specifications. Determine work load processing priorities.

Measure critical dimensions to determine tolerances available for the specified chemical process. Determine area of surfaces to be processed by obtaining information from blueprints or similar documents and calculating area as required for various shapes such as triangles, circles, cones, etc. Using available current density specification
information, determine time and current necessary to obtain required thickness of coating and process following established specifications and procedures. Perform other
similar electrolytic anodizing or surface treatment processes. Add chemicals as required per written directions following good shop practice relative to chemical processing. May assist other shop personnel as required.

Use operations verification to assure manufacturing processes have been completed to requirements.
