Abstract

This research to determine the effect of the tensile load on the carburizing process and the heating temperature lower than the normal carburizing temperature on the hardness of carbon steel with a percentage of 80% buffalo bone charcoal and 20% BaCO3, 20 mesh grain size, 4 hours holding time, and slow cooling with a tensile load of 1/4σp 1/2σp 3/4σp, and σp (proportional stress). The heating temperatures below normal carburizing temperatures, namely 6000C, 6500C, 7000C, and 7500C while being pulled by 1/4σp, 1/2σp, 3/4σp, and σp. After reaching the heating temperature, the material is held in the furnace for 4 hours and cooled slowly. After the material is cold, mechanical testing is carried out with Vickers microhardness. Hardness value at a temperature of 6000C is 103.93 HRB, at a temperature of 6500C is 104.33 HRB, at a temperature of 7000C is 104.80 HRB, and at a temperature of 7500C is 106.60 HRB, while the process of pack carburizing without tensile at a heating temperature of 8000C is 105.2 HRB. This proves that the application of loads at lower heating temperatures during the heating process can exceed the hardness value without tensile loads at higher temperatures of 8000 C.

Abstract

In this study, evaluating the erosion-corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, especially the bending strength of aluminum alloy A383 with the addition of 4%, 6%, and 9% magnesium was investigated with variations in velocity (45l/h, 60l/h, and 75l/h). and angle variations (30º, 40º, and 50º) using 12% sodium hypochlorite solution. The test equipment used is an injection diaphragm pump in the recirculation system for 4 hours per sample. The results showed that the erosion-corrosion resistance of A383 alloy is proportional with the increase of magnesium addition to the alloy maximum weight loss occurs at an impact angle of 30° with a velocity of 75 l/h. The degradation decreased slightly with increasing the impact angle and decreasing velocity. Analysis of the erosion-corrosion mechanism shows that the corrosion process dominates material damage rather than erosion. The results of the bending test showed that the highest strength was A383 9% Mg which was 366.09 MPa, and the lowest bending strength was A383 material without magnesium addition which was 261.80 MPa. From these results, it can be concluded that the addition of magnesium (Mg) to aluminum alloy A383 contributes to increased corrosion resistance and increased bending strength.

Abstract

The manufacture of Al/SiC alloy matrix composites has been widely carried out by researchers through powder metallurgy techniques. Bushings are slit cylindrical type bearings that serve to support the shaft. Bushings can be made by powder metallurgy, to get the perfect compaction process, compaction can be done by high temperature or Hot Pressing. A hot press will make the powder softer/plastic, making it easier during the perfect compaction process. For this reason, heating must be controlled in order to obtain a homogeneous product. Al/SiC metal matrix composites are alloyed materials of different types of materials, as matrices in this case are aluminum and as reinforcement are SiC particles (ceramics) made by powder metallurgy techniques. In this study, the Al/SiC composite composed of 70% Al - 30% SiC and Hot Pressing temperature variations of 100, 150 and 200°C with a pressure of 5000 kg and a holding time of 10 minutes. In the sintering process, the temperature used is 450, 500 and 550°C with a holding time of 2 hours. The results of this study show, in hardness testing it is known that the value of bushing hardness increases as the temperature of Hot Pressing increases.

Abstract

Abstract ASTM A36 low carbon steel is steel commonly used in construction, and the austenitic stainless steel 316L series is stainless steel with good corrosion resistance. Joining two dissimilar metals is unavoidable because it can provide good mechanical properties and resist corrosion at a low cost. This study studied the effect of variations in post-welding heating process temperature (PWHT) on mechanical properties and microstructure by shield metal arc welding (SMAW) low carbon steel ASTM A36 with ASTM A240 type 316L with a thickness of 6 mm with a single V connection and using an E308L-electrode. 16. The PWHT process was carried out to improve the weld results with variations in heating temperatures of 400, 600, and 900˚C with a holding time of 1 hour with 15% dromos quenching media. Testing mechanical properties includes hardness test using micro Vickers method on low carbon steel base metal, HAZ, weld metal, HAZ, and stainless steel base metal and impact test using Charpy method. Optical microscopes were used to study the microstructure of the area of the base metal, HAZ, and weld metal viewed using a laser scanning microscope. The test results show that the highest average hardness value in the weld metal area is in the specimen without PWHT with a value of 124.96 HV and samples with a PWHT temperature of 400˚C on the weld metal 121.63 HV and the lowest in the PWHT specimen 900˚C 76.17 HV. in the HAZ 316L area. The hardness value of the weld metal without PWHT and PWHT indicates that the hardness value is higher than the two-parent metals. While the impact test with PWHT specimens at 400˚C had higher impact energy than specimens without PWHT by 6.50 %, and the lowest was 16.26% at the optimum temperature of 900˚C, the shape of the samples showed ductile cracks.
