Hard Skills
IntermediateElectroplating Process ControlThe ability to set and monitor electrical current, voltage, and immersion timing to achieve precise metal deposition on substrates.
AdvancedChemical Bath MaintenanceTesting, adjusting, and replenishing chemical solutions and electrolytes to maintain the correct pH levels and chemical concentration.
IntermediateSurface Preparation and Pre-treatmentRemoving contaminants through degreasing, pickling, and etching to ensure optimal adhesion of the finish.
IntermediateCoating Thickness MeasurementUtilizing precision tools such as X-ray fluorescence (XRF) or magnetic gauges to verify compliance with technical specifications.
AdvancedHazardous Waste ManagementCorrectly identifying, handling, and disposing of toxic chemicals and sludge produced during the finishing process.
BasicRacking and Masking TechniquesThe strategic placement of parts on conductive racks and the application of protective coatings to areas that should not be plated.
