RWMA Resistance Welding School
This two-day resistance welding school is sponsored by the American Welding Society and the Resistance Welding Manufacturing Alliance, and conducted by industry specialists. The basics of resistance welding and real-life application of the process are covered. Participants learn at their own pace and discuss specific welding concerns with the instructors. You are invited to bring your own samples for discussion.
Please plan to be present for both days of the school. The program is limited to 100 students. The registration fee includes a copy of the Resistance Welding Manual, Revised Fourth Edition (a $125 value) and a course binder containing all instructor presentations. Participants will receive free admission to the show and a certificate of completion. In addition, there will be a tabletop reception at lunchtime both days, demonstrating the latest resistance welding products offered by RWMA-member companies.
