Identify causes of faulty aluminium extrusions

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to systematically examine aluminium extrusions produced on solid and hollow dies for faults that are both die, and non-die related and tracing the reasons for the faults.

It includes determining the most appropriate corrective action for the fault and, where appropriate, providing recommendations to extruder operators, die designers and die manufacturers.

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.
