Abstract

In the automotive industry, especially in labor-intensive industries such as PT XYZ which produces all components independently, the black oxide coating process is often applied to improve corrosion resistance, especially on AISI 4340 steel. However, this process has the potential to cause hydrogen embrittlement phenomena due to immersion in chemical solutions. One method to overcome this problem is the dehydrogenation (baking) process, which is thermal heating to remove hydrogen and restore the mechanical properties of the material. This study aims to analyze the effect of black oxide coating without dehydrogenation process and variation of dehydrogenation holding time on mechanical properties of AISI 4340 steel, including tensile strength, hardness, and oxalic acid drop test. The dehydrogenation process variation consists of specimens without dehydrogenation, as well as specimens with dehydrogenation process for 3 hours and 4 hours at 190±14°C. The test results show that the increase in dehydrogenation holding time is directly proportional to the increase in tensile strength and hardness of the material. The percentage increase in tensile strength between the 3-hour and 4-hour specimens reached 2.64%, while the increase in hardness was 3.96%. Specimens without dehydrogenation process showed lower tensile strength and hardness values.

Abstract

Blackening, also known as Black Oxide coating, is a conversion coating method that forms a black oxide layer on the surface of steel used in industry to enhance corrosion resistance, aesthetics, and mechanical properties. This study aims to determine the effect of coating times (blackening) of 10 minutes, 30 minutes, and 60 minutes at a temperature of 140 °C on the corrosion resistance, tensile strength, and coating thickness of AISI 4340 steel. The results showed that the variations succeeded in forming a uniform black layer that adhered well to the surface, while good corrosion resistance was obtained at 30 minutes. The thickness of the layer formed was directly proportional to the coating time, increasing from 13.06 µm at 10 minutes to 18.55 µm at 60 minutes. In contrast, the tensile strength showed a different trend of results at 10 minutes, reaching the highest tensile strength of 1684 MPa; however, the tensile strength decreased at 30 minutes and 60 minutes. This decrease in tensile strength value was due to the number of hydrogen atoms formed during the dehydrogenation process. These atoms diffuse and become more entrapped in the steel's atomic structure with longer plating times. This difference in duration results in the dehydrogenation process having different rates of complete removal of trapped hydrogen atoms at each time interval, resulting in a decrease in tensile strength.
