Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A job that involves rolling billets (semi-finished metal products) into specified cross-sectional shapes and dimensions at steel mills and similar facilities.
Description
Billet rollers heat cast billets to a uniform temperature in a heating furnace, feed them into the rolling mill, and adjust the roll gap to achieve the specified cross-sectional dimensions and surface quality. Before operations, they inspect the equipment, and during operation, they manage temperature, lubrication, and rolling speed. After rolling, they measure product dimensions, inspect for defects, and select those that meet standards. Due to the high-temperature and noisy environment, safety and health management and teamwork are essential. They are involved in the entire process from raw material intake to shipment.
Future Outlook
Amid fluctuations in domestic and international steel demand and the introduction of labor-saving and automation technologies, the demand for billet rollers with advanced machine operation and quality control skills is expected to remain stable.
