Purpose:
Support plant metallurgist related to metallurgical aspects of thermo-mechanical production processes.
Main Responsibilities:
•Assist with technical queries (TQ) and any internal feasibility analysis request (e.g. from product Engineering, from manufacturing dept), including product downgrade or re-allocation, helping to define capability and limitations from metallurgical point of view for thermo-mechanical processes.
•Assist with defining set-up of processes that involve thermo-mechanical transformations from the metallurgical aspect.
•Support qualifications from the metallurgical point of view of new or modified: thermo-mechanical processes, steel and/or steel suppliers and/or products.
•Follow and implement Failure Analysis protocols for the analysis of internal problems or external claims.
•Monitors performance of thermo-mechanical processes, (e.g., heat treatment reprocessing); analyzing quality indicators to identify process performance and/or product quality.
•Interprets test results and microstructures, and correlates them with material properties and processing history. Experience with SEM/EDS analysis is a plus.
•Analyzes test results, ensuring compliance with specifications, with a focus on steels and their heat treatment.
•Assists in identifying and resolving technical issues related to testing or specimen quality.
•Verifies the application and development of safety standards.
•Complies with Tenaris policies, procedures and management standards, and ensures adherence with all laws and regulations that apply to the area of responsibility.
•Protects from damage, theft or misuse the facilities, equipment and other physical resources assigned to his/her area.
Preferred Experience:
•Hands-on experience or academic exposure in metallurgical/materials testing and/or manufacturing heat treatment processes.
•Familiarity with steel heat treatment processes and structure-property relationships
Preferred Education:
•Bachelor's degree in Materials Science, Metallurgy, or a related Engineering field.
Preferred Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:
•Strong foundation in metallurgy, particularly with steels.
•Knowledge of structure-property correlations in steels.
•Experience with or understanding of heat treatment techniques.
•Attention to detail and analytical mindset.
•Experience interpreting and implementing manufacturing/quality specifications (such as ISO 9001, API 5CT, etc.).
•Experience/knowledge in metallographic sample preparation and optical microscopy, including SEM/EDS experience.
