The first Spring-2008 3-day Kay & Associates Brazing Seminar will be held in the sunny Phoenix, Arizona area, at the Scottsdale Thunderbirds Suites Hotel (1-480-951-4000). By the way, click on the highlighted name of each hotel to go directly to that hotel's website. The second, identical Spring seminar, will be near Hartford, CT at the Ramada Inn (1-860-623-9494) next to Bradley Airport. In September we go to the beautiful Embassy Suites & Conference Center (1-864-676-9090) in Greenville, South Carolina, and in November we come back once again to the Ramada Inn in CT. Keep your travel distance short by picking a date and location best for you!

Seminar cost is $1495. (NOTE: Price now includes a copy of the new, updated AWS Brazing Handbook, 2007 edition!!) When two or three persons (attending from the SAME company location) register together at the SAME time on the SAME registration form, seminar fee is reduced to only $1450/person. OTHERWISE, ANY REGISTRATION FORM THAT IS SUBMITTED FOR ONLY ONE PERSON WILL BE CHARGED THE FULL $1495 PRICE. When four or more people from the SAME plant location register -- at the SAME time on the SAME registration form -- the seminar fee will be reduced to only $1425/person.

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.
