Chairman' Message

 

Greetings ;

 

I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year on behalf of the Philadelphia AWS board.
just a note on our last meeting for those who couldn't make it Aldo Zambetti, Training Coordinator at Sheet Metal Workers Local #19 was nice enough to allow us to hold our last meeting at their school. I would like to express our thanks for the opportunity to share the demonstration with the adult welding school attendees at local 19. George Benyak from Harris put on a informative and engaging demonstration on brazing different materials with fuel and oxy fuel torches. he also had some booklets from Harris that were in high demand from the attendees. I was particularly impressed with his ability to braze aluminum with flux and al. welding wire. looking forward to seeing you at your future meetings.
See you at a meeting,
Gary Atherton
Chairman Philadelphia Section AWS
