Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Electrocoating painters are surface treatment technicians who apply coating films to metal products using electrodeposition methods. They handle a series of processes from pretreatment to painting and baking.
Description
Electrocoating painters pretreat metal products through degreasing and phosphate treatment, then immerse them in an electrodeposition tank to adhere paint via electrophoresis. After adhesion, they check the uniformity of the coating film and cure it in a baking furnace to ensure coating properties. It is applied to a wide range of products such as automotive parts and architectural hardware, and quality control and equipment maintenance are also important tasks.
Future Outlook
Demand for high-quality electrocoating remains stable due to stricter quality requirements and environmental regulations in manufacturing. While automation technologies are advancing, skills in managing and maintaining machinery are expected to be emphasized.
