くらっどこうはんせいぞうこう（ねっかんあつえんによるもの）
Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A job in the clad steel plate manufacturing process that stacks raw metal plates and integrates them via hot rolling to produce multi-layered steel plates.
Description
Clad steel plate manufacturing workers (by hot rolling) heat the raw materials of clad steel plates, which consist of laminated different metal plates, to an appropriate temperature in a heating furnace, then roll them to the specified thickness and width using a rolling mill to achieve integration. After rolling, they perform cooling, water cooling, cutting, and surface inspection to finish products that meet quality standards. During work, they thoroughly manage the operation of heating furnaces and rolling mills, temperature and speed parameters, safety and hygiene measures, and quality control, while also handling equipment troubleshooting and process improvements.
Future Outlook
While production efficiency improvements are expected due to advances in automation and IoT in manufacturing, the decline in skilled workers presents a challenge. Demand for high-quality clad steel plates remains stable, and acquiring process control technology and automation skills will enhance market value.
