Regional 3-Day "Fundamentals of Brazing" Seminars!

Each of these brazing seminars is taught exclusively by Dan Kay. Dan, with more than 35-years of brazing experience, has an excellent way of communicating brazing-knowledge to people in a clear, concise manner that is easy to understand and learn. And, if your company does not want their employees traveling too far for educational training, Kay & Associates has set up regionalized brazing seminars around the country for your convenience, each one taught by Dan.

Here's just a few typical comments received from attendees at these seminars:

"I've attended many seminars on many subjects over the years, but this was the best, and most practical one I have ever attended. I could use the information right away! (Erick B.)"

"Dan Kay gave one of the best and most knowledgeable seminars I have ever attended. He was energetic and kept the lessons interesting and fun! (Jeff S.)"

"I learned more in 3 days here than I ever have in 2 weeks anywhere else! (Prentice L.)"


Who should attend this seminar? Anyone who, by their decisions or actions, has an impact on the brazing operations in their plant: owners, managers, design engineers (brazing begins on the "drawing board"), metallurgists, process engineers, shop leadpersons, operators, quality control and inspection personnel, maintenance personnel, sales persons. When you understand the brazing process, you'll be able to help your customers better.


What will people learn at these seminars? Here's just a few of the many, many things that they will learn in these intensive 3-day seminars:

  • What are the most common mistakes made in brazing shops today that lead to poor brazements and rejected parts, and how to avoid those mistakes.
  • How to meaningfully cut significant costs out of your current brazing process, and get a better braze with improved customer satisfaction.
  • How to gain confidence that your brazing process is optimized for the needs of your customers, by knowing which things should and should not be included in your process.
  • What specific things must be included in any inspection process after brazing, and which procedures might strictly be wasteful of your time and money.
  • Which brazing process is best for certain base metals, and why? For example: should you use vacuum or induction-brazing? Which is best for different base metals?

Do you have additional questions related to your specific brazing process? We will work with you at the seminar to help you understand and resolve your specific questions and any brazing problems you may have.
