Industry & Occupation
Classification
- Major : Research and Technical Occupations
- Middle : Manufacturing Engineers
- Minor : Other Manufacturing Engineers
Summary
Refractory materials manufacturing engineers are technical professionals responsible for the entire process of producing refractory materials (such as refractory bricks and castables) that withstand high-temperature environments, from raw material blending to forming, firing, and quality inspection.
Description
Refractory materials manufacturing engineers are specialists who blend and knead raw materials such as alumina and silica, perform press forming or extrusion forming, and then control the drying and firing processes. They handle operation management of firing furnaces (kilns), temperature control, dimensional inspection after forming, physical property testing, and other quality control tasks. They also engage in process optimization, troubleshooting, and safety and health management, aiming to improve product reliability and manufacturing efficiency.
Future Outlook
With increasing demand for high-performance materials and energy-saving technologies, along with advances in manufacturing process automation and environmental regulation compliance, the demand for refractory materials manufacturing engineers with specialized knowledge is expected to remain stable.
