What Are Weld Studs?

Weld studs are cold formed and/or CNC machined metal parts that are designed to be stud welded to substrates made of similar metal. Weld studs can be threaded to be used as a fastener or unthreaded to be used as a pin or locator. They can be made from low-carbon steels, stainless steels, aluminum, and even nickel-iron alloys. Their diameters can range from approximately .100” (4mm) up to 1” (25mm), with lengths ranging from .25” (6mm) and up. They can be straight, bent and even have flanges and collars to be used as stand-offs, and can be internally tapped

• No Thread
• Collar Studs — Collar Studs are usually used as standoffs for wire routing, plate spacing etc.
• Full Base — Full base studs are used when maximum shear is needed for a given thread size
• Reduced Base — Reduced base studs are used when the application design does allow clearance for the collar of weld flash/li>
