is at a minimum, and the coil being switched off or the current (IA) through the coil being reduced to a minimum when the welding current (Is) is at a maximum.

Abstract: A device and a method for welding a welding stud to a substrate are disclosed. A welding current is applied to a welding stud between the welding stud and the substrate, whereby a material of the welding stud and the substrate is partially liquefied. The welding stud is then immersed into the solidifying material of the welding stud or the substrate in order to create a bond between the welding stud and the substrate.
