Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing job that fuses and fixes hard alloys to the metal surfaces of parts and tools to enhance wear resistance and impact resistance.
Description
The Surface Hardening Cladding Worker (using hard alloy cladding method) is a specialist who forms wear-resistant layers on the surfaces of metal parts using techniques such as arc welding with hard alloys. After fusing hard alloy powder or special electrodes to the base material, grinding, finishing, and hardness testing are performed, and dimensions and hardness are strictly managed based on design drawings. Measures against high-temperature environments, dust, and welding fumes, as well as safety and health management, are also important parts of the job.
Future Outlook
Amidst the labor-saving and robotization in manufacturing, skilled technicians are still required for precise surface strengthening processes.
