Summary
A manufacturing technician who performs tempering treatment on metal parts using a high-temperature furnace after quenching to achieve appropriate hardness and toughness.
Description
Tempering workers are manufacturing technicians who reheat metal parts after quenching and hold them at a specified temperature for a certain time to balance hardness and toughness. They operate the furnace's temperature and timer control panel, and after processing, conduct precision inspections using hardness testers and micrometers. Based on work standard documents, they record and manage processing conditions and results to ensure quality. They also perform furnace maintenance inspections and safety device checks, and safety and health management in scorching environments due to high-temperature work is essential.
