Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Chilled roll manufacturers handle the entire series of processes from casting to heat treatment, machining, grinding, and inspection of cooling rolls (chilled rolls), precisely fabricating mechanical parts used in manufacturing equipment.
Description
Chilled roll manufacturers begin with the casting process, pouring molten metal melted in a casting furnace into a mold, cooling and removing it. The extracted casting is heat-treated to impart the specified hardness and microstructure, then machined to the required dimensions and shapes using lathes, milling machines, and grinding machines. After machining, dimensions are inspected using calipers and micrometers, and surface quality and hardness are verified. They also engage in process improvements and quality control to maintain product precision.
Future Outlook
While automation and labor reduction in manufacturing are advancing, skilled workers handling high-precision products remain essential. Acquiring IoT and digitalization skills will enhance future market value.
