Just wondering if this happens very often?
Why would anyone ever want to do that. You can but if your cranks snap you need a new BB and if you need to re grease your BB well think again.Sorry I didn't elaborate more.
When you cranks weld onto your spindle.
You don't want to do it, it just happens, just wondering if it happened alot because profile had some anti seize stuff which said would stop cranks cold welding onto your spindle.Why would anyone ever want to do that.

There is no way on earth even Josh Bender could generate enough pressure to cause permanent bonding of two steel components.
The solution is undamaged,clean components with a very thin smear of grease, torqued to the correct tension.

It can also be cause by electolytic reaction between two dissimilar metals, corrosion or "pick up", and causes all sorts of problems on any number of close toleranced parts on many different types of mechanisms.
Some sort of lubricant or retaining compound is indeed the answer here. Salvage what you can, learn the lesson and move on. No thanks to the ill considered replies.
