I worked at a manufacturing facility that made metal components used in the oil and gas industry. When the components were hydraulically clamped into place, it was common for it to fail at the weld. So our engineers developed a better approach. Rather than a heat treating process to temper the weld. This was too much time and money for other manufacturers. So what our engineers came up with was a quick and easy process to temper the weld. It wasn’t perfect from a metallurgical standpoint, but it was good enough to survive the hydraulic clamping force 100% of the time. Legally, I cannot divulge what that process is for another 25 years. submitted by /u/krzysztofgetthewings
