Objectives: Describe basic metallurgy and its impact on the collision repair industry. Explain how the use of new materials used in vehicles relates to collision repair dynamics. Understand why vehicle makers are moving toward advanced highstrength steels. Identify the repair considerations for advanced high-strength steels and new vehicle construction processes. Objectives: Identify trends in full-frame vehicle design and construction. Identify issues related to full-frame repair. Repair full-frame and unitized body damage following vehicle maker’s procedures. Objectives: Identify how to test for HSS and UHSS, and common locations UHSS can be found. Understand the considerations and implications of heating HSS and UHSS. Understand best practices for removing and attaching parts on HSS and UHSS vehicles. Understand the considerations surrounding different attachment methods when working on HSS and UHSS parts. Objectives: Removing and replacing spot welds and OEM laser welds. When to replace at factory seams and when to fully replace a steel unitized part. Considerations for working with other materials, such as aluminum, magnesium, and plastics, on primarily steel vehicles. Considerations for disassembling an assembly in the absence of vehicle maker specifications. Objectives: Understand why I-CAR has adapted its position on sectioning and why general sectioning guidelines no longer apply. Understand the various types of sectioning joints used by vehicle makers. Considerations for sectioning vs. part replacement. Objectives: Understand when to use heat for straightening and the proper use and control of heat to retain structural integrity. Gauge when straightening is needed for a repair and when it is needed to prepare for a replacement procedure. Determine various anchoring locations and the correct placement of clamps. Protect yourself and others around you during the straightening and pulling processes. Understand the various types of pulling methods and how to monitor pulling force. Identify proper stress-relieving techniques throughout the straightening process. Understand considerations for straightening full-frame vehicles, including removing diamond, sway and mash. Students are expected to: Correctly set up the measuring equipment; identify vehicle specifications; make 3D measurements; and interpret and discuss measurement results.

In order to take SPS05, you must have a current WCS03 –Steel GMA (MIG) Welding Qualification. Successful completion of SPS05 brings an automatic renewal of WCS03. The principles and techniques of structural steel sectioning are covered. Welding principles, equipment setup and preparation are briefly reviewed. Measuring, cutting and part alignment are covered before hands-on practice and testing. The steel sectioning qualification test is performed to demonstrate the technician’s ability to perform proper steel part sectioning.
