HOTLINE
LADIES’ NIGHT
Technical Meeting November 9, 2006
Hitachi America Ltd: A leader in FSW technology
One of the newest
enabling trends in
aluminum automotive
structures is Friction Stir
Welding (FSW).
Since peak temperatures
are well below the melting
Frank Hunt
point, FSW does not induce
harmful metallurgical
changes to the weld metal that are common
with fusion welding and resistance welding
of aluminum.
This advantage permits dissimilar grades
of aluminum to be welded and greatly enhances
the design possibilities for lightweight
structures.

CHAIRMAN’S
M E S S A G E
Global Market
I would like to thank Don DeCorte
and Mark Sieling for the overview on
MFDC inverter power supplies and the
global direction they see the market
going at our October Technical Meeting.
Like many other markets that must
respond to the global competition. We
have to rethink how we are going to run
the business and compete in the world
market. We will be required to change the way we process and manufacture.
Companies must work on specifications, procedures and processes that can
be used in all parts of the world. Change is here and we need stop resisting
and move to a global way of thinking.
Nothing lasts forever embrace change and manage the effective
implementations of global processes. The AWS Welding Show October 31
– November 2, 2006 in Atlanta Georgia is a great place to learn the best
practices in manufacturing and construction from around the world. I
would encourage you to make a point to attend the AWS Welding Show.
and become a global thinker.

Life’s journey took Bob from
childhood in Nebraska to high school
and college in Ohio and finally to
homes in Livonia, Michigan and
Englewood, Florida.
Along the way he earned degrees in
Welding Engineering and Electrical
Engineering at Ohio State University.
He served as a B17 Navigator in the
Army Air Corps in WWII with active
duty in all three theatres of operation.
He enjoyed his role as a husband to
Freda for 58 years; father to Lynn,
Karen and Jim. He was a father-inlaw to John, Dave and Diane;
grandfather to Steven, Adam and
Susan; and great-grandfather to
Justin and Megan.
Wanderlust drove him to explore the
American West with his wife, children,
dog and camping trailer in tow. He
also visited exotic locales such as
Isreal, Hong Kong, Japan,
Switzerland, Australia, France,
England and Sweden.
We will miss him!
