Abstract
A method for balancing an article for rotation includes the initial steps of providing an article having a surface and providing a balance weight including a weight portion having an opening and a rivet portion. The weight portion of the balance weight is disposed against the surface of the article. The rivet portion of the balance weight is inserted within the opening of the weight portion of the balance weight such that a portion of the rivet portion engages the surface of the article. Lastly, the portion of the rivet portion is welded, such as by resistance welding techniques, to the surface of the article.
