Abstract

One of the welding used for different materials is by using friction welding. Friction welding is a welding method by swiping the two materials until they reach some of the melting points of the materials to be joined and then subjected to constant pressure. In this study, the materials to be joined were aluminum and copper. By using variations of rotational speed and contact surface roughness, the mechanical properties of the welds were investigated. The speed variations used were 1230, 1500, and 2500 rpm. Meanwhile, for variations in surface roughness, sandpaper grades 100, 800, and 1500 were used. The results of this study were that at a rotational speed of 1230 rpm, the highest tensile strength and hardness values were obtained, namely 59.6 MPa and 54.6 HVN (Al), 112.1 HVN (Cu). For variations in surface roughness, the highest hardness value was found in surface roughness using sandpaper grade 1500, namely 54.18HVN (Al), and 112.1HVN (Cu). And the highest tensile strength is obtained on grade 100 sandpaper with a value of 52.48MPa. The results of the microstructure test in the weld joint area with a magnification of 1000x showed that the welding of aluminum and copper using the friction welding method was successful, as evidenced by the diffusion of aluminum and copper in this area.

Abstract

In an increasingly competitive industrial environment, effective maintenance strategies are critical to ensure optimal machine performance and minimize downtime. This report focuses on the implementation of preventive maintenance in the cold saw area at PT. KBK, a steel production company. Preventive maintenance procedures were carried out to sustain machine reliability, particularly focusing on components such as the roll table, bolt coupling motor translation, sliding rails, and hydraulic motors. The report outlines the preventive maintenance schedule, inspection processes, and key findings during the maintenance period. The most frequently encountered issue was the deterioration of the saw blade, affecting cutting quality and operational efficiency. Contributing factors to these issues include human error, material hardness, improper maintenance methods, and machine age. A fishbone diagram analysis was used to determine root causes of failures, highlighting areas for improvement in maintenance practices. The study concludes that consistent preventive maintenance is essential to reduce machine failures, enhance productivity, and improve product quality. Recommendations are provided to enhance the maintenance process, including increased use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and more stringent inspection protocols.

Abstract

Material engineering technology every year always makes new breakthroughs in creating high-quality materials and have an adequate contribution. Natural fiber reinforced composite material is one of the materials currently used as fillers in composite products. Composite with natural income also has a variety of advantages offered, namely low prices and abundant availability. This study discusses the fraction of fiber volume and fiber length on the tensile strength and impact of fiber reinforced silk fibers (Samia chynthia rucini). In this study the volume fractions of fiber used were 10%, 15% and 20% with a fiber length of 10 mm and 50 mm using an epoxy resin matrix. From the composite tensile test results prove the increase in tensile strength obtained increases the volume of silk fiber in the composite. 20% with a fiber length of 10 mm is 6.859 MPa, while the lowest tensile strength value in composites with a fiber volume fraction of 0% is 1.653 MPa. The impact test shows the strength of 10% fiber volume fraction composite with 10 mm fiber length that is 0.54535 J/mm2, while the lowest impact strength value is 0% fiber volume fraction composite that is 0.50686 J/mm2.

Abstract

Oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) as a by-product of the palm oil processing industry. This waste can cause problems for the environment and human health. Utilization of OPEFB waste as particle board material to reduce this waste. The composition of the particle board is based on volume fraction, namely 15% empty palm fruit fiber, 15% epoxy resin, 20% PVAc adessive, and 50% sawdust. The manufacturing process of samples was carried out using the single punch cold press method with compaction pressure of 10, 30, and 50 bar. The experimental results show that a compacting pressure of 10 bar can produce particle board performance according to SNI 03-2105-2006 with a characteristic density of 0.93 gram/cm3, thickness swelling of 2.52%, hardness of 24 N/mm2, flexural strength of 840.05 N/mm2, and impact strength 6.00 kJ/m2.

Abstract

The exploration of natural resources as materials for engineering applications is increasingly important, as organic materials offer greater environmental benefits. The Maja fruit, a typical Indonesian plant, has not been fully utilized for engineering purposes, particularly its shells. The goal of utilizing this material is to contribute to sustainable development. In this study, Maja fruit particles were used as a filler in combination with rice husk ash. The particle compositions of Maja fruit were set at 20%, 30%, and 40%, respectively. The composite fabrication process was conducted under cold conditions at a pressure of 30 MPa. The results indicated that an increase in the composition of Maja fruit shell particles led to higher compressive strength in the composite, although this caused a decrease in surface hardness. The optimal composite performance was achieved with a composition of 40% Maja fruit shell particles and 60% epoxy resin, as determined by a weighting method. It was also observed that while the inclusion of rice husk ash tended to reduce compressive strength, it contributed to enhancing the hardness of the composite.

Abstract

Stress concentrations cause many machine element failures. Failure will occur more rapidly if the machine elements obtain repeated and fluctuating loading. For this reason, the material for machine elements must have better fatigue life. There are various attempts made to increase material life and other mechanical properties. In this study, the research sample used is AISI 4140 steel. The samples obtain hardening followed by cooling and tempering. The hardening temperature is 8500C with a holding time of 17 minutes. The cooling media in this research are dry sand, semi-wet sand, and wet sand. Wet measurements based on volumetric ratios. Semi-wet sand with a ratio of sand and water 4: 1, sandy sand 4: 2. The final process is tempering treatment, with a temperature of 2500C. The material fatigue test refers to the JIS Z 2274 Standard. From this study, the heat treatment given can reduce the fatigue life of the material, even though the hardness increases. The higher the cooling rate, the hardness of the material increases, but the fatigue life is low.
