Hello AWS Sacramento Valley Section Members and Friends,
With assistance from MJB Welding Supply the Butte College Welding Technology program will be hosting the AWS Sacramento Valley Section Meeting on Nov 14. This meeting will feature Alan Lindgren who is currently a sales representative from Rankin Industries.
Alan began welding at the age of 7, while working with his dad in the garage. After completing high school Alan began his career with Berkley Forge and Tool, a prominent rebuilder and hardfacer of metallic parts used in the extraction of raw oil in the Tar Pits of Canada. Alan has become a renowned industry expert on hard facing and the welding of specialty alloys. He has worked with Rankin for 24 years and currently covers the sales of specialty alloys and hardfacing materials from Central California to Southern Oregon, and parts of Nevada. Alan estimates that he has helped save his customers millions of dollars by guiding them in the proper selection and use of rebuilding and hardfacing alloys working in agriculture, mining, rock crushing, and construction industries.
- The meeting will involve a short presentation on hardfacing and the welding of cast iron followed by a live demonstration.
- In addition to Alan’s demonstration, there will be a “hands on”
portion to the meeting, so bring your safety and welding gear. - The meeting will start at 6:00 PM in AHPS 118 and after dinner
the presentation will move to the Welding Technology lab for the
live demonstration and the hands on portion of the meeting.
