FABTECH NOVEMBER 2016 / WELDING JOURNAL 75 AWS POSTER SESSION November 16–18 — During Show Hours The AWS Poster Session is an integral part of the AWS Professional Program. Graphic displays of technical achievements are presented for close, first-hand examination in the Poster Session. Posters present welding results and related material, which are best communicated visually, as well as research results that call for close study of photomicrographs, tables, systems architecture, or other illustrative materials. Posters are presented in five categories: Students in High School Welding Program, Students in a Two-Year College or Certificate Program, Undergraduate Students, Graduate Students, and Professionals. Be sure to stop by and observe this year’s entries. SEMINARS Wednesday, November 16 8:30 a.m. — 4:30 p.m. Registration Code: W10 D1.1 – CODE CLINIC Room N258 This seminar will provide a “road map” through the Code, emphasizing the ability to locate important paragraphs, charts, and tables quickly, which is crucial to understanding the code when working under stressful deadlines. In addition to practice questions, a practice exam will be administered, and the instructor will illustrate the use of the Code under time constraints, creating deadline pressure similar to the test environment. If you’re taking the CWI exam, this clinic has proven to be valuable test preparation. As a leading construction code, D1.1 is the ideal tool to teach effective code use. NOTE: Clinic fee does not include a copy of the D1.1/ D1.1M:2015, Structural Welding Code — Steel. D1.1 Code book may be purchased from the AWS Technical Standards sales team at (800) 443-9353, ext. 280. Attendees will receive our study guide, AWS D1.1 Code Clinic Reference Manual. 8:30 a.m. — 4:30 p.m. Registration Code: W11 CRASH COURSE OF WELDING INSPECTION TECHNOLOGY SEMINAR (WIT) Room N259 This one-day seminar is designed to combine the normal two-day Welding Inspection Technology (WIT) portion of the CWI seminar into a one-day crash course. The intent is to break down and cover the common knowledge aspects as opposed to covering all ten chapters of the Welding Inspection Technology (WIT) textbook/workbook. NOTE: Attendees will receive the Welding Inspection textbook and Welding Inspection workbook. 8:30 a.m. — 4:30 p.m. Registration Code: W12 D17.1 – CODE CLINIC Room N234 The one-day seminar will go through the Code, emphasizing the ability to locate important paragraphs, charts, and tables quickly, which is crucial to understanding the code when working under stressful deadlines. The instructor will illustrate the use of the Code under time constraints, creating deadline pressure similar to the test environment. If you’re taking the Certification Endorsement exam, this clinic will prove valuable test preparation. NOTE: Clinic fee does not include a copy of D17.1/ D17.1M:2010, Specification for Fusion Welding Aerospace Applications, which may be purchased from the AWS Technical Standards sales team at (800) 443-9353, ext. 280. THE WHY AND HOW OF WELDING PROCEDURE SPECIFICATIONS Room N233 8:00 a.m. — 12:00 noon Beginner Registration Code: W13 1:00 p.m. — 5:00 p.m. Advanced Registration Code: W14 8:00 a.m. — 5:00 p.m. Beginner and Advanced Registration Code: W15 Welding Procedure Specifications — Ensuring Consistent, Predictable Welding Processes Performance As a welding professional who is constantly responding to customer demands for increasing the performance and quality of weldments while controlling costs, optimizing your Welding Procedure Specifications (WPSs) for performance and profitability may be the key. A well-written WPS defines, measures, analyzes, improves, and controls (DMAIC) quality in the welding process. This two-part workshop revisits the fundamentals of WPSs for both the seasoned professional and for those individuals seeking to become more proficient in the authoring and application of a WPS in fabrication as well as a hands-on approach to advanced instruction in the formulation and writing of WPSs in the afternoon. Who Should Attend: This session will benefit owners, managers, engineers, and CWIs who must qualify, write, or revise welding procedure specifications to satisfy codes and contract documents. What Will Be Addressed? This workshop is divided into two half-day sessions. The morning session addresses the fundamentals of WPSs. Morning topics are focused on • Welding processes • Filler metal • Shielding gases • Current and voltage range, travel speed, and heat input • Joint design tolerances • Joint and surface preparation • Preheat/interpass temperature and welding positions • Standard WPSs The afternoon session focuses on the mechanics of WPSs by different codes and standards. Afternoon topics include • Proper preparation and qualification of Welding Procedure Specifications • Documenting standard procedure qualification testing for
