When Dulce Benavides took her first welding class at San Bernardino Valley College, she was afraid because she was the only female in the class. But her father, a welder himself, had prepared her with the basics and, more importantly, gave her words to remember that she carries with her every day. In Spanish, he told her, “No, I don’t know how to do it, but if you show me, I will learn.”

Weld repairs occur across nearly all industries and types of alloys. Whether it is performed immediately after joint completion, after hydrostatic testing & NDE or after the failure of an in-service component, successful repair welding should take into account code compliance, Quality Assurance, Fitness-for-Service and economic considerations. Each weld pass adds another chapter in the thermal and mechanical history of the component, affecting its mechanical and/or corrosion resistance properties. Accurately planning, designing and executing the repair are critical to make the component suitable for continued service. In addition to general industry & tribal knowledge, many guidelines exist within API, ASME, NBIC and AWS standards for executing a successful weld repair process.
This conference will provide case studies, discuss the application of repair codes / guidelines, and better connect the welding industry from fabricators, material suppliers and operators to discuss the importance and complexity of repair welds.

Ten individuals recently completed the Southern Virginia Higher Education Center’s first welding basics for the at home welder course. This hands-on, project-based class was designed with the home or farm owner in mind. “We wanted to offer a non-credential, hands-on training class to individuals in the community who wanted to learn a little bit more about welding, for their own personal use, without enrolling in a year-long training program. This six-week training class was a great fit for everyone,” said Scarlett Brandon, program/marketing coordinator for the SoVA Center of Manufacturing Excellence.
