This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to select the appropriate process to achieve the desired result, record and maintain heat treatment information, and test treated materials.

Equipment used does not include drop and upset machinery, vacuum furnaces or rolling and extruding mill machinery.

Where destructive and/or non-destructive testing is required units defining the appropriate skills and knowledge should also be selected.

Where heat treatment is required appropriate heat treatment units 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.

Where the selection and tools are required, unit MEM18001 Use hand tools and unit MEM18002 Use power tools/hand held operations, should also be selected as appropriate.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Unit Weight: 6

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the 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.
Heat treatment processes include one (1) or more of the following:	coatings and packings preheating soaking quenching tempering annealing normalising carburising sintering
Metal composition includes one (1) or more of the following:	high/low carbon steel ferrous/non-ferrous
Equipment includes one (1) or more of the following:	salt baths vacuum furnace induction heating kilns gas fired furnaces
Materials include one (1) or more of the following:	ferrous metals non-ferrous metals
Testing includes the following:	destructive methods non-destructive methods
Heat treatment faults include one (1) or more of the following:	thermal fractures distortion shrinkage oxidisation

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.

Observation Checklist
