A Half Thread Stud is a type of fastener with threads only on one portion of its length, leaving the other portion smooth. This design allows the stud to be inserted into a hole or component that does not require threading along its entire length. The threaded portion is typically used to attach a nut or other threaded components, while the smooth portion can be used for mounting or positioning without affecting the alignment. ... Half-threaded studs are commonly used in applications where a strong connection is required, such as in machinery, automotive, and construction, especially when a full thread is unnecessary for the application. They are made from materials like steel, stainless steel, or brass, offering strength, corrosion resistance, and durability.
