Miller Training Center Rancho Cucamonga
Pipe Welding at its best!
Fabtech Show in Chicago!
Unforgettable learning experience
When: Tuesday November 5th 2013
Time: 5:30 pm
Where: Miller Training Center 9570 Santa Anita Ave Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 Presenter: Jim Byrne Manager of Sales and Applications
Pipe Welding Division
Topic: Advanced Welding Processes for Pipe Welding,
including Induction Heating
Are you hearing about welder shortages? Maybe you are
already experiencing the problem. The problem remains the highest in pipe welding due to
the skills required. Typically pipe fabrication shops use a few processes to perform root
passes on pipe. GTAW and SMAW. The processes are slow with high heat input which
also requires a great deal of skill. Jim will introduce us to Regulated Metal Deposition
(RMD) for root passes. The process is 4 times faster than GTAW and much easier to mas-
ter. RMD is currently being used in the gas, oil and power industry. Big name contactors
such as Bechtel have embraced the process. See for yourself what’s new in pipe welding.
Jim will also demonstrate induction heating for preheat and post weld stress relief. You
don’t want to miss the opportunity to learn about the exciting advances in the pipe indus-
try.

Last Section Meeting: High Performance Alloys
Our October Section meeting took place at the Green River Golf Course in Corona. We had the honor of having Ben Pletcher, from Select Arc, with us, giving a presentation on High Performance Al-loys, and different types of stainless steel and uses in the industry. What a great meeting! We had about 40 attendees, and Ben gave a very vivid discussion on stainless steels, their microstructure, weldability, as well as ar-
eas of metallurgy for the welder. Ben is such a bright individual and full of knowledge. The discussion was very informational and valuable. Don’t miss the opportunity to attend Ben’s discussion on Codes, Standards and Dissimilar Metal Welding at the upcoming Fabtech Show in Chicago! He will be leading several discussions on
Welding dissimilar metals, session # 112. We want to thank section members for at-tending, and a special thanks for Tim Chubbs, our Section’s Program Committee Chair, for putting this meeting together. Nice job Tim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
