Electrode Fabricator LPCT 854

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS

• Cutting Objective: Identify, measure, align and cut released Alloy for Electrode fabrication.
  • Identify released metal by M L number, using the MLC database.
  • Calculate the length of Alloy to efficiently utilize inventory, taking into consideration stub length and furnace capabilities.
  • Align Alloy bar in Bandsaw to ensure a smooth, straight cut.
  • Maintain Bandsaw as it is cutting to ensure blade stays on track, and cut remains straight.
  • Stub recycling: Cut off melted Alloy from end of Stub.
  • Ensure stub is cut straight.
  • ID M L, length and alloy type on the stub per identification template.
• Welding Objective: To adequately weld Alloy bar to Stub, creating a Titanium Electrode.
  • Ensure welder is in proper operating condition.
  • Verify that there is enough weld wire, that the weld wire is the correct type, and that the feeder is working correctly.
  • Remove any alpha case inclusions, and debris from welding surface on bar and stub.
  • This may include the use of wire brushes, grinders, air hammers and acetone.
  • Ensure that Alloy is released by M L number, using the MLC database.
  • Fill out a manual Weld map, and enter into MLC database to create barcoded electrode tag.
  • Use TIG welder to attach Alloy bar to stub.
  • Clean all weld lines using a wire brush.
  • Mark all weld lines with Alloy M L number for identification.
  • Verify total electrode weight and attach Bar code tag.
  • Record Keeping and Inventory Objective: To maintain records of welds, Bandsaw cuts, electrode maps and metal inventory.
    • Maintains records of all welds.
    • Maintains records of usable metal.
    • Assures that all metal is identified by metal lot number.
    • Validates metal inventory as requested.
    • Positively identifies fabricated electrodes.
    • Maintain records of bandsaw cuts per blade.
    • Updated MLC database for inventory accuracy and electrode tracking.
  • Safety Objective: To maintain a safe working environment with an emphasis on safety consciousness in all aspects of the job.
    • Adheres to plant and department safety rules.
    • Safely operates all equipment and tools.
    • Identifies and reports safety problems.
    • Performs monthly STOP audits.
    • Mets all production and quality standards.
  • OTHER ACCOUNTABILITIES: Performs other tasks as directed.
