Overview

This unit covers preparing and producing welds to code standards using manual metal arc welding (MMAW).

Assessment

For Melbourne campuses

Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce and extend knowledge and skill competence within set and controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes and performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.

Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills:

  • depositing welds to procedure requirements;
  • determining weld outcomes, consumables and settings from welding procedure specification;
  • interpreting technical drawings and weld specifications for welding to code standards using MMAW;
  • using hand and power tools to prepare and weld materials to code standard;
  • using measurement and numeracy skills for welding to code standards, and;
  • using language and literacy skills to enable completion of weld records.

Students will also be expected to demonstrate the following knowledge:

  • requirements to produce welds to quality of AS 1210, AS 4041, ASME IX or equivalent;
  • safe welding practices;
  • use and application of personal protective equipment for MMAW;
  • knowledge of appropriate standards or codes;
  • methods for preparing plate for code standard welding;
  • pre-welding and post-welding heating methods and requirements for plate welding to code standard;
  • requirements for maintaining weld records to code standard, and;
  • hazards and control measures associated with welding, including housekeeping.

Required reading

The qualified trainer and assessor will provide teaching and learning materials as required in the form of workbooks produced by the Polytechnic and/or via the Polytechnic e-learning system.
