The stud is also known as shear stud, weld stud, or shear connector. It is suitable for the penetration welding between steel beam and steel deck. The basic specifications are ¢ 13, ¢ 16, ¢ 19, ¢ 22, and ¢ 25. Special specifications are also available.
The common accessory for the stud is the ceramic ring. The specification of the ring should match with that of the stud.
