Portable Welding Education Tools Identify Weld Defects and Discontinuities

In Booth C-1519, Realityworks, Inc. (Eau Claire, WI) announces a new product for welding educators and trainers: the RealCareer® Welding Solutions Weld Defects Kit, which join the company’s current line of experiential learning tools for welding education, including the guideWELD® VR welding simulator and the guideWELD® LIVE real welding guidance system.

The portable, lightweight Weld Defects Kit contains 13 plastic, true-to-life models of common defects that can occur when welding. Educators can use the kit to inspect welds and instruct welding students on how to identify and correct common defects and discontinuities.

The Weld Defects Kit includes an instructor guide, welding posters, welding defect flashcards and comprehensive curriculum with training lessons covering major aspects of welding: welding safety, types and applications of welding, and weld testing.

“The Weld Defects Kit is the hands-on learning tool that educators have been asking for,” said Timmothy Boettcher, the president and chief executive officer of Realityworks. “At a time when the need for qualified future welders is high, the Weld Defects Kit, along with our other RealCareer Welding Solutions products, is positioned to help students improve their welding techniques more quickly.”
