Hello! How do you handle steel studs in corners? Do you need to have two steel wall studs in each corner to create an air pocket in a square behind it? Or how do you do it?
 
so I do, with some mineral wool in my pocket. For external corners, I either use double studs or take short studs in wood, one 45mm and one 95mm, making it extremely strong

But how do you set the double studs? So there is a void behind?
 
is it an interior wall or an exterior wall that it concerns?
 
If it's an inner corner, I use a total of 3 studs. If you want the corner insulated (with, as in my case, a maintained air gap around the entire corner), this is probably best. If the rest is uninsulated, 2 studs are enough.

Yes, it is inner corners. We have done like the lower image but with two studs (where is the third one you are talking about?!) Is it gullfiber or wood in the corner? We don't have anything there so far at least...

In the upper picture, you see 2 studs in the same track, these were fixed first and then insulated before the third stud was placed flush against these two studs with the flat side facing backward.

Insulated the corner with a combination of facade board (20mm) and 45mm mineral wool:
