Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized manufacturing occupation that produces powder raw materials for magnetic materials and supplies them to subsequent processes such as magnets and magnetic core materials.
Description
Magnetic powder manufacturing workers manufacture magnetic materials for electronic components, electrical equipment, and motors. They micronize raw magnetic iron oxide and ferrite using pulverizers, adjust particle size with classification devices, mix, sinter, and re-pulverize as needed, then ship after quality inspections of particle size distribution, purity, magnetization rate, etc. They operate and maintain manufacturing equipment, manage safety and hygiene, and ensure stable production and quality.
Future Outlook
Stable job demand is expected due to expanding needs for magnetic materials in EV motors and high-performance sensors. Further specialization will be required with advances in higher efficiency and miniaturization.
