Furnace Operator

Operate induction melting furnace (2 melting + 1 holding) full shift cycle

Charge copper cathodes and Cu-P master alloy as per recipe and chemistry requirement

Control melt chemistry Cu 99.9%, Phosphorus: 0.015%0.040%

Remove dross from melt surface twice per shift — prevent oxide contamination

Monitor and log all furnace parameters every 30 minutes — power, N pressure, cooling water

Transfer molten metal to holding furnace via launders — monitor launder temperature

Charge dry, traceable plant return scrap — confirm dry and oil-free before charging

Coordinate with Cast House Lab for spectrometer chemistry results — 16 tests per shift

Complete accurate shift log and handover — no gaps, no blank fields

Induction furnace operation — startup, steady-state, shutdown sequence

Melt chemistry control — Cu purity and phosphorus content management

Cu-P master alloy weighing and addition — exact quantities every time

Dross recognition and safe removal — prevent oxide contamination

Cooling water and N pressure monitoring — alarm response

Molten metal launder transfer — temperature control

Log sheet discipline — 30-minute parameter entries — no gaps

High-temperature PPE compliance — aluminized PPE usage

3 to 8 years in induction furnace, foundry or non-ferrous metal melting plant

Hands-on experience in copper, aluminium or brass melting — preferred

Understanding of melt chemistry control, dross removal and launder operation
