Reduced Base Studs

Reduced Base Studs are used in all types of applications. They can be welded to a flat surface, or to the inside or outside of an angle.

• Tensile Strength: 61,000 psi min.
• Yield Strength: 49,000 psi min.
• Elongation (% in 2 in.): 17% min.
• Elongation (% in 5x dia.): 4% min.
• Reduction of Area: 50% min.

Length: Length is listed before weld. Studs diameters 1/2” and below will be approx. 1/8” shorter after welding. 5/8” will be approx. 3/16” shorter after welding. Stud Welding Products RB Studs can be made in any length above the standard minimum.

Material: Low carbon steel, ASTM A29, 1010 1020. RB studs are also available in weldable stainless steel. Type 302 is the most commonly used. Other grades of stainless steel (except Type 303) are available when required.
