The cost of fabrication of the pieces may advice to make other kind of modification than scrapping them.
Substituting some area of plate or plates also will cause HAZ zones to be present, but you may bring the weld zones to less critical places for which the success in the repair is easier to warrant even by specifications, and so you may avoid to use the critical placements such altered holes for bolts.
