Hard Skills
IntermediateElectroplating Quality InspectionThe process of systematically examining plated metal surfaces to identify defects such as pitting, peeling, blistering, or uneven coating thickness.
IntermediateCoating Thickness MeasurementProficiency in utilizing precision instruments like X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers, magnetic gauges, or eddy current testers to verify plating depth.
BasicAdhesion TestingConducting standardized tests such as the bend test, heat-quench test, or tape test to ensure the plating is properly bonded to the base metal.
IntermediateTechnical Blueprint ReadingThe ability to interpret engineering drawings and specifications to understand required tolerances, finish types, and masking requirements.
AdvancedHazardous Material Handling and SafetyKnowledge of safety protocols for interacting with corrosive acids, cyanides, and heavy metals used in the electroplating process.
