Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency applies to a foundry tradesperson who is required to select and conduct an appropriate chemical, mechanical or OES test from a prescribed range of possible tests. Tests are conducted on samples of materials commonly used in foundries with results being compared against specifications for the material or product. The foundry tradesperson may be required to draw some conclusions from the results of the specified tests in regard to whether an adjustment is required within their skills and knowledge to casting or melting procedures or whether to consult on the results with a metallurgist or other authority according to standard procedures. Work would be conducted under the general supervision of a metallurgist.Band: BUnit Weight: 4 | ||
