Hi - Richard Smith calling back.  Sorry about that description without 
reference to convential terminology.  In Britain you would use the term 
"crozzle" for really badly burned stuff around the rim of a pie-dish, or 
 pork-rind heated 'til it is crunchy and just about going black.

Thing is, not now but when I first tried welding stainless, I used to 
move the torch far too slow, wave it around and not get good shielding 
and so on, so that I got horrible black oxides on my welds.  These days, 
you can see metal shining through after hardly a rub with a brush.

I'm now trying to master back-purge, by-the-way.  Haven't had anyone 
trying to qualify on stainless for some time at the college I go to, I 
gather.  Hope to borrow a friend's Dremel tool and make lots of little 
holes along one side of a copper tube, which I can but into the 
corner-channel in my home-made 90degree outside-corner joint 
back-purging assembly (in sheet metal).  Then will need to make the 
sheet-metal "thing" for butt-welds.
