Customized Tungsten Carbide Tire Studs with Corrosion Protection Options
Custom studs offered by corrosion protection system, because winter roads attack the body rather than the carbide pin.
Design and Construction
Customizable tungsten carbide tyre studs with the body finish as the selectable feature. Zinc plating, zinc-nickel, polished and black-oxide finishes protect the metal body against road salt and moisture; the carbide core is unaffected by that choice.
How It Works
Winter roads combine water, de-icing salt and grit. The carbide pin resists wear, but the body corrodes if the finish is inadequate; a corroded body loses its grip in the rubber long before the pin is worn.
Applications
Salted winter roads, coastal winter regions, fleet tyres stored between seasons, long-service studs.
Field Cases
- Coastal fleet: zinc-nickel bodies survived a salt-heavy season without visible rust.
- Municipal contractor: plated bodies stayed bright after repeated wet/dry cycles.
- Storage yard: finished bodies showed no bloom between winter seasons.
Performance Data
| Metric | Value / Observation |
|---|---|
| Finish options | Zinc / zinc-nickel / polished / black oxide |
| Core | Tungsten carbide (unaffected by finish) |
| Attack mechanism | Road salt + moisture on the body |
| Failure addressed | Body corrosion, loss of retention |
Suitable Materials
Winter tyres used on salted roads, coastal regions and between-season storage.
Material Comparison: Corrosion Protection: Zinc vs Zinc-Nickel vs Polished vs Oxide
Body finish selection for winter roads. Typical industry data:
| Factor | Zinc Plated | Zinc-Nickel | Polished | Black Oxide |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salt resistance | Good | Best | Moderate | Moderate |
| Appearance over a season | Dulls slowly | Stays bright | Dulls | Dark, stable |
| Layer type | Sacrificial coating | Alloy coating | No coating | Conversion layer |
| Cost position | Economy | Premium | Economy | Economy |
| Best environment | General winter roads | Heavy salt / coastal | Dry cold regions | Dry storage / mild use |
| Effect on carbide pin | None | None | None | None |
Delivery Scope
Bulk studs; finish, dimensions and quantity confirmed with the order.
Why Choose VPOINT
The finish is selected for the road environment, because the body – not the carbide – is what corrodes.
Precision & Quality Control
Coating coverage, dimensions and carbide seating checked per lot with ISO 9001 batch traceability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the finish matter?
Road salt and moisture corrode the metal body, which then loses grip in the rubber.
Which finish for heavy salt?
Zinc-nickel offers the strongest salt resistance.
Does the finish affect the carbide pin?
No – the carbide core is unaffected by the body finish.
Can I choose size and finish together?
Yes – finish, dimensions and quantity are confirmed per order.
What is inspected?
Coating coverage, dimensions and carbide seating per lot.
