A component includes a component thickness and one or more weld pockets formed at desired weld sites, each weld pocket including an area whose thickness is less than the component thickness with the area being greater in size than an area of a weld to be formed at the weld pocket. A method of welding components together includes providing at least two components to be welded together at a desired weld site, forming a weld pocket at the desired weld site in a component, and welding the components together. The weld pocket includes an area of reduced thickness with the area being greater in size than an area of a weld to be formed.
