"As a soon-to-be materials tester I am often on the move in our production. For example I take samples of water out of the corrosion equipment and check whether the pH-value is correct. In the laboratory we carry out random checks on coated products out of the e-coat device and examine whether all values are within the tolerance range. With the microscope I am able to take a closer look at the metal. For example, welding seams can be checked more thoroughly and finally also very small cracks can be found. Many samples must be prepared at first. In order to visualize the material structure the samples will be acid-treated.

Of course I wear the corresponding protective clothing and respect the security rules in this case. Always very important is to record the test results – this is also part of my job!”
