  • Set up, operate, or tend plating machines to coat metal or plastic products with chromium, zinc, copper, cadmium, nickel, or other metal to protect or decorate surfaces. Typically, the product being coated is immersed in molten metal or an electrolytic solution.

  • Adjust dials to regulate flow of current and voltage supplied to terminals to control plating processes.
  • Attach nozzles, position guns, connect hoses, and thread wire to set up metal-spraying machines.
  • Cut metal or other materials, using shears or band saws.
  • Examine completed objects to determine thicknesses of metal deposits, or measure thicknesses by using instruments such as micrometers.
  • Immerse workpieces in coating solutions or liquid metal or plastic for specified times.
  • Position and feed materials into processing machines, by hand or by using automated equipment.
  • Set up, operate, or tend plating or coating machines to coat metal or plastic products with chromium, zinc, copper, cadmium, nickel, or other metal to protect or decorate surfaces.
  • Suspend sticks or pieces of plating metal from anodes, or positive terminals, and immerse metal in plating solutions.

  • Cut industrial materials in preparation for fabrication or processing.
  • Determine metal or plastic production methods.
  • Maintain production or processing equipment.
  • Measure ingredients or substances to be used in production processes.
