The rod getting lighter

Removing the sharp edges and burrs left after cutting and drilling

Painting the surface

Bending it to shape

Heating it to join it

To make it magnetic and softer

To increase its weight and density

To make it conduct electricity and heat

To protect it from corrosion and wear, and to improve its appearance

It is too light

It is a non-ferrous metal

It is a ferrous metal that rusts if left bare

It is already plated

So the paint grips a clean, keyed surface instead of flaking off

To make the steel non-ferrous

A question paper and a project

Two practical activities

Continuous coursework only

One practical activity worth 80 marks (100%), including a 10-mark case study

Another student marks it

The teacher or lecturer assesses it and Qualifications Scotland (formerly the SQA) verifies it

It is not checked

Only the candidate marks it
