Shear connector studs with ferrules are steel fasteners welded onto steel beams to create composite action between steel and concrete. At New Star Industries, these studs are manufactured in common sizes such as 12 mm, 16 mm, 20 mm, and 25 mm (including inch equivalents). They improve load transfer, structural strength, and construction efficiency in bridges, industrial buildings, and composite floor systems.
At New Star Industries, we manufacture and supply shear connector studs with ferrules that are widely used in composite construction projects across infrastructure, industrial, and commercial sectors. These studs are critical in projects where steel girders and concrete slabs must act together as one strong structural system.
Shear connector studs are solid steel studs welded onto steel beams or girders to transfer shear forces between the steel section and the concrete slab poured above it. Once the concrete sets, the studs prevent slip between steel and concrete, allowing both materials to behave as a single composite unit.
Ferrules are ceramic rings used during stud welding. They help contain the molten metal, stabilize the welding arc, and form a strong weld collar at the base of the stud. At New Star Industries, we ensure proper compatibility between the stud and ferrule so that welding results are consistent, strong, and reliable at site.
Most projects in India are executed in millimetres (MM), but many drawings and international standards still refer to inch sizes. To make selection easy for our clients, we deal in both MM and inch-equivalent sizes.
At New Star Industries, shear connector studs with ferrules are commonly manufactured in the following sizes:
The most commonly supplied type is the headed shear connector stud, where the head provides strong anchorage inside concrete and improves resistance against pull-out forces. These are preferred for heavy-load and structural applications.
We also support plain stud requirements in specific design conditions where engineers specify alternative anchorage behaviour. All studs supplied with ferrules are suitable for drawn-arc stud welding systems commonly used at site.
Our shear connector studs with ferrules are used in:
We work closely with fabricators and contractors to ensure the right stud size and quantity are supplied for each project stage.
One of our key advantages is consistent quality control. Each stud is manufactured with accurate dimensions and compatible ferrules to ensure smooth welding and strong bonding at site.
We also support project-based supply, meaning we understand drawings, load requirements, and timelines. Our pricing remains competitive across large-volume projects without compromising material strength or weld performance.
Most importantly, our shear studs are designed to perform reliably under real site conditions - vibration, load cycles, and long-term service - which is why our products are repeatedly used across multiple projects by the same clients.
