Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Review design specifications and referenced standards and codes for metallurgical requirements
  • Review design documents and drawings and identify material, welding process, consumables, standards and codes specifications
  • Review specified standards and codes for metallurgical requirements
  • Identify metallurgical and welding related defect risks for specified base, filler and consumables
       
Element: Check base metals and alloys for consistency with specifications
  • Check provided metal or alloy materials for consistency with specifications
  • Identify any faults in materials and assess potential implications for weldability and task suitability
  • Arrange for any sampling, pre-welding tests or test welds in accordance with SOPs to determine weldability
       
Element: Apply metallurgical principles to welding and heat treatment
  • Monitor weld pool formation and solidification processes for consistency with metallurgical requirements and standard operating procedures
  • Monitor and adjust welding parameters to suit metallurgical requirements of material being welded
  • Ensure welding related heat treatment is performed consistent with metallurgical principles and standard operating procedures
       
Element: Apply metallurgical principles to inform mitigation strategies to avoid common weld cracks or defects
  • Identify suitable methods for residual stress control
  • Check selection of welding consumables and parameters to ensure hydrogen content is consistent with avoidance of weld cracks or other defects in different metals
  • Ensure distortion minimisation techniques are applied to mitigate metallurgical effects of heating and welding on parent metal properties
       

Submission Requirements

(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.
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.
