Hard Skills
AdvancedInvestment CastingThe specialized process of building a ceramic shell around a wax pattern to create high-precision metal components.
IntermediateRefractory Slurry PreparationThe precise mixing of ceramic powders and binders to create a coating material with specific viscosity and thermal properties.
IntermediateDewaxing and Autoclave OperationThe removal of wax patterns from ceramic shells using high-pressure steam or heat without damaging the mould integrity.
IntermediatePattern Assembly and TreeingThe technical arrangement of multiple wax patterns onto a central sprue to maximize foundry yield.
BasicFoundry Health and SafetyAdherence to safety protocols regarding hazardous dust, high-temperature equipment, and chemical exposure in a foundry setting.
IntermediateKiln Firing ProceduresThe process of heating ceramic moulds to specific temperatures to remove moisture and increase structural strength.
AdvancedDefect Detection and RepairIdentifying and fixing flaws such as cracks, inclusions, or thin spots in ceramic shells before casting.
