Version 1.0
Issue Date: June 2024
This unit of competency has been developed for post-trade training of advanced engineering tradespeople and the recognition of post-trade skills in applying welding principles to meet the statutory and regulatory requirements for welding procedures generally associated with the application of one of the units satisfying AS 1796-2001 (R2016) Certification of welders and welding supervisors, Certificates 1-9.
This unit covers the underpinning knowledge required to satisfy AS 1796-2001 (R2016) Certification of welders and welding supervisors and includes knowledge of welding terms, codes and symbols, the effects of heat treatment on metal as it relates to welding, and the logical sequence for a welding process required to be conducted to AS 1796-2001 (R2016) Certification of welders and welding supervisors. It covers welding, planning and set up principles for a range of materials and processes.
This unit must be assessed in combination with one of the units satisfying the AS 1796-2001 (R2016) Certification of welders and welding supervisors, Certificates 1-9. These units include:
MEM05042 Perform welds to code standards using flux core arc welding process
MEM05043 Perform welds to code standards using gas metal arc welding process
MEM05044 Perform welds to code standards using gas tungsten arc welding process
MEM05045 Perform pipe welds to code standards using manual metal arc welding process
MEM05046 Perform welds to code standards using manual metal arc welding process
MEM05058 Perform welds to code standards using oxy fuel gas welding process.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
