Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A processing worker who coats metal products with hot-dip zinc galvanizing to impart rust resistance.
Description
Galvanizing workers coat the surfaces of steel materials and iron products with hot-dip zinc galvanizing to enhance rust resistance. The work includes pre-treatments such as degreasing and pickling, immersion in the plating bath, management of bath temperature and chemical composition, measurement of plating film thickness, and finishing inspections. Since high-temperature plating tanks are handled, safety and health management is important, and care is taken in handling chemicals and treating waste liquids. To maintain quality while achieving efficient production, they adhere to work procedures, perform equipment inspections, and engage in process improvements.
Future Outlook
Demand for rust prevention in building materials and infrastructure structures is stable, and expertise is emphasized with technological innovations for environmental regulations. While automation of plating processes advances, demand for skilled technicians is expected to continue.
