Troubleshoot difficult metal machining designs and fabrication problems. Plan work, taking into consideration the type and numbers of machining/welding operations, machines to be used, and type of set-ups and methods of production such as cutting, milling, grinding, welding, and polishing. Perform shop calculations such as determination of peripheral cutting speeds and settings. Determine metal identity and characteristics by subjecting metals to spark, acid, fire, magnetic, alkaline, heat, quench, and fracture tests. Test specimens for predetermined requirements of tensile, bend, shear, and impact strength using materials testing machines. Weld ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys such as cobalt, chrome, nickel, aluminum, magnesium, and titanium. Weld butt, lap, tee, and corner joints in flat, vertical, horizontal, and overhead working positions. Weld metals and alloys by shielded gas welding (Heli-arc), metallic arc, oxyacetylene, and resistance welding processes. Compare machine parts with drawings, technical orders, or specifications for conformance with established tolerances, fits, and surface finish. Make precision measurements using micrometer, vernier calipers, dial indicators, and gauges at various dimensions. Inspect tapered surfaces for variations by applying bearing blue and using surface plate. Determines reparability of damaged machine parts, tools, and aircraft components. Test metals using Rockwell or Brinell hardness testing methods. Conduct training of drill status guard (DSG) members assigned to the shop. Prepare for and participate in various types of readiness evaluations and inspections, mobility, and command support exercises.
