I have taught welding for over 40 years and I have not heard the term

I do think he is referring to the American term " Stack of dimes"

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.
