- Welder, fabricator, maintenance at scepter in Waverley, Tennessee

- we would fabricate fix and repair on rotary furnaces and their main Casting furnaces

- I would build hot tops for electric furnaces, metal molds for aluminum ingots raging from different weights repairs on molten metal hoppers they use for transportation of molten aluminum to Casting unit

-I also ran a lot of steam pipe on the ceiling for Casting units

-I have experience with Lansing rods, a lot of times the main Casting furnace would be overloaded and would spill molten aluminum on concrete floor, and we would have to lance it up in chunks for removal

-I also have experience with beefing up structural integrity of structural pieces or buildings, building and erecting, stairs, pipes, etc.

• Welded in flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions.
• Maintained clean working environment by consistently organizing tools and equipment, promoting workplace safety.
• Demonstrated versatility in various welding methods including MIG, TIG, Stick, and Flux Core Welding techniques.
• Fabricated shop parts directly from blueprints.
• We built a full molten magnesium ingots manufacturing line
• Ranging from hydraulic lifting molten metal pots, superheated trough systems for pouring, full metal chain conveyor systems for different weights of ingots
• All of the molting metal tanks or pots we did a stainless steel clad plating 309 stainless wire to carbon steel for strengthening the steel
• Plus, we built all platforms, stairs, handrails, etc.
• insulation of fire brick
• Insulation of all heavy duty, electric conveyor motors
