Hard Skills
IntermediateNon-Destructive Testing (NDT)The use of ultrasonic, radiographic, or dye penetrant methods to inspect the internal and external integrity of metal castings without causing damage.
IntermediatePrecision Dimensional MeasurementUsing specialized tools such as calipers, micrometers, and coordinate measuring machines (CMM) to verify casting dimensions against technical blueprints.
BasicVisual Surface InspectionSystematic examination of casting surfaces to identify defects such as cracks, blowholes, inclusions, or surface roughness.
IntermediateMetallurgical KnowledgeUnderstanding the chemical and physical properties of primary metals and how cooling and processing temperatures affect casting quality.
BasicHardness TestingOperating machinery such as Rockwell or Brinell testers to measure the resistance of metal castings to indentation.
BasicQuality DocumentationMaintaining accurate records of inspection results, defect logs, and material certifications for traceability.
