Features:

Made by high-quality, low-carbon, headed steel wire, make sure shear studs' mechanical properties and welding properties, and no cracks on the studs' heads.
High precision multi-station cold forming machine ensures high precision and constant shear stud dimensions, with a round chamfer at the end of the studs.
High precision dimensions make the shear studs easy to load into the welding gun chuck and hold tight properly; Flat weld end with round chamfer makes the shear studs easy to insert into the ceramic ferrule hole, and get a 360-degree perfect weld collar.
Accurately calculated aluminium flux is automatically embedded by unique equipment, ensuring the welding quality and avoiding cavities in the welding bead.

Surface Treatment:

IKING shear connectors used high-quality low-carbon steel processed by pickling and phosphating, ensuring the studs have long time anti-rust condition.

Key Features

Manufactured to ASTM A108 shear stud standards

Stable performance in demanding environments

Strong bonding through reliable shear stud welding

Consistent material quality for reduced failure rates

Suitable for large-scale structural applications

A good stud doesn’t just hold things together — it makes the whole process smoother.

Welding Process

Drawn-arc stud welding for shear connectors can be performed mechanically or automatically using welding guns or welding heads. The shear stud is inserted into the stud holder and, if necessary, fitted with a ceramic ferrule, then applied to the workpiece. At the beginning of the welding process, the stud is lifted by the mechanism and, normally, first a pilot arc, then the main arc, is struck between the tip of the shear stud and the workpiece. This causes the face of the stud and the parent material to melt. When the welding time has elapsed, the shear stud is plunged with little force (< 100 N) into the molten pool, and the current source is switched off. The ceramic ferrule is then removed. The figure shows the sequence of events using a ceramic ferrule.

FAQ

1. What are shear stud connectors used for?

Shear stud connectors are used to connect steel and concrete in composite structures, ensuring load transfer.

2. What is an ASTM A108 shear stud?

An ASTM A108 shear stud is made from standardized carbon steel, ensuring consistent mechanical properties.

3. How does shear stud welding work?

Shear stud welding uses an arc process to fuse the stud to the base metal, creating a strong bond.

4. Why is weld consistency important?

Inconsistent welding can lead to structural failure or rework, increasing project costs.

5. What affects shear stud price?

Material quality, size, and production consistency all influence shear stud price.

6. Are these suitable for hot climates?

Yes, they are designed to perform in demanding environments, including high-temperature regions.
