Hard Skills
IntermediateDimensional InspectionThe practice of using precision measuring tools like micrometers, calipers, and gauges to verify that leaf spring dimensions meet engineering specifications.
IntermediateHardness TestingOperating Rockwell or Brinell testing equipment to measure the resistance of heat-treated metal to indentation.
IntermediateVisual Defect AnalysisSystematic examination of metal surfaces to identify flaws such as cracks, pits, seams, or scale that may compromise structural integrity.
AdvancedLoad and Deflection TestingUsing specialized hydraulic machinery to apply specific weights to springs and measuring the resulting displacement to confirm spring rate.
IntermediateTechnical Drawing InterpretationThe ability to read and understand blueprints, CAD drawings, and tolerance specifications for metalwork components.
