Heat Treat Technician

A Heat Treat Technician is responsible for operating heat treatment equipment to alter the hardness, strength, ductility, or other properties of metal components. This is done to meet design specifications, improve durability, or prepare parts for further machining or use.

Requirements

• Heat Treatment Operations: Operate furnaces, ovens, quenching tanks, and other heat-treating equipment to perform processes such as annealing, hardening, tempering, normalizing, carburizing, or stress relieving.
• Specimen and Part Preparation: Prepare metal parts for treatment by cleaning, assembling fixtures, and verifying material condition.
• Process Monitoring and Documentation: Monitor time, temperature, and cooling rates using sensors or control panels; accurately document all processing data.
• Equipment Maintenance: Maintain heat treat equipment, validate that instruments are calibrated before using, and ensure safe operation.
• Compliance and Safety: Follow strict safety guidelines, environmental controls, and quality standards (e.g., AMS, ASTM, or customer-specific requirements).
