Our headed shear stud with ceramic ferrule follows ISO13918 standard. Made of carbon steel, it is widely used as shear connector in steel-concrete composite structures for bridges and buildings. It transfers force between steel beam and concrete slab, improving overall structural stability.
Headed shear studs with ceramic ferrules, also known as shear connectors, are manufactured in accordance with ISO 13918:2017. Made of specified carbon steel, they are designed for drawn‑arc stud welding to form a robust connection between steel beams and concrete slabs in composite structures.
The ceramic ferrule serves as a disposable mould during welding. It confines the molten metal, shapes the uniform weld collar and prevents air oxidation, ensuring stable welding quality and consistent mechanical performance.
This shear connector effectively transfers shear force at the steel‑concrete interface, limits relative slip and improves the overall rigidity and load‑bearing capacity of composite structures. Every batch undergoes dimensional inspection and tensile testing before delivery. MTC / EN 10204‑3.1 material certificates can be provided upon request.

This shear stud is widely adopted in steel concrete composite construction projects. Typical applications include high rise building composite floors, highway and railway bridge decks, steel frame platforms, parking structures, and industrial factory beams. It is also suitable for viaducts and other infrastructure projects where composite action between steel and concrete is required.
Our IKING headed shear studs with ceramic ferrules serve as critical shear connectors in steel-concrete composite systems. Beyond high-rise buildings and bridge decks, these studs are applied in large span steel structures, underground comprehensive pipe galleries, offshore platform auxiliary structures, multi-story parking lots and power plant steel composite projects. The product effectively transfers shear force between steel members and concrete, eliminating relative sliding and lifting. It improves the overall rigidity and load bearing capacity of composite floors and bridge slabs, ensuring long-term safety and stability for heavy load engineering projects. It fits both civil building construction and large infrastructure projects.
IKING is a specialized manufacturer focusing on stud welding fasteners and welding accessories. We have complete production, forging and testing workshops. Every batch of shear studs will go through tensile test and dimensional inspection before delivery to guarantee compliance with ISO13918 and GB/T10433 standards.

Q: What is the function of the ceramic ferrule?
A: The ceramic ferrule confines welding flux and molten steel, shaping the weld collar and shielding the weld pool from air.
Q: Can you provide custom length shear studs?
A: Yes, we accept customized lengths according to your project drawings.
Q: What standard does your shear stud follow?
A: Our headed shear studs comply with ISO13918 international standard
