Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A job that handles everything from smelting tungsten raw materials to powder production, forming, sintering, and post-processing.
Description
Tungsten manufacturers use oxides obtained from tungsten ore as raw materials, performing powdering through reduction reactions, classification, press forming, sintering, and high-temperature processing to manufacture tungsten parts for superhard alloy materials and electronic components. They operate crushing machines, classification machines, press equipment, and sintering furnaces, and are responsible for managing particle size distribution and purity, as well as quality inspections. There is extensive work in high-temperature and high-pressure environments, along with handling chemicals, requiring strict safety management and precise process control.
Future Outlook
Demand is stable for electronic components, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and high-temperature material applications. With advances in recycling technology and alternative material development, the need for personnel skilled in process improvements and high-quality production techniques is expected to continue.
