ABSTRACT:
There is provided a method for welding together two metal components to form a large structure suitable for use as an aerospace component. The method comprises the steps of providing two metal components to be welded together, each component having a length, a width, a height and a surface to be welded, the surface to be welded of at least one of the metal components including a feature extending substantially the length of the component, the feature reducing the contact width of the surfaces to be welded of the two components to less than the width of each component; and welding together the components. There is also provided a large structure so created. There is also provided a method for welding together two metal components to form a part or a whole of a spar for a wing for an aircraft and a spar so created.
