HEAT TREATER

Etobicoke, ON

Heat Treat Operator / Hardness/Conductivity Inspector

This role is responsible for Heat Treating parts to obtain hardness, conductivity, colour, and /or other specifications as required.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Monitor the process, adjusting times and temperatures to ensure it is running correctly, run the data acquisition software, monitor progress, and prepare reports.
• Test parts for hardness and conductivity using testing equipment to ensure products conform to manufacturer's specifications.
• Read production schedule to determine processing sequence and furnace temperature requirements for objects to be heat treated.
• Set automatic controls, read gauges, and operate electric furnace used to harden temper, or anneal metal parts, reduce heat, and allow parts to cool in furnace.
• Load parts into containers, close furnace door, and insert parts into furnace when specified temperature is reached, remove parts from the furnace after specified time and air drying or cooling parts in water quenching or other baths.
• Clean oxides and scale from parts, immersing parts in chemical and water baths or as required.
