Unit of Competency MEM04022 - Examine appropriateness of methoding for mould design
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to examine the methoding (gating, running and feeding of castings) for mould designs using basic metallurgical techniques and skills. This work is under the overall direction of a metallurgist.It applies to a foundry tradesperson who has to examine the appropriateness of own or others methoding for a mould design using basic metallurgical skills and techniques supported by normal empirical trade skills. 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.
Prerequisites/co-requisites

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Report results
  • Compare casting results with computer simulated predictions
  • Determine reporting requirements
  • Prepare reports and circulate for feedback and file in accordance with SOPs
  • Communicate suggestions for improvements directly to other team members where appropriate
       
Element: Determine job requirements
  • Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs)
       
Element: Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times
       
Element: Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs
       
Element: Identify job requirements from specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions
       
Element: Evaluate proposed mould design for methoding requirements
  • Identify risk management strategies to minimise defect formation
       
Element: Identify desired solidification process and take into account casting design, metal composition, mould design and specifications
       
Element: Identify running, gating and feeding principles and techniques appropriate for the particular casting
       
Element: Identify methods to minimise shrinkage, porosity, segregation, hot tearing and shear
       
Element: Examine suitability of methoding, including gating and the number, placement and sizing of feeders/risers
       
Element: Enter data where required to facilitate the generation of a computer simulation of methoding and casting process for later comparison to actual casting
  • Compare casting results with computer simulated predictions
       
Element: Determine reporting requirements
       
Element: Prepare reports and circulate for feedback and file in accordance with SOPs
       
Element: Communicate suggestions for improvements directly to other team members where appropriate

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.

Size and number of feeder heads and gating includes the following:

manual calculation and use of computer programs within defined design parameters

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.
