Abstract
An anchor stud includes a stud portion including a body portion having a first end that extends to a second end though an intermediate portion. A wedge member is operatively coupled to the second end of the stud portion. The wedge member includes a body having a generally frustoconical profile and is formed from a material having a Vickers hardness of between about 218 HV and about 290 HV. A sleeve element is positioned on the stud portion at the second end adjacent the wedge member. The sleeve element is formed from a material having a Vickers hardness of between about 218 HV and about 290 HV.
Claims25
An anchor stud comprising:
- a stud portion including a body portion having a first end that extends to a second end though an intermediate portion;
- a wedge member operatively coupled to the second end of the stud portion, the wedge member including a body having a generally frustoconical profile, the wedge member being formed from a material having a Vickers hardness of between about 218 HV and about 290 HV;
- and
- a sleeve element positioned on the stud portion at the second end adjacent the wedge member, the sleeve element being formed from a material having a Vickers hardness of between about 218 HV and about 290 HV.
An anchor stud comprising:
- a stud portion including a body portion having a first end that extends to a second end though an intermediate portion;
- a wedge member operatively coupled to the second end of the stud portion, the wedge member including a body being formed from a hypoeutectic steel having a Vickers hardness of between about 218 HV and about 290 HV;
- and
- a sleeve element positioned on the stud portion at the second end adjacent the wedge member, the sleeve element being formed from a hypoeutectic steel having a Vickers hardness of between about 218 HV and about 290 HV.
A method of forming an anchor stud, the method comprising:
- forming a stud portion including a body portion having a first end that extends to a second end though an intermediate portion;
- providing a wedge member formed from a hypoeutectic steel having a Vickers hardness of between about 218 HV and about 290 HV at the second end of the stud portion;
- and
- attaching a sleeve element formed from a hypoeutectic steel having a Vickers hardness of between about 218 HV and about 290 HV to the stud portion at the second end portion adjacent the wedge member.
