Installation wall, steel stud - corner stud.
Good evening.
I have 45x45 laid in the construction as an installation wall. In the house's four outer corners, i.e., inner corners on the inside, the boards must be connected in some way vertically.
The first thought was to cross-brace with a 45x70 in one direction and a 45x45 in the other direction to have something to screw the boards into. Complicated.
I then thought that it should be possible to place an angle profile in metal in the corner to tie the corner together. Advantage, simple, provides better insulation in the corner.
I have now found that there is a ready-made product for this. Corner stud with 0.5mm thickness.
1. Is this a "common"/"accepted" solution?
2. The wall will consist of construction plywood and then gypsum, should I place the corner stud on the 45x45 i.e., behind the plywood or on the plywood and attach it to the plywood? And then the gypsum over/last.

It is quite common at corners of larger constructions, especially when using tracks and studs made of metal throughout the structure. Check norgips description and see if it makes any sense to you. I would probably have placed the stud against your horizontal 2x2" and then attached osb/plywood to it with drywall screws to the metal.
