I would be glad to explan it to you after you explan what it is.

Could that be a typo?

RonG,
If it is a typo, rtrautman typed it that way twice. I looked in my handy AWS A3.0 and didn't see anything that was spelled anywhere close to weld stilting. I'm curious what it is.

I've never heard of "weld stilting" either. I was wondering if someone's spell check was being "efficient" and changed stitching to stilting when writing a job spec.

Hi Chet,
You and I had the same thought but I just didn't type it, in case there was such a thing, and I had just not heard of it yet. I find out new things about our field everyday, so it wouldn't have surprised me.

I have a friend that made pottery as a hobby and she says stilting is a firing method for making pottery. Now what the heck that has to do with a weld , you got me!!!! unless it`s a pottery weld... lol!!! Yall have a good one!

This is found in a European spec DIN EN 4133 Notch Class 90 requires weld stilting of no more than 10%. My take on this is that it is Crown Height. Has anyone dealt with crown height restrictions of 10% (height versus the width) before and if so how do you overcome a square butt joint when there is no place for the metal to go?
This is a SAW process and our square butt joints go up to 19mm thick and we can't change the parameters to much because of a Charpy requirement we must meet.

Sir,
I looked up DIN EN 4133 in our companies library databased and it gave the title of the document as: "(DRAFT) Aerospace series - Bolts, normal hexagonal head, coarse tolerance normal shank, long thread, in titanium alloy, aluminium IVD coated - Classification: 1100 MPa (at ambient temperature)/425 °C".
This does not sound as if it has to do with welding. The issue date of the document is shown as 03/01/1995.

DIN 4133 the correct title is Steel Stacks, if you go to Global Engineering Documents, you will get the correct title. I guess there was no EN in it, it is just DIN 4133 and it was published in 1991. So now that we have the correct title, can anyone help me??
