I-CAR introduces course, webcast on high-strength steel repairs
The course was developed through industry discussion at the “I-CAR Repairability Summit” held in May 2011. At the summit, experts from several collision industry segments analyzed best practices for repair procedures including anchoring, straightening and replacement methods. Other topics discussed included squeeze-type resistance spot welding (STRSW), GMA (MIG) welding, MIG brazing and riveting.
The free webcast, which will be presented by I-CAR’s Jeff Poole and ABRN, will be held from noon to 1 p.m. EST Feb. 28.
Jason Bartanen, I-CAR Technical Director said, “Improperly repairing vehicles made from HSS and UHSS can cause additional damage to a collision damaged vehicle. The outcome of returning a vehicle to a customer in this condition is unacceptable. This training class will provide students with an overview of procedures and techniques that will promote proper collision repair and methods that will help them ensure vehicle safety through the entire vehicle lifecycle.”
