Fundamentals of Wire Manufacturing

Saturday • May 5 and Sunday • May 6 • 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Back by request, this two-day course gives newcomers, operations and technical staff a thorough introduction to the industry. The course will cover general topics on day one and separate ferrous and nonferrous tracks on day two, ensuring that you devote more time learning the basics that apply to you. Students with various levels of experience are welcome in this session, which is the first in a series of multiple Fundamentals phases offered through WAI.

Case studies, excercises, and a question-and-answer session are all part of the instructional format enabling students to earn WAI's certificate of completion.
