- This TeamUSA slection Competition for SkillsUSA, was held at Alabama Robotics Technology Park in Huntsville Alabama.
Each year, students from local high school and post-secondary welding programs compete in SkillsUSA competitions. A series of local, district, and state-wide contests decide which two students will represent their state at the national level. Each participating state sends its high school and post-secondary champion to the national SkillsUSA Championships held in Louisville each June.
Every two years, the American Welding Society invites the top 48 welding competitors from the National SkillsUSA Championships (24 from each year) to compete in the four-stage Team USA Welder Selection: the Invitational Pre-Trials, Invitational Weld Trials, Finalist Tune-up, and The Final Weld Off. This competition decides which welder will represent the United States at the WorldSkills Competition being held in Abu Dhabi, October 14-19, 2017.
Competitors receive contest drawings and a set of welding procedure specifications. All drawings, welding symbols, and welding terms conform to the latest edition of the American Welding Society standards. Through a series of stations, contestants are tested on various aspects of welding: measuring weld replicas, using weld measuring gauges; laying out a plate and using oxy-acetylene equipment to cut several holes that are checked for accuracy and quality; Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) on steel making welds in various positions using short circuiting transfers; Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) using a shielding gas, making welds in various positions and, using a combination machine capable of providing the correct welding current for shielded metal arc (SMAW) and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). Competitors complete the steel project and weld an aluminum project in various positions using a variety of filler metals.
Well, at 70 years old I think it may be a little to late for me to check the bucket of becoming a welder after doing IT for the balance of my life. To late for me to be an apprentice but I do admire these young men & their skill.
Never give up there is always time
That's awesome you have high schools that have the ability and skills to do this. My high school weld shop teacher couldn't weld pipe to save his life. I think all he knew how to use was a squirt gun.
I learnt welding from youtube and my welding skills are pretty good now. So you can also learn from youtube if u want.
@@ashutoshdube6560 best channels ?
I'm happy for those men.Hope God bless them in the Welding Industry and Education.
Awesome! Great job and congrats to these young men. These young men have a bright future ahead of them. Best of luck
props to the welders.....the video was professional but it lacked real substance. why not include images of the pieces and highlight the skill they have? It's like making a great highlight reel of Michael Jordan with no dunks!
Bro it made me so mad that they didn’t let us see his welds
We all know that one welder who is insane but would rather drink.
Great "VICA" Skills-USA story for welding technology. Great opportunity for welding students.

there so many good welders outside....and one of that....in the Philippines,I'm proud of it
On my bus rn to the competition this year, I'll do my best 👌
I attended masonry in construction in 2017 skills USA comp in Arkansas. I’m doing welding this year
Did u start yet?? How is it
Great.. I did not know an International competition exist..! I need more information about this
Congratulations to all of those young men and especially to Chandler Vincent...GO AGGIES!!!!

I got 7th place for aluminum tig in the state of California it was ok I enjoyed the trip more then the actual competition I went in for stainless but they didn’t have it preparation so we just did aluminum then they didn’t have the right rod I studied the lame 100question written test till I remembered every answer and then we didn’t even do the test. However I bonded real close with the guys I competed with and are still some of my closest friends.
Mi admiración para esos manes, saludos desde Colombia
I wish I could do half the stuff with my everlast welder that these guys can. Kudos to them and the skills they possess.
I took some welding courses when I was a junior in high school through my community college just to learn for hobbies. Boy was I glad I took it, it was a very fun class. I'm an awesome mig welder, but I never learned how to tig. Hopefully I'll learn this year.
The issue is that in my high school, skillsUSA was a joke class/club so I never participated.
At the welding competitions here in europe they even usex-ray to check if its really good
Can I join the team ...I love welding ...I'm from Philippines
PLEASE GIVE ME ADVICE
IM NEW BIE INSPIRED WELDER IN THE PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭❤
How much winner get ?
God job sir
What happens if you place 1st as far as job placement?
Do they have welding scouts that go to these?
Congratulation guy's i think Is good This kind of competitions
How hard is it to get hired when youre self taught?
Pass my weld test
how can I become a member of the american welding society
What you make is what you settle on making. If you want to make more you have to want it more, there are jobs that pay more. Jock was right. It's not what you make, it's what you do with it. It's your life. Staying out of debt is best advice period.........
I can stee welding TiG welding and MiG welding and 6G welding and MMA welding and febrication I can get any work..
Grinding without a your helmet down or grinding shield will get you fired on any job
Show us the objects? What are the differences? ...?
6g tig arc welder cs ss gulf extraction 6 yes rnig & reyaz Ahmad ( imo +917738878531)
i remember when i first did this type of test, water started spraying out lol
Im state champion from California 5 years running i place 2 at nationals back in early 2003 and med 2009
porosity FXDB how is it judged
Lol 5 years. Give some other young guys a chance....
Ol Sage Orange Peels i was in hight school. In 2005 is when I compete In the college level. I was against college student with work experience n certs. I had none back then
Nick Messick it's judge on safety gear. Lay out and how it's taco together. Then Gets welded. Gets judge how each weld is done and the right location. Also u do a welding writing test see what of what u know
I was a skillsusa national championship from Michigan I know the system well
0:57 And now he's 14 years old
I have to say something here. All I will say is that I was a competitor. My welds are still on display now. I think this is good for students to get better, but it's not realistic. Also I think it is dangerous for these guys to come out actually thinking they are the best in the world. It simply isn't true. For example the guy that I defeated to go on to the national competition is a better welder than any one in this video, including Ray, Nick and Brandon (before you ask yes I've seen every one of there projects). I know at least 10 guys of the top of my head who are the same age that are better than these guys. It's not healthy to think there the best. These guys are still wet behind the ears and have alot to learn. I don't want to be negative. Can any one of the competitors tell me what the property procedure for welding Alloy 800 on a 6G 2in boiler tube weld test is? The welds used are not what is done in real life industry. Nobody puts 7018 root passes in across America. Just my 2 cents on this subject.
Ol Sage Orange Peels Alloy 800H/800HT® (UNS N08810 & N08811 / W.Nr. 1.4958 & 1.4959) are solid solution strengthened, iron- nickel-chromium alloys, typically offered as one, dual certified alloy meeting the elemental requirements of both alloys. The principle difference between alloy 800H and 800HT® material is the restricted aluminum and titanium content in 800HT®, which results in higher creep and stress rupture properties. Both Alloy 800H and 800HT® are superior to Alloy 800 (UNS N08800), having greater creep and stress rupture properties. The alloy is typically used for applications involving long-term exposure to high-temperatures where resistance is needed from oxidation, carburization and other types of high-temperature corrosion. Hydrocarbon processing, heat-treat furnaces and power generation are some of the most common applications where 800H & 800HT® is utilized. Pressure vessels and vessel components constructed from 800H and 800HT® are approved under the ASME,
Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section
VIII, Division 1.
Resistance to Corrosion
High nickel and chromium contents in both alloy 800H and 800HT® result in excellent resistance to oxidation, carburization and sulfidation. The high nickel content also increases the resistance to nitriding, although not as good as other alloys such as Alloy 600, which contains a higher percentage of nickel.
Fabrication and Heat Treatment
Hot-working temperatures should be between 1600°F and 2200°F with heavy forming to be performed at temperatures above 1850°F. No forming should be performed between 1200°F and 1600°F and preheating of tools and dies to 500°F is suggested to avoid chill. Cooling after hot working should be as quick as possible, avoiding extensive time at temperatures between 1000°F and 1400°F. Cold working should be performed on material in the annealed condition. Stress relief or annealing should be considered depending on the total amount of strain induced by fabrication taking into consideration the intended service of the material.

Plagiarism is the pinnacle of laziness.
@@i-love-comountains3850 LOL
Yes they do put 7018 root in nuclear weld test
No kidding, this is the bench welding championships... The best welders in America and the rest of the world probably could care less about some silly aws welding title. Because they know this shit isn't even close to the difficulty they experience on the job every other day.
Keep 'em coming ;)
I love welding
Give them a Lincoln ac tombstone stick welder see if they can lay nice welds down on old steel
That’s cool to have trade stuff like that! Living in SF is complete bullshit! Going into job oh you need this and that! Feel like in the Midwest you can get something super quick out there!
Nice welder 👼
Hello, I am a welder, I am looking for a job with a degree in welding and 8 years of experience who can help me get a job 😔

Hi, check out our website www.aws.org/foundation/page/career-resources for career resources
I work with Jeff
and this is how we cook steel pipes
not hispanic and no black?
👌👌👌
Missing them Texas boys
Great job by all of the contestants. I've been practicing with my everlast welder. All future contestants watch out! LOL
I hope and pray someday that there will be people of "color"that will compete in the SkillsUSA Welding TeamUSA.
Thats racist. seriously it is.
.-.
Squire Squirrel how!!!???
Eric Artis Why more AA? When welds fail people die.
Lol, beat it Eric. Go colour the sidewalk with crayons.
I was a competitive skills USA welder. The problem with this competition is that these guys actually think they are the best in the world. I thought that of myself until I became a pipewelder. There's a ton of guys that are better than these guys.
MIG
These young men will make $80,000 or more their first year. Stay out of debt and you can live well on that. Get into debt, live hand to mouth like many lawyers, and you can be poor on $400,000.
To say these kids are going to be pulling 80k with no real world experience is a bit silly, there is huge entry level glut in the welding industry (partly created by these programs) turnover is extremely high (which drives the experienced welder shortage) They would make more money inspecting. My cousin had been welding pipeline for 6 years and makes 50-55k a year, with pervious experience. He could make more on an oil rig but he doesn't want to be in the ocean. The average welder makes like 30k entry level with certs.
Joe Blow Working 12 hours a day seven days a week for as much time as they want to? They should, according to my teacher who is a union welder.
The numbers are a simple google search away. Underwater welding, military welders, industrial pipe welding, middle east pipe liners, can all make 6 figures. All of which need extensive experience and certs. My point remains, those kids have zero experience and so your claim of 80k a year is silly (46 hours a week in overtime is what it would take to get 80k a year for a newbie making 14.00$ hourly) its neither here nor there, the real world numbers are 30ish K a year for your average entry level welder.
88 : Not what I said, read again, comprehend.
88 : Are you a union welder or steelworker. Sure, these guys will start as helpers but they are the cream of the crop and will have an easy time getting in. Unless they just want to they won’t be working at a muffler shop for $14 an hour. At the GE machine shop where I worked a Vietnamese guy making $20 an hour and change made over $100,000 one very busy year. He was very, very skilled at polishing gas turbine blades and was in charge of his shift so was putting in 72 hours a week.
well,, the welds are nice but not great ,,but hey i,m from the Netherlands ( -%
What’s a good weld then send a picture of your welds then
yeah..not great welds.Maybe they are from the inside but they could look better from the outside.
Honestly theres one black kid in my class of 40 so not surprised theres none there lol
That's because black guys are smarter to stay away from this industry. It's not sunshine and roses.
These bullshit shows. Ive been welding since I was 5.
If you want to find the worlds best welder then your looking for someone who can succesfully join two rusted pieces of farm equipment with little to no amps on a windy day pissin down rain on a cattle yard.
Or maybe those guys who risk their balls lighting the water up under the guts of some bleeding ukrainian vessel bobbin around in shark infested waters tryin to seal up a hull crack.
No. The worlds best welder walks in with a suit n tie with a frappachino weldin behind flash curtains in a nice clean shed that you could eat off the floor.
There is no such thing as the worlds best anything, but I wouldnt be sayin that to iron mike...
