Abstract

The advancement of manufacturing technology has driven the need for innovation in metal surface protection, one of which is through the electroplating method. This process uses electric current to deposit a coating metal onto the surface of a base metal, aiming to improve corrosion resistance, hardness, and surface aesthetics. Electrical voltage is a key parameter that influences the quality of the resulting coating. This study aims to analyze the effect of electrical voltage on the thickness and gloss of electroplated metal coatings. This study employed an experimental approach consisting of a literature review, problem identification, preparation of tools and materials, testing, and data analysis. The main equipment and materials used in this research included ST37 material, a DC power supply with voltage variations of 3 V, 6 V, and 12 V, electrodes, and an electrolyte solution composed of nickel and chromium. Data were obtained by measuring the coating thickness using a Thickness Gauge and surface gloss using a Gloss Meter for each voltage variation. The results of this study indicate that the applied voltage significantly affects the thickness and glossiness of the electroplated coating. The highest values were obtained at 6 V, with an average coating thickness of 20.80 µm and a gloss value of 566 GU, indicating the formation of a smooth and highly reflective surface.

Abstract

ST41 steel is a low-carbon steel widely used in the industry due to its toughness, but it has low surface hardness, making it less suitable for components subject to friction. To enhance these surface properties, an electroplating process is performed using nickel as the base layer and chromium as the top layer. This study aims to analyze the effect of varying electroplating time on the thickness and hardness of the ST41 steel surface layer. The research method used was an experiment with variations in nickel coating time of 30 minutes, 45 minutes, and 60 minutes at a voltage of 3 V and a temperature of 55 °C. Chrome plating was carried out for 10 seconds at a voltage of 12 V. Layer thickness testing was conducted using a coating thickness gauge, while surface hardness testing was performed using the Vickers method according to ASTM E384 standards with a load of 50 gf. The research results show that the coating thickness increases with longer plating time, from 18.18 µm at 30 minutes to 20.79 µm at 60 minutes. The highest surface hardness value was obtained at a plating time of 45 minutes, reaching 490.4 HV, then decreased at 60 minutes. This indicates that a plating time of 45 minutes is the most optimal condition for producing a nickel–chrome electroplated layer with the highest surface hardness on ST41 steel.

Abstract

Waste management issues have become a national concern with serious impacts on social, economic, health, and environmental aspects. The low level of awareness among communities and industrial actors in managing waste has contributed to environmental pollution. Along with the development of cities and regions, the volume of waste including used lubricating oil from vehicles and motorized machinery continues to increase. Not only in large cities, but small workshops in rural areas also generate used oil waste, resulting in its widespread distribution across Indonesia. This study employed a field experimental method. The approach was conducted by testing fuel mixture compositions in a stove fueled by used oil to observe the effect of fuel composition on the combustion process. The results indicate that variations in fuel composition significantly affect combustion quality. In the mixture of used oil and kerosene, a ratio of 40:60 produced the highest flame temperature of 378°C, the fastest cooking time of 4.05 minutes, and a blue flame indicating more optimal combustion. In contrast, the 60:40 mixture resulted in the lowest temperature of 318°C, the longest cooking time of 5.07 minutes, and a predominantly orange flame. For the mixture of used oil and biodiesel (biosolar), the 40:60 ratio also demonstrated the best performance, achieving the highest flame temperature of 380°C, the fastest cooking time of 3.52 minutes, and a stable blue flame.
