Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Shaped steel manufacturers use reheating furnaces and rolling equipment to continuously process steel billets, producing shaped steel products such as beams and channels.
Description
Shaped steel manufacturers feed steel billets heated in reheating furnaces into the rolling line, adjusting the reduction amount and speed between rolls to produce shaped steel products. They ensure quality through temperature control and dimensional measurements, and perform machine inspections and maintenance during line stoppages. Work involves high-temperature environments and heavy machinery operation, making safety and health management crucial.
Future Outlook
While steel industry production remains flat, demand for high-value-added shaped steel is increasing, so the need for skilled workers is expected to persist. Amid advancing automation and labor reduction, skill succession poses a challenge.
