Determine materials and techniques for a composite component or product
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit focuses in particular on the interactions between a resin system and the reinforcing, and also includes interactions with any core. Flow of fluid in porous media is described by Darcy’s Law and this will need to be applied in this unit.
This unit builds on the units covering the selection and use of reinforcing and resins and in particular covers the interactions between resins and reinforcement.
This unit would typically be undertaken by an individual in liaison with relevant stakeholders or it may undertaken by a team. Determining materials and techniques may be undertaken in an office or laboratory environment or at the worksite.
The completion of the job will be part of a fabrication and may be undertaken by an individual or a team. It may be undertaken in a workshop or factory environment or in the field and may be used to manufacture new products, prototypes and samples, or to make repairs.
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to select and use resin system/reinforcing combinations for a composite product. It includes the science of reinforcing, and core and resin interactions. It also includes basic design of a composite component/product but does not include structural design.
