Hi All!
I need some help in understanding the process of welding in patches. I know a lot of how you do it is dependent on where the panel is, if it is flanged, if it is lapped or butted and so forth. But my question is basic to all. Is it necessary to weld around the entire patch? I have seen patch panel that are stitch welded through punced holes with no additonal welding. I have seen panels that are cut to fit and butt welded every inch or so then filled and I have seen butted panels welded the entire way around the patch. So I guess my question is, is it more common to weld around the entire border of a patch or to weld it every inch or so. I hope I have said this well enough that you can see what I want to know! Thanks a bunch
