So Chuck, what you are saying is that a bulge repair if done very precisely should be at least as strong as the original metal prior to the bulging incident? I'm not a physicist or an engineer and this is a little over my head. Also, where would a bulge lie on the stress deformation axis? Right at yield or could it be way far to the right?
