Threaded Collar Washer Weld Studs (TCW) are ARC weld studs designed for refractory insulation systems and require a permanently retained washer. The washer is assembled before thread rolling, creating a fixed one-piece configuration that cannot be removed after manufacture. Available in mild steel and stainless steel, these threaded weld studs are widely used in heat recovery power generation and other high-temperature industrial applications.

Available in mild steel and stainless steel, these threaded weld studs are widely used in heat recovery power generation and other high-temperature industrial applications where reliable insulation retention and welded fastening are required.
Find the right TCW weld stud for your refractory insulation application. We can assist with material selection, dimensions, and compatible ARC welding accessories.
The washer is positioned on the stud before the thread rolling process. Once the threads are formed, the washer is permanently captured, preventing removal and creating a fixed assembly for refractory fastening applications.
The rolled thread provides a secure fastening point for insulation and refractory hardware after welding. This configuration allows threaded attachment while maintaining a permanent welded connection to the base material.
These studs are manufactured for installation using the ARC stud welding process. When used with matching ferrules and welding equipment, they produce a full fusion weld suitable for industrial refractory systems.
Threaded collar washer weld studs are available in mild steel and stainless steel to accommodate varying operating environments, fabrication specifications, and corrosion resistance requirements.
TCW weld studs are primarily used in refractory insulation assemblies found in heat recovery power generation equipment and other high-temperature processing systems requiring welded threaded anchors.
The studs are compatible with standard ARC stud welding accessories, including ferrules, feet, grips, and chucks, ensuring proper equipment setup and repeatable installation across production environments.
