the previous replys are correct regarding having a radius on a one piece stud as that is the weakest point , But the reason your two piece failed is what ever means the Factory used to fix the stud and flange together failed and allowed the stud to pull through the flange nothing do with a radius .

Yep. looks like it was a failure in the weld-in-place procedure. (metal is in contact with another metal and the earth is connected to one and live to the other and quick squirt of 'lectric welds them.......this was how the shipyards used to put fixing studs onto superstructure for brackets etc.)
