Electromagnetic Steel Sheet Worker
でんじこうはんこう
Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing job that performs rolling processing of electromagnetic steel sheets to produce steel sheets with specified thickness and width.
Description
Electromagnetic steel sheet workers manufacture electromagnetic steel sheets used in iron cores of generators and transformers. After heating slabs (steel billets) to a specified temperature in a heating furnace, they adjust thickness and width using rough rolling and finishing rolling mills, then perform tension leveling and coiling after cooling. During production, they inspect for thickness variations and surface defects to maintain quality. Additionally, they are required to thoroughly maintain and adjust rolling mills and cooling equipment, manage workplace safety, and achieve the specified production yield.
Future Outlook
With the spread of electric vehicles and renewable energy, demand for electromagnetic steel sheets is increasing. Advances in high-quality thin sheet manufacturing technology and automation are increasing the need for skilled workers.
