(3) Determines metal identity and characteristics by subjecting metal to spark, acid, fire, magnetic, alkaline, heat, quench and fracture tests.
(4) Tests specimens for predetermined requirements of tensile, bend, shear and impact strength using materials testing machines.
(5) Compares findings with material and strength requirements contained in blueprints, specifications and technical publications.
(6) Determines repair ability of damaged machined parts.
(7) Determines necessity for heat treating parts, tooling and repair or replacement gages, jigs and dies.
b. HEAT-TREATS METAL PARTS TO SPECIFICATION REQUIREMENTS:
(1) Controls heat-treating furnaces, quenching equipment and other equipment to alter properties of metal objects so as to harden, temper, anneal case-harden or normalize the materials.
(2) Heat treats nonferrous metals by solution and precipitation treating.
c. SURFACE TREATS METAL PARTS:
(1) Sets up and controls planting equipment to coat surfaces.
(2) Performs miscellaneous surface treatments.
d. MAINTAINS TESTING, HEAT-TREATING, METAL SURFACING, METAL WORKING MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT:
(1) Performs metal working machinery adjustments and maintenance such as leveling machinery, checking gear trains for proper clearance, adjusting, repairing and replacing machine tool devices and parts.
(2) Evaluates inspection reports and surveys and makes recommendations for necessary corrective actions.
(3) Checks installed and repaired components.
(4) Reviews maintenance management publications, technical orders and other information regarding aircraft metals technology.
