Chad Compton

Refurbished steam turbines ans turbine parts, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

Operated and maintained HVOF thermal spray equipment to apply protective coverings.

Utilized a variety of tools, including grinding and cutting tools, lathes, HVOF thermal guns and torches.

Ensured precision and accuracy using micrometers and other precision tools.

Handled high pressure systems and managed multiple gases including propylene, oxygen and nitrogen.

• Made steel form parts using various cutting equipment and welded part together per specifications.
• Measured and cut metal pieces to correct length and angle to attain proper fit and alignment of pieces.
• Suggested improvements to soldering process to increase efficiency.
• Cut, grinded and bent edges of materials to be joined for snug fit using power grinders and hand tools.
• Completed projects safely by closely monitoring conditions when lighting torches and using tools.
• Resolved weld-related problems by researching and using appropriate repair practices.
• Welded metal components in vertical, overhead and flat positions.
• Prepared surfaces for welding by smoothing and removing debris to achieve proper adhesion and weld quality.
