Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing worker who processes sintered metal materials to specified thickness and dimensions using a rolling mill and manages quality.
Description
Sintering rolling mill workers are specialized operators who take metal blocks or sheets formed and sintered through powder metallurgy, manage temperature appropriately in a heating furnace, pass them through a rolling mill, and process them to specified thickness and dimensions. They perform roll gap adjustment, speed control, cooling condition settings, etc., measure with micrometers or thickness gauges, and inspect for surface scratches or cracks. They also handle periodic machine inspections, simple maintenance, lubrication, troubleshooting during abnormalities, safety device checks, and maintain safety and quality across the entire production line.
Future Outlook
While automation and IoT implementation will advance labor reduction, demand for high-quality metal materials will continue. Demand is expected to increase for personnel skilled in advanced machine maintenance and quality control techniques.
