The material mix in modern lightweight vehicles is seeing highly rigid steel or noise suppression plates being used increasingly.Welding studs with spot shaped flanges causes problems of stability; in noise suppression plates the danger arises that a layer can be melted through and the plastic coating damaged.Instead of using expensive insert nuts, rivets or screw solutions, the Tucker ring flange stud is the optimum solution. Its large contact surface guarantees transferability of torque and other resistances which was previously not possible.
