grinding a weld smooth will yield a ~2x improvement in fatigue life in steel



This is an amazing tidbit of information. You'd think NHRA, NASCAR and the aircraft industry would be insisting that all welds be ground smooth!



A tiny bit of knowledge is....bad. Nuclear subs have the welds ground in the hull, wonder why?

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
