Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized manufacturing job that applies nickel plating to parts and products using the electrolytic method to impart corrosion resistance and wear resistance.
Description
Nickel electrolytic workers use electrolytic plating equipment to apply uniform nickel coatings to product surfaces. After pre-treatment such as degreasing and cleaning, they immerse products in electrolytic baths under specified current density and temperature conditions, and manage the chemical composition, pH, and temperature of the electrolyte. After plating, they perform thickness measurements, appearance inspections, and corrosion resistance tests to confirm that the coating meets specifications. Operations are conducted in line or batch methods, often involving standing work and handling heavy products. Handling chemicals and heavy metals requires strict safety and health management as well as compliance with environmental regulations.
Future Outlook
Demand remains stable for applications improving corrosion resistance in automotive and electronic parts. Amid advancing environmental regulations and the introduction of automation and labor-saving technologies, the need for personnel with advanced process development and quality management capabilities is expected to increase.
