2009 Conferences

Joining Dissimilar Metals Conference II
March 3 - 4, 2009 — Orlando, Florida
Hilton in the Walt Disney World Resort
Chair: Bob Irving
Co-chairman: Bill Newell

One of the most discussed topics and sources of misunderstanding involves joining dissimilar materials by welding. Vendors probably receive more phone calls with questions on this subject than any other. The traditional codes are nearly silent on the issue. Many design, shop, or field organizations do not have—or have lost—expertise in this area.

This conference will address issues including material properties, weld properties, preheat/post-weld heat treatment, corrosion, the use of transition joints, service conditions, and practical considerations.
