Default Re: Rivets or weld?

Welding gets a bad name due to the welder not practicing the "5P's"

proper planning prevents piss poor performance.


riveting or bolting will accommodate flexibility till the fastener fails,the same as welding.welded correctly on most applications you will achieve a greater grip surface than bolting or riveting, which only provides tension at the fastener.
