Summary
Casting pouring workers melt metal in a melting furnace and pour it into molds to manufacture metal products. They handle everything from mold preparation to pouring, cooling, and finishing.
Description
Casting pouring workers prepare molds such as sand molds or metal molds, and pour metal melted in a melting furnace at the appropriate temperature. After pouring, they handle finishing processes such as cooling, deburring, and refractory material repair, and inspect the dimensions and quality of the products. Since the work involves high-temperature environments, dust, and heavy labor, safety and health management and the use of appropriate protective gear are essential.
