We do not weld anything that is structural in a spar. Thats why fasteners are used. Hell, about the only thing we ever weld are the original weld joints in specific original fairings joints and such. As for annealing a weld, like an engine mount (Steel), we gas weld the piece allowing it to self anneal in the process.

Are you working on any FW-190's?

Have in the past, doing American stuff now. A little bit ago, I did a feasibility study on a couple of projects (190's) that are not in the country for a buyer. Both airframes are fairly complete, newly found, with good history. You'll probably hear of them in a few months or so.

Well then you should know how the mainspar is constructed.

It is multiple pieces connected together to form a solid one piece spar that is not designed to come apart. Like I said from the beginning.
