Shear Stud Welding Manufacturers in India
Shear stud welding are used in a wide range of construction welding applications. Artech Welders is focused on manufacturing headed shear connector studs (concreted studs) ranging in length from 50 mm to 300 mm for all standard diameters. Over the years, the company has evolved to become one of the leading shear stud welding connectors in India.
Working of headed shear stud welding connectors
Shear connectors provide a powerful point of connection between two materials that are otherwise difficult to connect. By doing this, headed shear connector studs play a critical role in providing stability for shear loading forces. Shear stud welding connectors are used to ensure proper shear transfer between steel girders and composite slab. Shear stud welding are typically used in constructions such as steel composite bridges, military equipment, and commercial buildings as well.
In commercial buildings where a concrete slab rests on top of steel beams, the slabs cannot offer lateral restraint on their own. in such cases, shear connectors are inserted to connect the slab to the beam top. these connectors are welded to the steal beam tops at regular intervals throughout the beam.
At Artech, we emphasize on understanding the nuances of construction in detail. As its adapts to the changes in the industry, the company has developed a series of perimeters that could help engineers get the most out of stud connectors.
There are four critical questions that an engineer should ask while placing shear stud welding connectors:
- Will the plane section remain plane? or will it be affected by weather, wear out and lose surface
- Would the steel flange buckle?
- What is the bursting force from group of connectors?
- Did you take vertical separation into consideration?

Shear stud welding price and supply factors
Being a price-sensitive market, it is important that these components are available in India at the right price points. Currently, around 60% of total stud connectors in India are imported. However, the Indian manufacturing sector is now catching up to plug the gap.
In recent months, the rise of Corona virus threat has hampered international supply chains. Sourcing from China has always carried a certain risk due to issues such as Corona virus as well as concerns about quality. Having its own strong manufacturing facility, Artech has always helped companies with assured supply and quality. Making the best shear connectors and welding machines available domestically has been a mission for Artech, and the company has over the years emerged as one of India’s largest manufacturer of shear connector welding machines. Backed by state-of-the-art machines from Germany, the company is poised to ensure supply of quality stud connectors at reasonable prices.
