Downloaded from hlayiso.com Mechanical Technology 3 DBE/PAT 2018 NSC 1. INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND The 16 Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements subjects which contain a practical component all include a practical assessment task (PAT). These subjects are: • AGRICULTURE: Agricultural Management Practices, Agricultural Technology • ARTS: Dance Studies, Design, Dramatic Arts, Music, Visual Arts • MBW: Life Orientation • SCIENCES: Computer Applications Technology, Information Technology • SERVICES: Consumer Studies, Hospitality Studies, Tourism • TECHNOLOGY: MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY, Civil Technology, Electrical Technology, and Engineering Graphics and Design. A PAT allows the teacher to directly and systematically observe applied competence. The PAT comprises the application/performance of the knowledge, skills and values particular to that subject and counts 25% of the total promotion/certification mark out of 400 for the subject. The PAT is implemented across the first three terms of the school year. Any profession requires of its members a thorough grounding in both theory and practice and MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY is no exception. It is emphasised that the goal of the practical assessment task is to produce a skilled learner in each specialisation field. A nation's true wealth is in its manpower and education that should aim to develop the talents of learners so that they can contribute to the well-being of the society by using and developing scientific and technological resources. To prepare a learner in MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY'S specialisation fields, one must focus on the following: • An attitude where the learner can selectively use ideas, gather evidence and facts, to drawing logical conclusions to put them to good use creatively and with imagination • A capability to express ideas and information clearly by speech, writing, sketching or drawing • A willingness and capability to accept and exercise responsibility, to make decisions, and to learn by experience Attributes such as these cannot all be achieved in a classroom. A sound knowledge of engineering sciences is essential to equip the MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY learner with the necessary practical capabilities for the required processes. Practical training is the application of acquiring essential skills to bridge between trade theory and practice. Practical application in the workshop must therefore be made an interesting and challenging experience to develop learners physically and mentally. Learners must show their initiative, curiosity and persistence in learning. Giving some degree of responsibility during practical application is very important as a stimulus and to develop self-confidence. Copyright reserved Please turn over

TEACHER GUIDELINES 2.1 Administration of the PAT Teachers are requested to make copies of the different specialisation PAT documents. These documents need to be handed out to the learners at the beginning of the year. The practical assessment task for Grade 12 is externally set, internally assessed and externally moderated. Teachers must attach due dates for the different facets of the PAT (refer to the CAPS document). In this way learners can easily assess their progress. Where formal assessments take place it is the responsibility of the teacher to administer assessment. The PAT should be completed within the first three terms. The PAT should be completed under controlled conditions (refer to the Mechanical Technology SPECIALISATION CAPS Grades 10–12). 2.2 Assessment of the PAT Frequent and developmental feedback is needed to ensure necessary guidance and support to the learner. Both formal and informal assessment should be conducted to ensure that the embedded skills are developed. Informal assessment can be conducted only to monitor progress of the learner. Formal assessment should always be conducted by the teacher and must be recorded. 2.3 Moderation of the PAT The tasks, projects, assessment criteria and the marks obtained must be presented to the moderator during moderation of the PAT. The moderator should be able to call on a learner to explain and demonstrate the functions, principles and skills during the moderation purposes. On completion the moderator will, if necessary, adjust the marks of the group upwards or downwards depending on the decision reached as a result of moderation. 2.4 Absence/Non-submission of tasks If a learner's practical assessment task is incomplete or unavailable for a valid reason, the learner will be given three weeks before the commencement of the final end-of-year examinations to submit the outstanding task. Should a learner fail to fulfil the outstanding PAT requirement such a learner will be awarded a zero (0) for that PAT component. A learner's results are regarded as incomplete if he/she does not offer any component of the PAT task. He/She will be given another opportunity based on the decision of the Head of the Assessment Body. Should the learner fail to fulfil the outstanding PAT requirement, the marks for these components will be omitted and the final mark for Mechanical Technology will be adjusted for promotion purposes in terms of the completed tasks.

LEARNER GUIDELINES Instructions to the learner • The practical assessment task (PAT) consists of a specialisation task in FITTING AND MACHINING, AUTOMOTIVE AND WELDING AND METALWORK. The practical work is spread over three terms, as set out in each of the specialisation areas (see CAPS document). • All tasks must be completed according to the time frames set out in each of the tasks. • Learners are requested to actively engage in all practical assessment tasks. • Learners who are un-cooperative will receive demerits or a zero mark allocation for that particular section of the work. • Learners who act unsafely in the workshop and place other learners in danger, will be given additional corrective tasks to improve their safety awareness.

TASK C1 (COMPULSORY) TASK C1: FORGING AND HEAT TREATMENT TO MANUFACTURE A COLD CHISEL 1. Drawing and dimensions: 1.1 Use the drawing in FIGURE C1.1 to fabricate a chisel and apply heat treatment according to specifications. 2. The following standards must be achieved: 2.1 All the sizes must be within ± 1 mm of the required measurements. 2.2 Tools and equipment must NOT be damaged. 2.3 All appropriate safety procedures must be adhered to. 2.4 The chisel must be hard enough to cut mild steel.

Heat the one end to a yellow colour and forge a taper for 12 mm. 4.3. Heat the other end and forge the slanted surfaces, as indicated in FIGURE C1.1. Forge SIX sides. 4.4. Forge the TWO remaining opposite sides parallel to each other, as shown. 4.5. Ensure that the chisel is straight with flat surfaces. Blacksmithing Tools #1 Hand Forging a Hot Cut Chisel (EN9 Steel) Blacksmithing for beginners: Forging and Heat Treating Carbon Steel - 3 5. Hardening: 5.1 Heat the chisel to a bright red colour and quench it in water. NOTE: Keep the chisel in an upright position when quenching, moving it up and down. This will prevent distortion. Also avoid pickled (salt) water to prevent rust. Hardening and Tempering a Chisel 6. Annealing: After hardening, the chisel is very brittle and may break easily when used. In order to avoid this, the following procedures are very important: 6.1 Heat till cherry red and place it in lime or river sand to cool off slowly. This is called annealing and removes all internal stress caused by forging. Annealing Process Most Widely Used Heat Treatment Process 7. Sharpening: 7.1 Sharpen the cutting edge to an included angle of 60°. 7.2 The chisel is now ready to be tempered. 8. Tempering: At this stage the chisel is still somewhat brittle and needs to be reheated to make it stronger (tougher) and also to ensure that the cutting edge does not break when used. NOTE: Clean the surface of the chisel with emery paper before reheating as it will be important to notice the colour change during tempering process. (See table for TEMPERING COLOURS.) 8.1. Heat the cutting edge (faint end) of the chisel to a blue-purple colour. 8.2. Allow the chisel to cool down in open air once the colour has been reached. Copyright reserved Please turn over
