What Are Tire Studs Made Of?

Usually, anti skid tire studs are generally composed of the following parts:

Pin part: also known as the tip, is the part of the anti-skid stud that is in direct contact with the ground, which is usually sharper and can be embedded in the ice, snow or slippery ground to provide grip, with a length direction and a width direction, which is generally the same as the axial direction of the tire, and the width direction is the same as the circumferential direction of the tire.

Main part: a columnar part connecting the pin part and the flange part, which can be further divided into an upper part, a lower part and an intermediate part. The upper part is located on the side of the pin part and has a relatively large cross-section length; the lower part is located on the side of the flange part and has a relatively small cross-section length; the middle part is a conical column connecting the upper part and the lower part, and its cross-section shape gradually decreases in length from the upper side to the lower side.

Flange: also called the root, located in the other end of the anti-skid stud, the main role is to fix the anti-skid stud in the tire's trye stud concave part, to prevent the anti-skid stud from falling off the tire, its size and shape design will affect the anti-skid stud and the tire's connection solidity.

From the material point of view, tire studs generally have tungsten carbide, steel, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy these categories. Tungsten carbide studs are able to effectively deal with snow, ice and hard road surfaces due to the hard and wear-resistant characteristics of tungsten carbide. Aluminum alloy studs are lighter and have a certain degree of corrosion resistance, and are suitable for use in areas that are not extremely cold, but their wear resistance is relatively low, so they are usually not suitable for prolonged driving on snow and ice.
