Course Description
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge you will require to construct burn-out patterns for cast metal framework; and devest, trim, treat, finish and evaluate alloy structures. The metal frameworks that you construct would be used in industry as the sub structure of a removable partial denture for a patient. The metal structures you fabricate are created from Cobalt Chrome and are incredibly strong, thus making them the perfect framework fro a denture.
