A weldment that is embedded in a concrete slab-type structural member. There is a central plate having a planar, weldable surface and disposed along an outer edge of the concrete slab. A pair of divergingly extending arms extends from the weldable surface and is embedded in the concrete slab. One or both of the extending arms has an irregular upper edge to engage the surrounding concrete. The irregular edge may be a series of v-shaped notches or v-shaped raised portions or any combination forming a saw tooth configuration. A method of manufacturing the weldment in the concrete slab is accomplished by locating the weldment in a mold and fastening a cap around the central plate. The weldment and cap are attached to the mold. After the concrete is poured and hardens into the slab, the cap is removed exposing a clean weldable surface. |
