Ladies and gentlemen, good evening. I’m very glad to give the presentation to you. Today I’d like to talk about my work.

I’m served in XXXX Company limited, XXXX for short. It is a member of China energy engineering corporation limited. Our company mainly serves the construction of electric grids and power plants. We have four main departments and I am working in piping department. We are committed to provide clients with nuclear and thermal power piping, power boiler piping, petrochemical piping and related services.

As the technical director, my work includes the following contents. These are my main work contents. Next I want to talk about one important part of my work.

Piping production has more than 10 processes from raw material to finished product. Do you think what’s the most important process in piping department? That's right, welding. Now I want to talk about welding. It’s also my major and my most important work part.

When people talk about the welding, maybe these pictures will appear in their mind. Yes, this is welding, but it’s only a very small part. Now with the development of welding technology, people have hundreds of welding processes. These pictures are some examples.

Let’s see the definition of welding.

Welding: A joining process that produces coalescence of materials by heating them to the welding temperature, with or without the application of pressure or by the application of pressure alone, and with or without the use of filler metal.

According to the different heating, pressure and filler metal, welding has many types. Each welding process has its applicable situation .

No matter which welding process, the final goal is the same. The question is, ”HOW?”It’s a difficult and complicated problem. When I am looking for the answer, I have found some rules. It's interesting that the rules can also answer another difficult question: How to get success. I found they have some common points. We can learn something from welding.

The first is Preparation. When we want to get an excellent weld, we must have qualified welder, acceptable base metal and filler metal, a welding procedure specification and available equipment. We must prepare these things before welding. For our life, if we want to get the chance to change our life, we must prepare first. Success belongs to the prepared mind.(NP)

The second is suffering. Think back the definition of welding. Heating, pressure or heating and pressure, sometimes peening. Do you know peening? Peening is striking with a hammer. See, the weld suffers so many pains. People are the same. No pains no gains. No sweat no sweet. No cross no crown. This is an absolute truth.

The third, Carefulness and attention. One weld is composed of many layers from root pass to surface pass. Whichever pass has problems, the entire weld will fail. So the welder should be very careful and keep the attention on it from begin to end. For people, it’s the same. When we want to do something well, we should have intense concentration on it. For people it is even worse. Because if the weld fails, it can be repaired. But time waits for no man. People can never go back and grow up again.(NP)

Life is like welding.

When you are studying hard, under pressure or feeling intense, congratulations, you are on the way to success.
