Restore the places of formation of cracks by overlap welding with a seam of reinforcing linings (pic. 187) from sheet steel with a thickness of 0.9-1.0 mm. Reinforcing pads should follow the contours of the contact zone. When repairing, reinforcing linings are welded with a discontinuous seam along the longitudinal sides, and in the holes by electric arc welding in a carbon dioxide environment. Welding seams are carefully cleaned, primed and painted in body color.
