Place the bolt through the hole and place another nut in the end of the pipe and tighten the nut thus holding the bolt tight in the pipe.
How to weld bolt to sheet metal.
Everyone who works with metal from metal workers and mechanics to jewelers and hobbyists knows gluing metal needs good preparation.
Don t attempt to weld thin materials like sheet metal with flux cored wires which put more heat into the base metal.
To weld sheet metal with solid wires use electrode positive ep or reverse polarity.
Before you start welding make sure things are properly setup at both the welder and on the piece you are about to weld.
In the first phase the projection is in contact with the mating sheet.
The welder needs to be on the grounding clamp attached to your welding table or to the piece of metal directly and you need to have.
Projection welding of a weld nut or weld bolt involves three phases.
The process and welding techniques to be used depend on the application the types of metal to be welded and the skill and experience of the welder.
Then the current starts to heat the projection to welding temperature.

The technique of joining metal pieces is as simple as applying the glue to the surface of the metal where it needs to be joined from pressing the metals together and letting it dry in most cases the pieces to be glued have to be under pressure after clue is applied until it is dry.
The electrode force then causes the heated projection to collapse rapidly and fusion takes place.
Metal glue is a great way to join metal to metal or metal to other materials.
