Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A skilled worker who performs heat treatment by diffusing carbon into metal parts in a gas carburizing furnace to improve wear resistance and durability.
Description
Gas carburizing workers are specialists who perform heat treatment by infiltrating carbon into the surface of steel parts using combustible gas in a carburizing furnace. They precisely control furnace temperature, gas composition, and retention time to appropriately adjust the thickness and hardness of the hardened layer. Tasks include inspection of gas equipment, equipment operation, quality inspection, hardness testing with measuring instruments, and important roles in safety management and compliance with laws and regulations.
Future Outlook
Advancements in process control through automation and IoT are progressing, requiring a shift from equipment operation to data analysis skills. However, demand for industrial parts remains stable, and the need for skilled experts is expected to continue.
