Fabrication of stainless steel and mild steel components & assemblies to drawings using GTAW, FCAW and GMAW welding equipment, grinding, band saws, plasma torch. Qualification under TevTech WPS’s. Gas distribution system fabrication includes orbital welding.
Utilization of fabrication and welding skills to meet specifications identified on component drawings, including dimension specifications, angles, flatness, weld preparation, penetration with no porosity. As all components are custom designed and fabricated, the ability to anticipate stress and or movement in components resulting from welding and then compensating for them is critical. Fabricated items include mild steel frames, stainless steel vacuum chambers and stainless-steel vacuum piping.
Position would be primarily welding and fabrication, but may do some of the following as well:
- Assembly of vacuum furnaces (including piping, frames, gas distribution systems, etc.)
- Operation and testing of vacuum furnaces (including loading, monitoring, unloading, fluid evaluation/changes as needed, insulation repair/replacement as required)
- Field service of vacuum furnaces and components.
- Shipping and receiving, including incoming order inspections. Order inspections will include the use of micrometers, tape measures, and angle measurements.
With this position, there may be some overtime, weekend or shift work on a periodic basis based on manufacturing workload as well as traveling.
