Engineers at the Rybinsk plant ODK-Saturn completed a professional retraining program in welding production technologies. The course included four modules dedicated to materials science, modern welding methods, design of welded structures, and analysis of experimental data.
In recent years, the equipment fleet has been significantly updated. The production introduced installations for thermal spraying, rotary friction welding, argon arc welding in a controlled atmosphere, electron beam welding, as well as laser and powder cladding.
Alexey Polyakov, Chief Welder of ODK-Saturn, emphasized that the enterprise experiences high demand for qualified welding specialists.
The employees' final qualification works are dedicated to plasma spraying, high-temperature vacuum brazing, automatic argon arc welding, electron beam welding, laser cladding, and rotary friction welding. These are the most advanced modern welding technologies.
Against this background, the Rybinsk plant is looking for fitters to work with the flagship PD-8 engine, but is ready to pay them only from 50 thousand rubles. At the same time, the expected experience is from three years, and a qualification of 4-6 categories is also required.
