Abstract

Abstract: This This study aims to explore the process of designing a catch pot to collect excess resin, which previously lacked a cover in the vacuum infusion method used for carbon fiber production, thereby complicating maintenance procedures. The research method employed is Research and Development (R&D), which ensures that the developed tool is both innovative and functional. The R&D process includes stages of design, fabrication, and functional testing. The resulting catch pot measures 20 cm × 20 cm × 20 cm and features a cover equipped with a pressure gauge and a 19 cm metal support to prevent deformation. To ensure a secure seal, silicone sealant and two locking clamps are added on each side of the lid. Two holes with a diameter of 16 mm were created to mount nipples on both sides of the catch pot, connecting to pneumatic hoses sized 10 × 6.5 mm. The catch pot is capable of reaching a vacuum pressure of up to -0.94 bar. Experimental testing using a mud guard specimen showed that the original mud guard weighed 50 grams, while the carbon fiber version produced three times resulted in a lighter average weight of 33 grams, or 33.33% less. These results indicate that the developed catch pot improves the efficiency and maintainability of the vacuum infusion process for carbon fiber fabrication.

Abstract

ST37 low-carbon steel is widely used in construction and decorative applications such as house window grilles due to its good mechanical properties, ease of fabrication, and cost-effectiveness. However, this material has a major drawback in the form of low corrosion resistance, especially in open environments that are humid and contain chloride ions. One effort to improve the corrosion resistance of ST37 steel is through the chromium electroplating process. This study aims to analyze the effect of variations in chromium plating time on coating thickness and the corrosion rate of ST37 steel. The electroplating process was carried out using a chromium-based electrolyte solution with a constant voltage of 12 volts and plating time variations of 25, 35, and 45 minutes. The coating thickness was measured using a thickness gauge, while the corrosion rate testing was conducted using the Linear Polarization Resistance (LPR) method in accordance with ASTM G59 standards. The parameters analyzed included mass loss, polarization resistance, and corrosion rate in mm/year. The results showed that variations in plating time affect the coating thickness and corrosion rate of ST37 steel. The coating with a plating time of 35 minutes produced the lowest corrosion rate of 0.0099 mm/year, indicating higher corrosion resistance compared to the 25- and 45-minute variations. The 25-minute plating provided moderate protection, while the 45-minute plating showed a tendency toward increased corrosion rate due to the possible formation of micro-defects in the coating.

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

Sand This study aims to analyze the effect of drying methods on drying time and gloss results during the painting process using a multifunction spray booth. Three drying methods tested were natural drying, forced air drying, and drying with a light bulb. The sample used was galvanized iron plates painted with Pilox spray paint and clear coat, then dried according to the applied method. Drying time was measured using a stopwatch, while gloss was tested using a gloss meter. The results showed that the light bulb method performed the best, with the highest gloss at all drying times tested. At drying times of 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes, the light bulb method produced 97.5 GU, 97.1 GU, and 96.9 GU, respectively. Forced air drying produced a gloss of 85.5 GU at 5 minutes, 87.7 GU at 10 minutes, and 88.9 GU at 15 minutes. Although its drying time was shorter than natural drying, the gloss produced was lower. Natural drying required a longer time of 15.42 minutes, with gloss results of 75.5 GU at 5 minutes, 78.9 GU at 10 minutes, and 85.7 GU at 15 minutes. From these results, it can be concluded that drying with the light bulb method is the best method in terms of both drying time and gloss quality, making it highly suitable for application in both industrial and small workshop scales.
