Hard Skills
AdvancedGas Tungsten Arc Welding (TIG)A precision welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld, essential for high-quality tool and die repairs.
IntermediateTool Steel MetallurgyThe study and application of the physical and chemical behavior of tool steel alloys and their response to heat treatment during welding.
IntermediateBlueprint Reading and GD&TThe ability to interpret technical drawings and apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing standards to ensure parts meet specifications.
ExpertMicro-weldingA specialized welding technique used for making extremely small and precise repairs on intricate tool surfaces, often under magnification.
IntermediatePrecision MetrologyThe use of high-accuracy measurement tools such as micrometers, calipers, and dial indicators to verify tool dimensions post-weld.
IntermediateHard-facingThe application of a wear-resistant material to the surface of a tool or die via welding to extend its operational life.
