Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing job that melts metal raw materials at high temperatures, performs alloy adjustments, and manages molten metal.
Description
Metal melting workers are responsible for melting raw materials of iron and steel or non-ferrous metals in high-temperature furnaces and adjusting them to specified chemical compositions and temperatures. They handle furnace operations, fuel management, measurement and control of molten metal temperature, slag processing, degassing, and other process management to maintain safe and stable melting processes. Since it involves high-temperature environments and heavy machinery operation, safety management and equipment maintenance inspections are also important.
Future Outlook
Manufacturing industries such as iron and steel and aluminum have stable demand, while IoT and automation are advancing. Technologies for quality control of melting processes, energy saving, and safety improvements are being introduced. Market value is expected to be maintained by deepening expertise.
