You might take your query over to
CR where you can and strut your little knowledge to the likes of Merz, Sachs, Fattic, and others? Can put in a word for you with Dale. If nothing else, it will be amusing for a minute.
Someone there may ID your example? Not interested in helping because you are Butted. (sic)
(How can you not know whether it's welded or brazed?)
Helicoidal reinforcement IS butting. And welding which has been filed down is identical to brazing; especially since brazing is essentially welding then filing down. LMAO!
Also, since you are trying to be pedantic, I'll return the favour: you can only use "sic" if you are quoting someone, and "butting" is the correct term.
