Double Bill Presentation

The Procurement (Purchase)
and Receipt Inspection of
Welding Materials


by Walt Stein

Walt Stein is a metallurgist and technical writer with some fifteen years' experience in all of the major metal-manufacturing processes. He worked as Procurement Engineer for the KG&E Nuclear Power plant at Wolf Creek and Stolle Corporation, and as Fabrication Engineer for Wisconsin Centrifugal.

Walt will discuss a ten-point procurement procedure he developed for the purchase of base metals. These ten points can be reversed in order for cost-effective receipt-inspection criteria.

He will then initiate a short round-table discussion for the application of this procedure to filler metals and atmospheres, including items like SAW fluxes.
