A skin welded joint comprising a thin metallic skin welded to a metallic frame member such as a metallic post or beam such as to substantially avoid local distortion, discoloration, and/or physical degradation of the skin and the resultant loss of appearance and/or strength. This skin welded joint comprises an elongated frame member, such as a post or beam, including one flange adjacent the skin, laterally spaced apart ribs projecting from one side of the flange and in contact with the skin, and a pair of flange portions integrally extruded with the ribs and the remainder of the elongated frame member. The flange portions laterally project on opposite sides of the flange, have a reduced thickness relative to the flange, for readily deformation under the heat of welding, and are welded to the skin. |
