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 greater than about 220 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 greater than about 220 HV.
Claims27
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 formed from a material having a Vickers hardness greater than about 220 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 greater than about 220 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 greater than about 220 HV at the second end of the stud portion;
- and
- disposing a sleeve element formed from a hypoeutectic steel having a Vickers hardness greater than about 220 HV about the stud portion at the second end portion adjacent the wedge member.
A method of forming an anchor stud comprising:
- forming a stud portion including a body portion having a first end that extends to a second end though an intermediate portion;
- forming a wedge member from a hypoeutectic steel having a Vickers hardness of greater than about 220 HV at the second end of the stud portion;
- forming a sleeve element from a hypoeutectic steel;
- treating the sleeve element with a spherodized annealing process to establish a first hardness;
- and
- cold working the sleeve element to establish a second hardness, the second hardness being greater than about 220 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 having a generally frustoconical profile, the wedge member being formed from a material having a first hardness;
- 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 second hardness;
- and
- at least one gripping element formed on the sleeve element, the at least one gripping element having a hardness that is distinct from the second hardness.
