Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing technician who heats metal pipes, shapes them using forging presses or hammering, and performs welding and finishing.
Description
Forged welded pipe workers heat iron and steel or alloy pipes to high temperatures and shape them to specified shapes and dimensions using forging presses or hammer processing. After shaping, they perform seam welding and weld bead finishing, followed by dimensional inspection and defect inspection to manufacture parts that meet quality standards. The work requires furnace operation, press machine operation, welding machine operation skills, and safety management. It involves a lot of standing work, handling heavy objects, and working in high-temperature environments, requiring skilled techniques and attention.
Future Outlook
While automation in manufacturing is advancing, there is stable demand for high-precision and high-quality metal processing, and the value of skilled workers remains high.
