Unit of Competency MEM08003 - Perform electroplating operations
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to perform a range of metal plating processes in the electroplating, electronics, jewellery manufacture and metal fabrication industries. It includes the general operation, monitoring and adjustment of manual, semi and automatic electroplating processes and applies to volume production and 'jobbing' involving rack and barrel type processes.Where simple operating and monitoring of the electroplating process is required unit MEM07024 Operate and monitor machine and process should also be selected. Where the interpretation of technical drawings is required unit MEM09002 Interpret technical drawing should also be selected.Where the selection and use of engineering measurement is required unit MEM12023 Perform engineering measurements should also be selected.This unit should not be selected if unit MEM07025 Perform advanced machine and process operation has already been selected.Where the selection and use of power tools/hand held operations is required unit MEM18002 Use power tools/hand held operations should also be selected.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. Band: AUnit Weight: 6
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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

Electroplating requirements include one (1) or more of the following:

coating thickness

appearance

ductility

hardness

corrosions resistance

wear

Untreated materials include one (1) or more of the following:

steel

copper

brass

cast iron

stainless steel

Electroplating treatment includes one (1) or more of the following:

pre-treatment

electroplating operations

post treatment

Check includes (1) one or more of the following:

componentry

electrodes

circuitry equipment

Instruments and gauges include one (1) or more of the following:

volt meters

ammeters

temperature recorders/indicators

AMP per hour meters

Electroplating operations include one (1) or more of the following:

engineering coatings

protective finishes

decorative plating

Adjustment includes one (1) or more of the following:

time

temperature

current density

voltage

Visual inspection includes one (1) or more of the following:

surface texture

brightness

free from roughness

pitting

cracking

machining marks

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.
