Essential Job Functions:

• Reviews Technique Cards and paperwork.
• Visually inspects castings for core material, scale, sand and other contaminants; may reject parts for chemical milling and reroute for cleaning.
• Measures specified areas on castings using dimensional measuring devices and/or Ultrasonic Thickness testing equipment to determine amount of stock to be removed; records measurements.

Objective: to take samples of chemical baths, make corrections, neutralize, pump and build baths prior milling to assure conformance to process control specifications; to test tank pumping systems prior to operation.

Essential Job Functions:

• Checks daily lab analysis to determine if bath chemistry is within specification ranges; checks bath temperature.
• Calculates etch rate using standard formula.
• Adds acid to bath in order to bring chemistry up to specifications, using standard formulas; adjusts surface tension as needed.
• Checks operations of circulation pumps; checks for leaks; troubleshoots and reviews pumping diagrams if needed.
• Pumps spent tank solutions to neutralization facility; cleans and rinses tanks.

Objective: to submerge castings in baths and mill according to specified procedures.

Essential Job Functions:

• Submerges castings in chemical tanks using tumblers, fixtures and hoists; submerges castings into a nitric-hydrofluoric acid solution in accordance with Process Control Procedures.
• Monitors milling operations; calculates etch rate and modified bath times accordingly.
• Removes masking tape; places dried parts on pallets.
• Removes castings, rinses and transfers to drying ovens.

Completes logs and records, including measurements, calculations, chemical additions and milling times.

5. Meets all production and quality standards.

Objective: to take responsibility for and demonstrate safe work practices.
