Welds on steel structures
Welds on steel structures
(OP)
Hi,
Which welds prevent the transmission of electric currents to the structure? Our project involves a weld that was not completed during construction and was noted during a final inspection. The connection needs to be completed to pprevent eccentric loading of the connection. The connection is at a column-beam-brace. Electric/arc welding methods cannot be used as it will interfere with the electronic weigh cells on the structure. The structure is a resin vessel. Bolting an angle on is tricky due to geometric constraints but probably can be done. Will MIG welding work? Any comments valued! Thanks

I have worked on a couple of projects were any stray electrical currents (including any eddy currents) were prohibited. What about arc welding placing the workpiece connection as close as possible to where the work is being performed and providing a true ground connetion for the welding equipment and structure?

It sounds like mechanical fastening would be the most practical method of completing your connection.
