Abstract

Of many manufacturing processes, sand casting is one of the most widely used since there is no size limit of the workpiece. Big size product can be carried out at an affordable cost. In its process, sand casting comprises interconnected and complex series. If some of the processes are not properly carried out e.g. during solidification, will result in defects in the casting products. Simulation is an important method currently since it can model the entire metal casting process and show the dynamic character of the casting scheme. In this study, CAD is used for a 3D design on casting simulation. In this study, the grain size of molded sand, material quality and other process parameters were considered identical to all design schemes. This study aims to investigate the effect of varied design and dimensions of the gating system. It was found in this study that porosity and improper solidification were related to the improper gating and riser design.

Abstract

Adhesion and corrosion protection are the main properties of epoxy coatings, especially when applied to materials exposed to harsh environments, such as chloride-containing water. However, the adhesion and corrosion protection of coatings are affected by surface preparation, especially the cleanliness of the substrate surface prior to coating application. Choosing the proper surface preparation can optimize the coating's capabilities. This research aims to evaluate the Effect of blasting process cleanliness on coating performance on the steel surface. The novel approach is to correlate NACE surface cleanliness standards with coating performance. In this study, A36 steel is used. The cleaning procedure uses an air-blasting process with an 8-bar nozzle pressure and at least 5 minutes of spraying time to meet the desired National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) standard. The abrasive utilizing garnet with a mesh of 30-40. Meanwhile, coating is performed at room temperature using the airless spray method with a 90° angle, a distance of 25 cm from the substrate and the nozzle, and a nozzle speed of 300 mm/s. The gap in the coating process between the first and second layers is 24 hours. The results showed that surface preparation influenced the coating's pullout strength and corrosion performance. The pullout strength test demonstrated that NACE 2 provided the highest pullout strength. Likewise, corrosion rate testing showed that surface preparation affects the corrosion rate, with NACE 1 providing the lowest corrosion rate (the best corrosion protection).

Abstract

This study search at the the hardness of 7075 Aluminum alloy processed in EDM machining by varying pulse-on time and pulse-off time. This study uses an Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) of C-TEK ZNC 320 Series and the specimens is tested for hardness by a Rockwell Hardness Tester. The material used is Aluminum 7075. EDM is chosen as because it does not require deformation force to perform machining process and suitable for machining of materials that are elastic, easy to form and have high thermal conductivity such as aluminum 7075. The electrode used is copper (Cu) with a diameter of 25.4 mm and a length of 50 mm. The process parameters used are pulse-on time: 50 μs, 75 μs, 100 μs and pulse-off time: 4 μs, 6 μs, 9 μs. The data are consisted of 9 specimens (cells). The results of the average hardness measurements from experiments 1 and 9 are: 28.03 HBR, and 50.80 HBR. Analysis of variance (Anova) shows the calculated F value is 71.55, the
