Abstract

Tungsten inert gas (TIG) and Metal inert gas (MIG) welding have been used to join varying materials; however, shielded metal arc Welding (SMAW) is rarely used for aluminum. This study aims to investigate the weld quality by using three welding methods for joining aluminum 6061-T6. The Welding process was carried out using a welding machine combination with an AWS electrode: E4043, filler consisting of ER 4043 0.8 and ER 4043. Defect inspection was performed using Dye Penetrant Check, Vickers hardness test, and tensile strength were carried out at room temperature. Visual observation of the microstructure at the weld and heat-affected zone (HAZ) areas with 200x magnification by using an optical microscope. The result shows more defects formed with SMAW in comparison with the TIG and MIG methods. The highest hardness, 63.8 HV, was achieved at the HAZ area, and a tensile strength of 195.4 MPa was obtained using the MIG technique. Microstructural observations reveal that the transformation in the HAZ area resulted in flat and coarse-grained structures.

Abstract

In the Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) process, electrode materials require high electrical conductivity and sufficient mechanical strength. These electrodes can be fabricated by the Powder Metallurgy (PM) technique from copper-based alloys. The electrode strength can be improved by adding refractory materials through a properly selected warm compaction parameter, such as temperature and pressure compaction. The study focused on analyzing microstructural changes, compressive strength, hardness, and electrical behavior of the alloy. High-purity (Cu, Ni, W) elements were synthesized by warm compaction with different penetration loads and temperatures to produce CuNi5W alloys. The physical, mechanical, and electrical testing were carried out at room temperature. The results indicate that incorporating tungsten (W) into Cu-Ni-based alloys, combined with higher compaction temperatures and pressures during warm compaction, leads to an improvement in density, hardness, and electrical conductivity. The optimum values for these properties were achieved in the Cu-Ni-W-based alloy compacted at 250°C and 250 MPa. The CuNi5W alloys exhibited a microstructure characterized by a solid solution matrix in which tungsten particles were evenly distributed, playing a key role in enhancing the hardness of the model CuNi5W-based alloy.

Abstract

Paduan berbasis Cu banyak digunakan sebagai komponen kelistrikan seperti elektroda. Terdapat beberapa komponen yang dioperasikan pada lingkungan temperatur tinggi, kondisi ini menyebabkan terjadinya penurunan kekuatan paduan logam yang pada akhirnya menyebabkan kegagalan pada komponen tersebut. Permasalahan ini dapat diminimalisir melalui usaha peningkatan kekuatan tanpa mengabaikan penurunan konduktivitas listrik paduan berbaasis Cu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh rasio komposisi Cu/Ni dan temperatur sintering terhadap sifat mekanis dan konduktivitas listrik paduan Cu-Ni-5 wt.%W. Sintesis model paduan Cu-Ni-W dilakukan menggunakan teknik metalurgi serbuk menggunakan serbuk dengan kemurnian tinggi. Proses pencampuran serbuk menggunakan horizontal milling, dilanjutkan kompaksi pada temperatur ruang untuk mendapatkan green material diikuti proses sintering pada temperatur 770-870oC. Bulk material yang diperoleh dari proses sintering dilakukan karakterisasi dengan berbagai cara diantaranya pengujian kekerasan Vickers, tekan, konduktivitas listrik, dan observasi mikrostruktur. Hasil penelitian diperoleh  peningkatan rasio Cu/Ni dan temperatur sintering cenderung meningkatkan sifat mekanis, namun penambahan Ni hingga 30 wt.% menyebabkan penurunan konduktivitas listrik.
