Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of the percentage of reinforcement and hot compaction pressure on the density value of Aluminum Matrix Composite brake pads, reinforced with Boiler-Fly-Ash and silica sand. The Powder Metallurgy method was used in this study, with variations in the weight fraction of reinforcement being 6%, 10%, and 14%. Mixing of the matrix powder and reinforcement was performed using a Ball Mill Machine, with a Ball Powder weight Ratio of 10:1, within 6 hours of mechanical alloying at a speed of 90 rpm. The molding process used a hot compaction system in the form of a Hydraulic Jack machine with an upper press and a lower press, with a hot pressing temperature of 350 ºC, a holding time of 10 minutes, at a pressure variation of 5200 Psi, 5600 Psi, and 6000 Psi. The sintering process used a temperature of 600 ºC at a holding temperature of 10 minutes. The density test of the specimen uses the ASTM B962-17 standard with the Archimedes theory approach, while the hardness test uses the Brinnel Hardness, referring to ASTM E110-14.  The result, the highest average density value is 2.10 g/cm³ with a reinforcement percentage variation of 10%, while the lowest density value is 1.90 g/cm³ with a reinforcement percentage of 14%. The highest hardness value is 42.93 HB with a percentage of 10%, while the lowest hardness value is 41.4 HB with a reinforcement percentage of 14% compaction of 6000 Psi
