Electrode Fabricator - Deer Creek (Portland, OR

MISSION:

To accurately and consistently fabricate and weld titanium electrodes into titanium ingots for casting into parts.

Objective: Identify, measure, align and cut released Alloy for Electrode fabrication.

• Identify released metal by M L number, using the MLC database
• Calculate the length of Alloy to efficiently utilize inventory, taking into consideration stub length and furnace capabilities.
• Align Alloy bar in Bandsaw to ensure a smooth, straight cut
• Monitor Bandsaw as it is cutting to ensure blade stays on track, and cut remains straight
• Stub recycling
• Cut off melted Alloy from end of Stub
• Ensure stub is cut straight
• Identify M L, length and alloy type on the stub per identification template

Objective: To adequately weld Alloy bar to Stub, creating a Titanium Electrode

• Ensure welder is in proper operating condition
• Verify that there is enough weld wire, that the weld wire is the correct type, and that the feeder is working correctly
• Remove any alpha case inclusions, and debris from welding surface on bar and stub. This may include the use of wire brushes, grinders, air hammers and acetone.
• Ensure that Alloy is released by M L number, using the MLC database
• Fill out a manual Weld map, and enter into MLC database to create barcoded electrode tag
• Use TIG welder to attach Alloy bar to stub.
• Clean all weld lines using a wire brush
• Mark all weld lines with Alloy M L number for identification
• Verify total electrode weight and attach Bar code tag.
