Job Summary
Perform material production tasks without any close supervision, using complex equipment and tools, preparing and testing of production/research samples for routine analysis. These activities primarily include the manufacturing of extruded ingot materials and secondarily including various substeps in a supporting role for additional ingot manufacturing processes. Employee will follow written procedures and established instructions.
Primary Duties & Responsibilities
Preparation and Production of Extruded Ingot Materials
Ingots are manufactured and delivered on time to internal and external customers by set-up and operation of ingot production steps
Loading and unloading of ingots from furnaces for alloying and quenching of compounded raw materials in sealed containers.
Heat Treatment Furnace operation for sintering and post extrusion process steps, with material prepared and heat treated with correct processing programs called out from various equipment controllers by loging in recalling the correct program
Operation of Sand Blasting Cabinet to remove surface layer of material, including changing of abrasive media at regular intervals.
Equipment preparation including the cleaning of growth chambers and extrusion dies, with the use of power tools required.
Extrusion equipment operation including chamber to ram alignment and use of human machine interface controller.
Use of sliding table wet cutoff saw for sectioning extruded materials for post extrusion processing.
Consumables and supplies used in relevelant ingot manufacturing steps are continuously monitored and supervisor infomed for lack of such supplies to maintan sufficient levels
Clean up and storage of set ups is done in a timely fashion upon completion of kits
Ensure toos used in processes are calibrated and send to repair/calibration on time
Removing, cutting, testing and grading of Ingot Materials
Prepare ingots and ingot samples for testing of ingot properties and performance evaluation.
