Unit of Competency MEM05026 - Apply welding principles
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency has been developed for post-trade training of advanced engineering tradespeople and the recognition of post-trade skills in applying welding principles to meet the statutory and regulatory requirements for welding procedures generally associated with the application of one of the units satisfying AS 1796-2001 (R2016) Certification of welders and welding supervisors, Certificates 1-9.This unit covers the underpinning knowledge required to satisfy AS 1796-2001 (R2016) Certification of welders and welding supervisors and includes knowledge of welding terms, codes and symbols, the effects of heat treatment on metal as it relates to welding, and the logical sequence for a welding process required to be conducted to AS 1796-2001 (R2016) Certification of welders and welding supervisors. It covers welding, planning and set up principles for a range of materials and processes.This unit must be assessed in combination with one of the units satisfying the AS 1796-2001 (R2016) Certification of welders and welding supervisors, Certificates 1-9. These units include: MEM05042 Perform welds to code standards using flux core arc welding processMEM05043 Perform welds to code standards using gas metal arc welding processMEM05044 Perform welds to code standards using gas tungsten arc welding processMEM05045 Perform pipe welds to code standards using manual metal arc welding processMEM05046 Perform welds to code standards using manual metal arc welding processMEM05058 Perform welds to code standards using oxy fuel gas welding process.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Band: BUnit Weight: 4
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

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, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Statutory and safety requirements include:

as required by AS 1796-2001 (R2016) Certification of welders and welding supervisors, welding codes

Welding is to AS 1796-2001 (R2016) Certification of welders and welding supervisors and includes one (1) or more of the following:

flux core arc welding (FCAW)

gas metal arc welding (GMAW)

gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW)

manual metal arc welding (MMAW)

oxy fuel gas welding

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.
