I'm not a welder, I'm a machinist/fabricator and our unions keep the machining and cutting/welding very seperate.
That aside, you mentioned carbon [steel] plate, is that what the HMMWV body is made of? Do you know what gauge? I don't need a lesson in welding,/metallurgy, but thank you for the insight. I just want to know what it is made of so I can ask some people at work how they would go about repairing battle damage and adding armor to a HMMWV.

The original up-armored HMMWVs were pretty much double quarter or single half-inch thick scrap-metal bits (likely some sort of medium-carbon steel with a bit of luck), and maybe a few busted-up SAPI plates wedged into them.
Modern kits are bolted-on.
It depends on th kit, but if it's something fielded before 2005 you just tried your luck with a some 6011 and hoped it lasted at least as long as your tour.

It was pretty much what we would have expected, lots of NERA.
