Stud Manufacture Steps - 100% In-House

There are many steps in the manufacturing process and every step is critical. A misstep can lead to stud failure. That's why ARP continually invests in best equipment, technology and personnel.

The steps listed below are some of the steps that a given stud goes through before "ARP" is stamped on the end – your assurance that it has met ARPs rigorous quality standards. Every stud has a different manufacturing specification, so not every stud goes through each of these steps.

But you can be guaranteed every step happens under ARP's roof in the hands of an ARP employee!

1. Cutoff from wire or bar stock

2. Heat Treat

3. Machining - centerless grinding to ensure concentricity

4. Thread Rolling

5. Shot Peening - to remove stress risers

6. Metal Finishing - Black Oxide coated, or in the case of Stainless, polishing

7. Packing - studs are coated to prevent surface corrosion prior to packing and storage
