Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A profession that applies anodic oxidation treatment (alumite treatment) to the surfaces of aluminum products to improve corrosion resistance and decorativeness.
Description
Alumilite treatment workers are specialists who improve the corrosion resistance and appearance of aluminum products through surface anodizing (alumite treatment). The work processes consist of degreasing and etching using solvents or electrolytic solutions, anodic oxidation treatment, sealing, and more. During operations, they strictly control current, temperature, and processing time to ensure uniformity in film thickness and finish quality. They also conduct quality inspections such as corrosion resistance tests, film thickness measurements, and coloring, while paying attention to environmental measures including safety and health management and waste liquid treatment.
Future Outlook
While stable demand is anticipated due to increasing demand for aluminum products such as automotive and electronic device parts, the need for advanced technicians capable of responding to stricter environmental regulations and the introduction of automation technologies is growing.
