I-CAR will introduce its newest course, Best
Practices for High-Strength Steel Repairs
(SPS09) on February 27 and will follow that up
with a
free
webcast Feb. 28 under the same
title.
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.”
Best Practices for High-Strength Steel Repairs
(SPS09) will discuss topics including vehicle
construction, how to identify characteristics of
certain steels, where they are commonly located,
to what extent they can be repaired, and more.
Course details can be found on the I-CAR
website, (Course Catalog page). Registration is
open and classes are continually being added.
