Unit of Competency | MEM04005C - Produce moulds and cores by hand (jobbing) |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit of competency covers manual making (jobbing) of sand moulds and cores for metal casting typically in a working foundry. Moulds are made by an Engineering Tradesperson - Fabrication from specifications, instructions or drawings. | ||
Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency applies to the production of sand moulds and cores by a foundry tradesperson often called a moulder using manual (jobbing) methods to produce metal castings. The unit does not cover machine moulding. The jobbing moulding methods covered by this unit apply to a range of materials and types of patterns and require matching of job specifications and patterns to mould and core production based on knowledge of the metal casting process. This unit has been developed for Engineering Tradesperson - Fabrication apprenticeship training and the recognition of trade level skills in the production of moulds and cores. The ability to match patterns, moulds and cores for a wide range of jobs is a key trade skill and can usually only be gained from experience in the range of work and the combination of on and off-the-job training typical of an apprenticeship. Where lifting and moving moulds and cores requires the use of mobile load shifting equipment or overhead cranes, appropriate manual handling units should also be selected. Where the securing of moulds requires welding skills, refer to MEM05012C Perform routine manual metal arc welding and MEM05050B Perform routine gas metal arc welding, as appropriate.Band: AUnit Weight: 16 | ||
