Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialist in smelting and casting operations that melt nonferrous metals and pour them into molds to manufacture ingots, castings, and similar products.
Description
Casting workers (nonferrous metal smelting) melt nonferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, and zinc in high-temperature furnaces and pour the molten metal into molds to produce ingots and castings. They handle a series of processes from charging raw materials, managing melting temperatures, degassing and removing impurities, preparing and installing molds, pouring operations, to demolding after cooling. Operating safety devices, exhaust gas treatment based on environmental regulations, and equipment maintenance are also important tasks.
Future Outlook
With the spread of electric vehicles and renewable energy, demand for nonferrous metals is increasing, and the demand for casting workers is expected to remain stable. In the future, with advances in automation and digitalization, there will be a greater need for personnel with skills in equipment maintenance and process optimization.
