Studs

A stud is similar to a bolt. It’s a length of male thread. What differentiates it from a bolt is that it’s attached to the part. The attachment can be done permanently by welding or another similar process. Or the attachment can be semi-permanent, meaning it’s fixed, but could be removed and replaced if it gets damaged. This is usually done by pressing the stud into a precisely sized hole using tools specifically designed to clamp the base metal around the fastener. Typically the stud will have features on it, like serrations, to resist twisting in the hole and a head to resist pulling through the hole. There are also studs that can be welded in place or threaded into a tapped hole.Why use a stud instead of a bolt? The fact that the stud is secured to the part means you don’t need access to the back side to hold it while you tighten. There may be limited or no access for a tool on the back side. It can also significantly speed up assembly time to have fewer loose parts to assemble.
