Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A job that manufactures wire rods with specified diameters and physical properties by drawing metal alloy wires through dies.
Description
Alloy wire drawing workers heat raw alloy rods or wire rods to an appropriate temperature in a heating furnace, then draw them through dies (molds) to reduce the wire diameter. They adjust drawing speed, drawing pressure, and cooling conditions to ensure specified dimensions and surface quality, and wind them into coils using a winding machine. After manufacturing, they measure dimensions using micrometers, and perform heat treatment or surface treatment as needed to manage quality.
Future Outlook
While automation and labor-saving technologies are advancing, demand for high-precision and special alloy wire rods remains stable, and the need for skilled workers is expected to continue.
