Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to prepare and weld components using the manual metal arc welding (MMAW) process. It involves preparing for the task, selecting, setting up and operating MMAW equipment, identifying and selecting welding electrodes appropriate to welding requirements, selecting and using suitable personal protective equipment (PPE), performing welding to required standard and specifications, inspecting weld quality, and completing workplace processes and documentation.It applies to those working in the automotive service and repair industry.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
