Puddle Weld ⭐

The process is characterized by its speed and the formation of a molten pool (the "puddle") that bridges two pieces of metal.

Unlike a traditional plug weld, where a hole is pre-drilled or punched into the top piece of metal and then filled with weld material, a puddle weld relies on the intense heat of the welding process to burn through the top layer (the metal deck) and fuse it to the bottom layer (the steel beam or joist). puddle weld

In a steel building, the metal deck does more than just hold concrete; it acts as a diaphragm that transfers lateral loads (from wind or earthquakes) to the structural frames and bracing. Puddle welds provide a strong, rigid connection that allows the floor or roof system to act as a unified structural unit. The process is characterized by its speed and

Puddle welds are a staple in high-production environments like and floor system installation. Puddle welds provide a strong, rigid connection that
