Shear Stud Bolts
Shear connectors and stud types for composite steel construction — used to tie concrete slabs to steel members and resist shear forces between them.
Stud Types
Shear connectors and threaded / unthreaded studs for composite construction and industrial fastening.
Shear Connector
Shear connectors are typically used in composite steel construction to tie the concrete slab to steel members and resist shear forces between the concrete slab and steel members.
Threaded Stud With Reduced Shaft (Type RD)
The RD-type studs have a reduced weld base diameter. Thus they can produce a smaller weld collar diameter than other DA-type studs. The smaller weld collar allows it to use on smaller clearance holes application. But the strength of the assembly is determined by the reduced weld base.
Full Threaded Stud (Type FD)
The FD-type studs are threaded almost to the top of the welding tip. Thus after welding the studs are threaded up to the weld collar. They are recommended whenever full fastener length is needed.
Unthreaded Stud (Type UD)
The UD-type studs are designed to be used in the power generation industry, forging applications, locator pins, stops, and similar uses.
Ceramic Ferrules
Matching ceramic ferrules for shear connectors and drawn-arc stud welding, including through-metal-deck applications.
Ceramic Ferrule (Through Metal Deck)
Ceramic ferrules for shear connectors — weld through metal deck applications.
Ceramic Ferrule (Type PF)
Ceramic ferrules Type PF for drawn-arc stud welding operations.
Ceramic Ferrule (Type RF)
Ceramic ferrules Type RF for drawn-arc stud welding operations.
