Summary
Surface treatment technician who forms a phosphate coating on metal product surfaces to improve corrosion resistance and paint adhesion.
Description
Bonderizing workers apply bonderizing treatment to adhere phosphate coatings such as zinc phosphate to metal products. They control chemical reactions through immersion in acidic solutions or spray processing to generate uniform coatings. They manage processing conditions (temperature, pH, time), operate equipment, conduct washing and drying processes, perform coating thickness and appearance inspections, and deliver to the painting process. They handle line operations or batch processing, and also manage safety, hygiene, and environmental measures including waste liquid treatment.
Future Outlook
While automation and robotization advance, demand for specialized skilled workers remains stable due to strengthened environmental regulations and demand for high-performance coatings. Human resource development is expected in fields such as low environmental impact technologies and high value-added surface treatments.
