(Reduced Base) welding studs are threaded studs having a reduced weld base diameter and thus produce a smaller weld fillet than any other stud of equal thread diameter. The weld fillet is only slightly greater than the thread diameter, and threads stop at fillet permitting smaller clearance holes
Typical Use : RB studs are frequently used where small clearance holes and close run-down of nuts are essential
