Hands-On Days I & II at BUTTING

In 2024, BUTTING in Knesebeck will once again be offering the popular Hands-On Days I. These events provide customers and business partners in the stainless steel industry with the opportunity to share our extensive practical expertise of over 245 years with their employees. They are primarily intended for employees in purchasing and sales who are interested in gaining basic knowledge of stainless steel pipes and pipe fittings.

The Hands-On Days I
The main topics are:

  • Introduction to material science
  • Basic principles of steel coil and steel plate production
  • Introduction to surface technology
  • Introduction to quality assurance
  • European and American standard norms
  • The "perfect" pipe request

The key concepts are discussed in brief theoretical lectures before the attendees can experience them in practice in current production.

The next German-language events will be held on:

  • 11 and 12 March 2024
  • 3 and 4 June 2024
  • 21 and 22 October 2024

The Hands-On Days I event will be held in English from 22 to 24 April. 


The Hands-On Days II
The lectures and practical experience will be continued at the Hands-On Days II event, which focuses on the following topics:

  • Welding – a special process in pipe production
  • Errors in the machining of corrosion-resistant steels and their effects
  • Workshop: Mechanised welding
  • Workshop: Different machining processes and their impact on the quality and functionality of the pipe
  • Possibilities for pipe finishing – forming, turning, milling, cutting

This training course will take place on 18 and 19 November 2024. Hands-On Days II builds on the content of Hands-On Days I and is therefore aimed at experienced employees from commercial enterprises who work with pipes and pipe fittings.

You are welcome to register using our registration form on the Hands-On Days I and Hands-On Days II pages.
