  In order to improve the skills of the current staff of UKTMK, the company initiated the training of welding specialists. The training was organized by a team of professionals from Welding Company LLP and ESAB LLC. Both companies are industry leaders, and their employees have expertise in welding production and operations.

  The professional development course for the employees of the Plant lasted three days and consisted of theoretical classes and a practical part. In total, 5 employees of workshop No. 11 took part in the training - Vasily Stupakov, Alexey Kozlov, Azat Dusupov, Alexander Grifinstein and Vladimir Ovchinnikov.

  On the first day, students were introduced to modern welding standards and regulations, the rules for the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) for welders, the principles of arc welding, technology, materials and nuances in working with cast iron products.

  Warrior 750i is a multi—process welding investor. We also paid attention to the Transmig 500 Double Pulse, which performs welding in short arc, pulse and double pulse modes; the use of carbon electrodes and equipment for air-arc gouging.

  Also, as part of the practice, the participants performed non-standard tasks. For example, setting up semi-automatic welding for various steels (1.6 and 2.0 mm wire); removing the old weld and cutting the metal with gouging; plasma cutting; welding titanium on the ESAB Aristo 320W machine.

  "Modern welding technologies are constantly evolving and regular professional development allows us to maintain a high level of professional skills, master methods and equipment, improve industrial safety, and effectively solve complex and atypical tasks in production," said Alexander Grifinstein, a participant in the training.

  Thanks to this course, the effectiveness of solving practical problems to improve the quality of welding cast iron products will increase, the quality of argon arc welding of titanium will increase, and air-arc gouging and modern plasma cutting will be used more effectively.

  At the end of the training, each participant was given certificates of completion of the course and brochures on cast iron welding containing useful materials, diagrams, recommendations and process maps. It is worth noting that this training at the Plant is not the last, and similar training programs are planned to be conducted on a regular basis.
