I wanted to weld some nuts onto a bracket for a project in working on to make them self retaining.
I've got some bog standard zinc coated nuts from B&Q that I wore cupped to take the zinc finish off before mig welding to the mild steel bracket. I didn't get a good weld and the nut came away after a little bit of fettling.
Are these not ok to mig weld? Does anywhere actually sell plain mild steel nuts?
