Abstract

The hook component in automatic packaging machines frequently experiences premature failure, leading to increased downtime, higher maintenance costs, and reduced production efficiency. This study aims to identify the failure mechanism of the hook through visual inspection, maintenance data analysis, and material characterization. Visual examination was conducted on broken hook specimens to identify fracture morphology and surface characteristics. Historical maintenance records from 2017 to 2024 were analyzed to identify the frequency and type of failure. Chemical composition testing was performed using Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES), while Rockwell hardness testing (HRC) evaluated the material’s mechanical properties. The results revealed that the failure mode was categorized as brittle fracture, indicated by flat and granular fracture surfaces without plastic deformation. The main failure factor was the direct impact between the hook and the punch, caused by misalignment due to bearing wear. The material, classified as medium carbon steel with 0.599 wt.% C and 1.000 wt.% Mn, exhibited high hardness but low toughness, leading to a brittle fracture under impact loading. Surface hardening combined with light tempering and shot peening is recommended to improve wear resistance and toughness, thereby reducing the risk of brittle fracture.

Abstract

Produk water cooling magnetron yang berfungsi sebagai pendingin pada elemen panas mengalami kebocoran saat diaplikasikan dengan cara dialirkan cairan pendingin bertekanan tinggi. Masalah tersebut disebabkan karena terdapat cacat porositas pada produk, cacat porositas dapat disebabkan karena tingginya temperatur tuang pada cairan logam. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui bagaimana pengaruh temperatur tuang pada peleburan aluminium terhadap cacat porositas, kekerasan dan metalografi. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan membuat benda cor pada peleburan aluminium dengan variasi temperatur tuang 680oC dan 715°C. Proses pengujian yang dilakukan adalah presentase cacat porositas dengan menghitung presentase porositas, perhitungan densitas teoritis dan densitas actual. Pengujian lain yang dilakukan adalah uji kekerasan dan uji metalografi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa temperatur tuang berpengaruh terhadap presentase porositas, kekerasan dan metalografi. Temperatur tuang 680oC menghasilkan presentase porositas 1,18%, kekerasan 44,98 HRB dan struktur mikro dengan fase Al, fase Si dan fase AlSiCu sedangkan untuk temperature tuang 715°C menghasilkan presentase porositas 1,84%, kekerasan 46,93 HRB dan struktur mikro dengan penyebaran butir yang cukup seragam dibandingkan pada temperatur 680°C.
