You will be responsible for anodizing processes for rifle scopes and binoculars.
Many of the main bodies and components of rifle scopes are made from aluminum. Aluminum is used because it is strong and lightweight; however, it is also prone to corrosion under certain conditions. Our anodizing process (anodic oxidation treatment) enhances corrosion resistance while also improving the appearance of the products.
In recent years, there has been increasing demand not only for black finishes but also for intermediate colors such as gray and ochre, making this a role that requires advanced dyeing techniques.
After joining the company, you will start by handling basic processing tasks under the guidance of senior staff. Gradually, you will take on more advanced processes and precision-oriented work. Depending on your aptitude, you may also be entrusted with tasks related to dyeing research and development.
