Non-Ferrous Metal Melter for Castings
いものようひてつきんぞくようかいこう
Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Worker who heats and melts non-ferrous metals used in casting production in a melting furnace, performs alloy adjustments and temperature management, and supplies molten metal to molds.
Description
Non-ferrous metal melters for castings use electric furnaces or gas furnaces to melt non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and copper, perform degassing treatment and component adjustment by adding alloying elements, and control temperature. They measure and record the chemical composition and temperature of the molten metal, and are responsible for pouring into molds while maintaining quality. During work, they wear heat-resistant equipment and protective gear, and are required to manage safety in high-temperature environments.
Future Outlook
With automation and IoT adoption in manufacturing, equipment will become more advanced, but demand for skilled workers with expertise in melting techniques and quality control will continue. Enhanced environmental regulations will require advanced expertise such as degassing technology.
