Abstract

Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coatings are well-regarded for their high hardness, low friction coefficient, and excellent wear resistance, making them suitable for enhancing surface properties in demanding industrial applications. This study aims to analyze the effect of DLC coating on HQ 805 steel, focusing on improvements in surface hardness and surface roughness. HQ 805 steel, which is known for its mechanical durability, was coated using the Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) method to achieve a uniform and adherent thin film. Hardness was evaluated using the Vickers microhardness test, while surface roughness was measured with a profilometer. Results showed a significant increase in surface hardness, with the coated samples achieving up to 798 VHN. It represented a 25–30% increase compared to the uncoated steel at 355 VHN. Surface roughness exhibited only a slight increase (5–7% Ra), indicating the thin layer and uniform deposition achieved with DLC without adversely affecting the surface finish. These results confirm that PVD-applied DLC coatings can effectively enhance the mechanical surface performance of HQ 805 steel without compromising surface quality. The optimal coating condition was found at 400°C for 4 hours. This research shows the potential application of DLC-coated HQ 805 steel in high-wear industrial environments extending component service life and improving operational efficiency.

Abstract

The refrigeration system in the fishing process is important for maintaining the quality of the catch. However, the design of small-scale refrigeration machines is still not common, so it is an interesting study. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the design of small-scale fishing vessel refrigeration machines. Field studies are needed in machine manufacturing to observe the components required to match the refrigeration machine components onboard fishing vessels. This uses a direct observation method to determine the components of the refrigeration machine on the ship. Furthermore, the performance of the machines produced will be tested through the load cooling process. Parameters determined in the performance test include monitoring temperature (suction and discharge), pressure (suction and discharge), evaporator temperature, load temperature, COP (Coefficient of Performance), and compressor power. Refrigerant temperature measurement uses an insulative principle so that ambient temperature does not affect it. The result is that the machine produced has a capacity of 35 l or 15 kg of load. Meanwhile, in the performance test, the COP and electrical power generated while cooling the load for approximately 4 hours were 2,42 and 507 W, respectively. The results of this design were successful and did not experience failure. The significanceof this study can be used as a reference source for making cooling machines for storing the catch of small-scale fishermen.
