Product Overview
Heavy-duty 19mm x 75mm Shear Stud (Annular Weld / AW type) supplied complete with ceramic ferrules (shields), packed 90 studs per box. Engineered for structural composite construction, these shear studs create a mechanical bond between steel beams and concrete slabs, ensuring the two materials act as a single composite structural element under load.
Key Specifications
- Diameter: 19mm
- Length: 75mm
- Type: AW (Annular Weld) shear stud connector
- Includes: Ceramic shields/ferrules for arc shielding during stud welding
- Pack Quantity: 90 studs per box
- Material: Cold-drawn, low-carbon steel
- Application: Composite steel-concrete beam and slab construction
Product Description
Shear studs (also known as stud connectors, shear connectors, or welded studs) are essential fixings in composite steel-frame construction. This 19x75mm AW shear stud is drawn arc stud welded directly onto steel beams and flanges, transferring horizontal shear forces between the steel section and the poured concrete slab above. This composite action significantly increases the load-bearing capacity, stiffness, and overall structural efficiency of the floor or roof system, while reducing steel tonnage requirements compared to non-composite design.
Each stud in this pack comes supplied with its matching ceramic ferrule (shield), which is placed around the stud during the stud welding process. The ferrule contains and shapes the weld arc, shields the weld pool from atmospheric contamination, and produces a clean, consistent, high-integrity fillet weld collar around the base of the stud — critical for achieving reliable shear capacity and passing bend testing on site.
Common Applications
- Composite steel beam-to-concrete slab flooring systems
- Composite metal decking floors in commercial and industrial buildings
- Bridge deck construction (composite steel-concrete bridge girders)
- Car park structures and multi-storey steel-framed buildings
- Any structural application requiring mechanical shear transfer between steel and concrete
Why Choose This Shear Stud
- Ready-to-weld pack – shields included, no need to source ferrules separately
- Standard AW profile – compatible with most stud welding guns and standard composite design tables
- Bulk pack of 90 – ideal for site use on medium to large composite floor pours
- Consistent quality – manufactured to suit drawn-arc stud welding processes for reliable weld penetration
Ordering Information
Sold per pack of 90 studs (complete with 90 ceramic shields). Suitable for use with standard stud welding equipment. Please confirm compatibility with your welding gun and project specification/engineer's design before ordering.
