Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Aluminum ingot manufacturing workers melt and refine alumina or recycled raw materials to produce base metals such as ingots and billets.
Description
Aluminum ingot manufacturing workers melt raw materials such as alumina and scrap at high temperatures, and produce ingots and billets while removing impurities through electrolytic refining and remelting. They consistently handle operations of furnaces, electrolytic cells, and casting machines; management of temperature, current, and chemical composition; quality inspection; equipment inspection and maintenance; and safety measures. To stabilize and improve the efficiency of the process, they maintain material balance and operating conditions, and when troubles occur, they need to quickly analyze the cause and take action. Since the work involves many high-temperature environments and handling of heavy objects, safety awareness and physical strength are required.
Future Outlook
The aluminum market is showing an increasing demand trend in fields such as automobiles, aircraft, and building materials. As the introduction of recycling technologies and energy-saving refining processes progresses, and efficiency improvements through advanced and automated equipment are required, the demand for workers with specialized skills remains stable. Knowledge and skills that can respond to environmental regulations and carbon neutrality requirements will be important for future career development.
