Welding Nuts - OK Fab guys, chime in.
I frequently weld nuts behind a bracket, braces, or to conceal it (perhaps in the frame). I usually weld all sides of the hex to the part, but perhaps I seem to over do it. I am concerned about the heat and temper of the nut from welding but also the strength restricting of the nut when you crank on the bolt that goes with it (stops it from spinning). Here is a commercial seatbelt blind tab. They only weld a few of the corners. It looks too light in the weld department to me but I am not sure.
What are your guys thoughts? Any articles?
