Ceramic Locating Pins

Locating pins for Nut welding are produced with several different materials and several different coatings. Generally speaking, the more costly the pin, the “longer life” it has in production. As a long time distributor of resistance welding supplies, we stock commonly used pins at competitive prices.

Below is an introduction to the basic pin materials. Pins are available in standard shapes and can be made in custom shapes upon request. After reviewing the different pin materials & coatings, give us call and we can help determine which material is best for your application.
