I have a threaded rod with an eye nut threaded all the way down, plus a hex nut threaded on to keep the eye nut from backing out. The outside-facing surface of the hex nut is roughly flush with the end of the threaded rod. I've attached an image for clarity. I want the nut/threaded rod interface welded with an all-around bead.
What symbol would I use? It's not a fillet weld or anything else I've seen, and I'm not very familiar with welding.
Thank you!

I would think it would simply be a "Flare V" weld symbol, with the "All Around" symbol on the leader.

Have you read faq731-376 to make the best use of these Forums?
 
Your just welding the nut to the rod at the top, and not where it meets the eye-nut correct? "IF" so it's a plug weld with the symbol pointing to the top of the nut.
 
11echo,
Yes, welding the nut to the rod at their top surfaces. Plug weld or seam weld? Why plug and not seam?
Thanks!
 
Don't do that.

Use a prevailing torque nut, or high-strength loctite.

That will allow the eye to be replaced when it is damaged.
