Abstract
A welding clamp uses opposing metal pieces to clamp two pieces of sheet metal together with a defined gap between panels for the purpose of welding, in this case, butt welding. The clamp has an integral copper backing plate to provide weld backing support and thermal dissipation to the metal for improved butt weld results. The integral copper backing plate adds stiffness to the adjoined panels while providing a solid non-weldable backing support to the panels being joined, reducing or eliminating weld blow-through.
