What an assessment for MEM04002 must cover

44 assessable components: 5 elements (23 performance criteria), 9 performance evidence and 12 knowledge evidence requirements. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Determine job requirements

1.1Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs)
1.2Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times
1.3Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and apparatus in accordance with SOPs
1.4Identify job requirements from specifications, job sheets or work instructions

2 Prepare equipment

2.1Mix die coat in correct proportion in accordance with SOPs
2.2Lift and maintain die temperatures at the appropriate level
2.3Apply die coat in the correct sequence
2.4Locate and close die
2.5Place die on machine and attach and tighten toggle clamps to required torque
2.6Attach air cooling to the die as specified if required

3 Carry out manual pouring

3.1Undertake pour in a manner which reduces porosity and lamination
3.2Identify conditions that contribute to inferior castings or rejects
3.3Allow adequate cooling time
3.4Pour at a continuous and appropriate rate during filling
3.5Monitor condition of die coating condition and re-spray as required

4 Remove materials

4.1Remove parts in a manner that minimises damage
4.2Remove any flash from the die surface
4.3Store parts in a manner that minimises damage

5 Clean die

5.1Operate shot blaster according to procedures
5.2Take chemical analysis of melt and apply remedial action as required
5.3Dross and/or degas furnace
5.4Clean work area of coating and shot residue
5.5Complete reports/records in accordance with SOPs

Performance evidence

following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
identifying and interpreting specifications and other applicable reference documents for gravity die casting operation
preparing equipment for gravity die casting, including: mixing and applying die coat in correct proportion and sequence; lifting and maintaining die temperatures at the correct level; locating, placing securing die on machine and attaching air cooling if required
carrying out manual pouring in a continuous and appropriate rate that reduces porosity and lamination, avoiding conditions that can contribute to inferior castings or rejects
removing and storing components and removing any flash from the die surface
cleaning die using a shot blaster in a safe manner
taking chemical analysis of melt and applying remedial action as required
drossing and/or degassing furnace to SOPs
completing records as required

Knowledge evidence

die coat function(s) in gravity die casting
correct proportions and consistency of die coats as determined by manufacturers’ specifications
correct identification of die coat materials
procedures for raising the temperature of the die to the correct level and maintaining the required temperature in accordance with SOPs
procedures to be followed when pouring molten metal to produce sound castings
causes of defects in castings

Questions about assessing MEM04002

What does an assessment tool for MEM04002 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM04002 needs to address all 44 unit components: 5 elements with 23 performance criteria, 9 performance evidence requirements, 12 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for MEM04002?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM04002 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for MEM04002 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM04002 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of MEM04002, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
