What is the difference between Shear Stud and stud weld nails?

Stud welding nails are a kind of high-strength connection fasteners. They are special welding nails produced specifically for use with stud welding machines. They are mainly divided into long-cycle welding nails, short-cycle welding nails, and capacitive energy storage screws. Among them, studs are a kind of long-cycle welding nails widely used in the steel structure construction industry. They are welded efficiently using arc stud welders. The characteristic of the stud welding machine is that it ensures high-strength one-time welding formation during the welding process.

Shear Stud are a type of high-strength stiffness fasteners used in various steel structure projects to play a rigid combined connection role in different connectors.Shear Studs are the abbreviation of cheese head studs for arc stud welding. The specifications of studs are nominal diameter 10~Ф25mm and total length before welding 40~300mm. In China, most of the load-bearing structures of high-rise buildings use stiff columns, that is, the outer layer of steel is wrapped with concrete. The studs are used on the surface of the steel structure columns to connect the concrete layer on the surface of the columns to increase the connection area. Increase the shear strength of the contact surface, so that the steel column and the concrete surface are firmly combined and jointly stressed. How to use the stud welding machine: Turn on the power of the welding gun, put the cylindrical stud on the welding gun and the anti-arc seat ring, start the welding gun, the current will fuse, the seat ring will generate arc light, and after a short period of time, the cylindrical stud will move at a certain speed The end of the base metal is tightened and melted, and the power supply is cut off and the columnar studs are welded and fixed to the base metal. This method is also called stud welding.
