Shear Connector are typically used in composite steel construction to tie the concrete slab to steel members and resist shear force between the concrete slab and steel members. It’s one of a classic application of drawn arc stud welding technology. It is widely used in steel constructions, bridges, power station, traffic station, oil and gas station, etc.
Ceramic Ferrules are essential parts of the standard drawn arc stud welding process. In the process, the shear connectors are inserted into the center of hole of the ceramic ferrule, the ferrule will be pressed on the welding surface by ceramic ferrule holder with the force of spring device inside the stud welding gun. The ceramic ferrule is used for one weld only and is removed once the molten metal has solidified.
SINOARS® Arc Stud Welding Technology can weld studs, shear connectors with diameter from 8mm-25mm to workpiece within very short time. Some traditional welding processes like drilling, tapping, manual welding and so on are omitted in certain areas, which is significant for improving efficient and getting stable welding effects. They are widely used in steel reinforced concrete structures, steel constructions, shipbuilding, vehicle constructions, refractory industry and so on.
