Abstract

This study aims to determine the changes in microstructure and the increase in hardness of low-carbon steel (ST 37) through the pack carburizing process. The method used involves utilizing charcoal derived from candlenut shells as a carbon source and ale-ale shell powder as a catalyst. The experiment was conducted using 10 steel specimens, where 9 specimens underwent pack carburizing treatment with variations in catalyst composition (10%, 20%, and 30% CaCO₃) at a temperature of 900°C with a holding time of 2 hours, followed by a quenching process using 40% saltwater. The results of the study indicate that the pack carburizing treatment successfully increased the surface hardness of the steel significantly and caused a microstructural transformation from ferrite-pearlite in the initial material to martensitic structure on the carburized surface. These findings suggest the potential use of natural materials as an environmentally friendly alternative for carbon media and catalysts to enhance the mechanical properties of low-carbon steel.

Abstract

. This is evidenced by the large use of steel in various machine components, work materials and building construction, both in the form of plates, sheets, pipes and so on. Damage that often occurs in the application of ST 41 steel is wear. Wear occurs due to the influence of external forces in the form of friction and is the most dominant factor in damage to the function of machinery. As a result, the service life and performance of various machine components are reduced and indirectly will increase maintenance costs. The public demand for this metal hardening technology is increasing, so researchers have tried to apply knowledge about metal hardening to knives with low carbon steel materials. Heat treatment aims to increase ductility.. This study shows that Heat Treatment with different temperatures and different cooling media can significantly affect the hardness of low carbon steel. The results of the study showed that the highest hardness of low carbon steel was obtained at a temperature of 950°C with oil cooling media, which was 44.30 HRC.
