It's a neat process. It happens in a total vacuum. Touch two steel rods together and they become one. Here, the heat and pressure just serve to drive it all the oxygen molecules out from between the iron molecules.
Knowledge is power!
Btw, the downside of using threaded rod instead of actual studs is that the studs have a hex head cut into the end, whereas the rods will require double nuts to torque and loosen.
I used m8 x 50 mm studs for a Ford V8, cost $15 for the dry on Amazon.

Thank you for the response and additional info. So you happen to have a link to the set you bought with the hex at the end?
