welding nuts to steel tube (lemmy.world)

I need to weld some nuts to a steel tube. Are there any issues with using regular zinc coated nuts or are there other, plain steel nuts I should be using?

They should weld just fine. If you are using a mig you may want to grind some of the coating off where you are welding if you get and holes in your weld. Keep it ventilated well, zinc smoke will fuck you up.
