Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized technician who performs carburizing treatment to diffuse carbon into metal parts and hardens the surface through quenching.
Description
Carburizing and quenching workers are responsible for infiltrating carbon into metal parts such as automotive and industrial machinery components using a carburizing furnace to increase surface hardness, followed by rapid cooling in a quenching furnace. They strictly manage processing conditions (temperature, time, atmospheric gas), and confirm quality through hardness testing and microscopic inspection. Work in high-temperature environments, furnace operation, safety management are important, and they follow standard operating procedures while also performing equipment maintenance inspections and responses to abnormalities.
Future Outlook
With the demand for high-quality metal parts in manufacturing, specialized heat treatment skills are stably required, while the introduction of automation equipment advances, demanding advanced operation and maintenance capabilities.
