Abstract

An assessment of the fractured bolt of a cooking oil filter machine was performed. The objective of this assessment is to reveal the root cause of the failure. A series of necessary attempts were carried out for this analysis, i.e., site visit, fracture surface examination of the fractured bolt, collecting the maintenance and operation data, mechanical properties testing, chemical composition testing, and stress analysis. The fracture surface examination showed a catastrophic failure, especially at a repaired bolt. Meanwhile, according to the site visit investigation, some evident data indicated a sudden high-pressure load subjected to the filter machine. Most fractured filter bolts were repaired by welding. The design review shows that the critical operating pressure is around 14.5 bar, which is far above the reported operating pressure during the accident, which is 6 bar. This indicated that the strength of the genuine bolt is sufficient to ensure the operating pressure of the filter machine, which is normally 1 to 3.5 bar. Finally, it can be concluded that the root cause of the failure of the filter machine bolt is decreasing strength of the bolts because of improper repairment indicated by the welding process and assisted by sudden high load due to increasing pressure inside the filter vessel.

Abstract

The design and analysis of welded joints are very useful for the safety of steel-based structures. The effect of welded joints meeting at one point on the resulting stress is a critical factor in constructing steel joints. The main objective of this research is to analyze the mechanical performance and microstructure of the welding process on diamond and circular plate joints. The analysis was carried out through experiments and finite element simulations to find out how much influence the addition of a diamond plate and circular plate had on the plate connection. The method used is to analyze the strength, hardness, and micro and macrostructure testing to determine the strength and structural changes of the metal after welding. The results of the test are then used to create an inhomogeneous model of weld joint, then the model is applied to the FEA software to be analyzed by the bending test simulation. The experimentally bending testing was carried out to examine bending performance of the test objects. From the simulation and experimental results, it is found that the shape of a circular plate measuring a diameter of 60 mm with a thickness of 6 mm is appropriate for a flat plate joint, and the flat-diamond plate measuring 60x60 mm with a thickness of 6 mm is proper for application to un-flat (cornered) plate joints. The structural integrity of a flat plate joint with a circular plate is greater than that of a diamond plate.
