Let us say we want to weld a nut in place against a piece of metal. The nut would then be used to receive a bolt to hold parts together.
Do you position the nut by just placing it against the metal, or do you put the bolt in place with the threads only flush and weld, using the bolt to align the position and placement of the nut?
Do you need to do anything to the bolt to keep it from sticking to the nut from the heat? Do you take the bolt out while the weld is still hot, or let it cool before you remove the bolt?
Is it best to weld on one flat (one side) of the nut, two sides, or a full weld encircling the nut?
Just trying to get some opinions on how YOU would do it.
