Weld Studs
Weld Studs
(OP)
A consulting engineer has specified 3/4" DIA headed studs welded at a 45 DEG angle to a flat plate. I have searched and called around to our stud suppliers and they do not seem to have studs and ferrules available for this application. They suggest welding straight and then bending over. The other alternative is to grind standard studs at 45 DEG to get a decent fitup and then fillet weld. Obviously production would like to be able shoot these rather than fillet weld each one individually. Any thoughts or recommendations?
Thanks

But I think the more important question is why a 45 degree weld to a flat plate? What is forcing the stud from being straight?

We submitted drawings showing the stud moved back on the plate and straight, with approximately 5" of cover which would have placed it just inside the first wall mat. We have had no luck negotiating or submitting changes. Loads are not quantifiable, mainly a corner guard for lack of a better term. I will post a sketch showing detail after hours. I believe our best alternative is to grind the studs to a 45 DEG angle and then fillet weld by hand.
Nelson can make it work for 1/2" DIA but they have not gotten back to me with the 3/4 stud problem. Problem is the stud base on the 3/4" anchor does not come close to the base material at 45 DEG.

YOu bend it to test the weld to see if OK. I've never seen one welded at 45 degrees and have never seen a stud with a bevelled base.
