Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialist in surface treatment that forms an oxide film on aluminum products using electrolysis to enhance corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and decorativeness.
Description
Aluminum anodizing workers apply electrolytic treatment to the surface of aluminum products to form an oxide film, improving corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and decorativeness. Before starting work, they perform pre-treatments such as degreasing and cleaning, then immerse products in an electrolytic bath and apply voltage. After processing, they conduct post-treatments like dyeing and sealing, and perform quality inspections to check film thickness and appearance. They also manage equipment, adjust electrolytic solutions, and improve work procedures to stabilize processes and reduce defects. As they handle chemicals, safety and health management and compliance with environmental regulations are required.
Future Outlook
With growing demand for lightweight aluminum parts and designs, demand for anodizing technology remains stable. As environmental regulations and automation advance, advanced skills will be required.
