Re: Is Welding Worth It?

1836 hasn't welded for the past 4 years, and has been pretty happy. However, rivets, including those in highly stressed shear applications, can loosen up, creating a less than ideal joint (for comparison, we do use aluminum body aluminum mandrel rivets). It in the high load applications that we are considering welding joints as an addition to rivets and gussets.
