Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A profession that uniformly forms coatings with functionality and aesthetics such as rust prevention, corrosion resistance, and decoration on the surface of metal products using methods like electrolytic plating, electroless plating, and chemical conversion treatment.
Description
Coating plating workers are technicians who improve the appearance and functionality of metal products by forming thin coatings through electrolytic plating, electroless plating, chemical conversion treatment, and other methods. The work begins with pretreatment such as degreasing and pickling, followed by immersing products in tanks and applying electricity while appropriately controlling the concentration, temperature, and current of the plating solution. After treatment, quality inspections such as film thickness measurement and gloss measurement are conducted, and post-treatment or passivation is performed as needed. Important tasks also include waste liquid treatment and workplace management in compliance with environmental and safety regulations.
Future Outlook
With strengthening environmental regulations and increasing demand for high-performance materials, the demand for personnel with advanced surface treatment technologies is expected to remain stable. While automation and unmanned operations advance, specialized technicians will be needed in fields such as special plating and fine processing.
