EMPLOYMENT HISTORY
Blastco, 318 Neeley St. Sumter, SC 29150
Blaster/painter, March 2012 - February 2013
Abrades surfaces of metal or hard-composition objects to remove adhering scale,
sand, paint, grease, tar, rust, and dirt, and to impart specified finish, using abrasive-
blasting equipment: Shovels or pours abrasives, such as sand, grit, or shot of specified
grade into machine hopper. Masks specified areas of object to protect from abrading
action. Loads parts on racks in enclosed rooms, into tumbling barrels, or into cabinets.
Turns valves on equipment to regulate pressure and composition of abrasive mixture
flowing through nozzle or into tumbling barrel. Starts equipment that directs blast or flow
of abrasive-laden compressed air, gas, or liquid over surface of parts. Manually directs
nozzle over surface of large parts or inserts arms through glove-fitted cabinet openings
and manipulates small parts under nozzle for specified interval.
Armoloy Southeast, 785 Electric Dr. Sumter, SC 29153
Plater/Honer, August 2011 - March 2012
Sets up and controls plating equipment to coat metal objects electrolytically with
chromium, copper, cadmium, or other metal to provide protective or decorative surfaces
or to build up worn surfaces according to specifications. Reads work order to
determine size and composition of object to be plated; type concentration and
temperature of plating solution; type and thickness and location of specified plating
metal; and amount of electrical current and time required to complete plating process.
Immerses object in cleaning and rinsing baths [Metal-Cleaner, Immersion any industry.
Suspends object], such as part or mold, from cathode rod negative terminal and
immerses object in plating solution. Suspends stick or piece of plating metal from
anode positive terminal and immerses metal in plating solution. Moves controls on
rectifier to adjust flow of current through plating solution from anode to cathode and to
permit electro deposition of metal on object. Removes plated object from solution at
periodic intervals and observes object to ensure conformance to specifications. Adjusts
voltage and amperage based on observation. Examines object visually at end of
process to determine thickness of metal deposit or measures thickness, using
instruments, such micrometers or calipers. Grinds, polishes or rinses object in water
and dries object to maintain clean even surface. Mix, and test strength of plating
solution, using instruments and chemical tests. Measure, mark, and mask areas
excluded from plating. Plate small objects, such as nuts or bolts, using motor-driven
barrel. Direct other workers performing variety of duties, such as racking, cleaning, or
plating objects. Operate equipment with reverse polarity and be known as Plating
Stripper. Operates honing machines to hone internal or external surfaces of metal parts,
such as cylinders, bearings, and connecting rods to specifications, usually on
production basis: Obtains such information as dimensions, tolerances, and number of
parts in run from job order.
