Hand forge complex shapes

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to produce intricate solid forged shapes commonly forged in the forging and fabrication areas of industry.

It covers hand forging of different metals, using specialised techniques, tools and jigs where specialised methods of holding, positioning and lifting complex forgings are required.

Where hand forging of simple shapes is required unit MEM06001 Perform hand forging should also be selected.

Where the interpretation of technical drawings is required unit MEM09002 Interpret technical drawing should also be selected.

Where the selection and use of engineering measurement is required unit MEM12023 Perform engineering measurements should also be selected.

Where the selection and use of tools is required unit MEM18001 Use hand tools and unit MEM18002 Use power tools/hand held operations, should also be selected as appropriate.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Complex hand forging includes one (1) or more of the following:

shaping

reverse tapering

jump up section for bends

Hand forging techniques include one (1) or more of the following:

spreading

surface chasing

hot splitting

Equipment includes one (1) or more of the following:

diesel

electric and gas furnaces

coke fires

gaseous oxygen/fuel equipment

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.

Observation Checklist
