New Area of Knowledge for SkillsUSA: Nitrogen Plastic Welding

If you are planning on competing in this year’s 2017 SkillsUSA competition, there will be a new knowledge area being introduced, nitrogen plastic welding. However, this will not become part of the scoring until 2018. Let’s take a look at what will be required.

Polyvance has created a video demonstrating what the general repair area will look like on the bumper cover. The video shows step-by-step instructions on what is required to repair the bumper. Some of these steps include: cleaning, prep for welding, welding, and the finishing process. It also, shows the rigorous destructive testing done to the bumper cover after it is repaired.
