Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Technical occupation manufacturing hard brazing alloys (hard solders) primarily composed of copper, silver, etc. Handles everything from raw material mixing, melting, forming, to inspection.
Description
Hard solder (brazing) manufacturing workers are technicians who produce metal brazing solders primarily composed of copper or silver. They handle weighing and mixing raw metals, heating and melting in melting furnaces, pouring into molds, solidification through cooling, polishing and shaping, and quality inspection. Since alloy ratios and temperature control directly impact product quality, precise operations and safety measures are crucial. Due to high-temperature work and handling of chemicals, qualifications such as Hazardous Materials Handler and the use of protective equipment are essential.
Future Outlook
While automation and labor reduction advance, there is demand for capabilities in high-value-added alloys and multi-variety small-lot production, and the demand for technicians with specialized metallurgical skills is expected to remain stable.
