Hard Skills
IntermediateNon-Destructive Testing (NDT)The application of specialized inspection methods like ultrasonic, magnetic particle, or liquid penetrant testing to evaluate steel integrity without causing damage.
IntermediateDimensional MetrologyThe use of precision measurement tools such as calipers, micrometers, and laser gauges to verify that metal products meet exact size and shape specifications.
AdvancedSurface Defect IdentificationThe ability to visually detect and categorize flaws such as seams, scale, slivers, or cracks on the surface of primary metal products.
IntermediateInterpretation of Technical DrawingsReading and understanding engineering blueprints and material specification sheets to determine the required tolerances and inspection criteria.
AdvancedMetallurgical Property TestingConducting tests such as Rockwell hardness or tensile strength assessments to confirm the physical properties of the steel.
IntermediateStatistical Process Control (SPC)Applying statistical methods to monitor and control the production process, identifying trends that indicate potential quality issues.
