Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing engineering position that produces metallic titanium from titanium ore through smelting processes, performs quality control, and handles equipment operation and maintenance.
Description
Titanium smelting engineers are specialists who use titanium ore as raw material to produce metallic titanium through smelting processes such as the reduction method and vacuum distillation method. They primarily operate and monitor industrial furnaces like melting furnaces, reduction furnaces, and vacuum furnaces, and perform process control using DCS (Distributed Control System). They analyze the chemical composition and physical properties of products and conduct quality tests to stably supply products that meet standards. They also handle equipment maintenance and inspections, safety management, and environmental measures. Much of the work involves operations in high-temperature and high-pressure environments, requiring precise data management and a strong safety consciousness.
Future Outlook
While stable demand continues due to lightweighting needs in aerospace, medical, and automotive fields, the adoption of energy-saving and automation technologies is expected to increase demand for engineers with advanced control skills.
