“Magic of Mechanization”
April 20th
”Phased Array UT in Lieu of RT”
“TV Welding”
Young people became interested in welding when they began
to see it on TV around 15 years ago. Shows like “American
Chopper” (my all time favorite) and “Monster Garage” made
welding look cool. What could be better for the image of welding than watching a tattooed biker dude with juiced up muscles
welding and screaming at people? Cars and motorcycles continue to be welded on TV today on shows like “Gas Monkey” and
“Counting Cars”.
Soon we will see the specialized aluminum welding that is
being done to repair the aluminum framed F-150 pick up and
seventh generation Corvettes. This will help elevate the image
of the auto mechanic who welds to a master technician who
does high end work. This is the image our industry needs and it
will all be on TV. I can’t wait to watch it!
