Abstract

Science and technology, including aerodynamics, are constantly advancing. Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University has a wind tunnel in its Renewable Energy Engineering Lab but lacks equipment to measure drag and lift forces. To address this, researchers developed a measurement tool. This study involved a literature review, design, and experimental testing, including calibration to determine gauge R&R values and performance testing with the NACA S1046 airfoil. Calibration results showed standard deviations of 0.25 for drag force and 0.8 for lift force. Gauge R&R values were 0.678% for drag and 1.828% for lift, indicating acceptability. The tool performed well at 1-5 m/s but showed high lift force standard deviation at 6 m/s. The maximum test object weight is 0.7 kg.

Abstract

The electroplating process of ferrous and non-ferrous metals has advantages such as; as a protector against corrosion, improving appearance and increasing hardness, for example in coating: Cr, Cd and Ni. However, the coating process with Cd on AISI 4340 steel can result in metal embrittlement which leads to delayed brittle failure. This damage is very dangerous because there is no previous indication on the metal surface. In addition, fracture can occur at stresses much lower than the tensile stress of the material. From the results of this study, it is known that the non-uniformity of the thickness of the Cd layer formed results in stress concentration which further forms strain, this factor triggers the initial crack. The embrittlement by hydrogen comes from the electroplating bath that uses conventional cyanide coupled with brighteners. In addition, the very hard nature of AISI 4340 steel contributes to the embrittlement. The embrittlement of the material by hydrogen is caused by the presence of elemental sulphur which is cathodic poisons that segregate at the grain boundaries. Hardness will decrease the higher the baking temperature and the longer the baking time. The best condition to prevent embrittlement is if the baking process is carried out for at least 48 hours at a temperature of 250°C. The fracture surface by hydrogen embrittlement is in the form of intergranular crack, which indicates that the fracture is brittle.

Abstract

 Plastic is the most widely used material in Indonesia. The most commonly processed types of plastic are PET (Polyethylene terephthalate), HDPE (High-density polyethylene), and PP (Polypropylene). With advancements in materials technology, plastic is increasingly in demand as a material for fence decoration due to its advantages such as lightness, flexibility, weather resistance, and economy. Using composite materials makes it possible to optimize both strength, flexibility, and resistance to various environmental factors that occur, so as to produce more durable fence ornaments. This study aims to obtain the maximum stress and displacement values of fence ornament products using PP (Polypropylene), PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate), and HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) materials and different variations. And also compare the simulation results of the mechanical test of the fence ornament with the mechanical test conducted in the material laboratory. The finite element method is a numerical method for solving engineering problems of mathematics and physics. This method can be applied to problems with complex geometries, loads, and material properties, which cannot be solved analytically. Simulation results on fence ornament products with PP, PET, and HDPE plastic material composition with a thickness of 10 mm produced a stress value of 61.84 MPa, to the largest 70.26 MPa, and a displacement value of 0.038 mm, to 0.074 mm. In the experimental results obtained a stress value of 14.572 MPa, in the best simulation results obtained a stress value of 63.12 MPa, with a displacement value of 0.038 mm. This can occur due to factors that affect the results of simulation and testing.

Abstract

Packaging is one of the important needs in the food business that is difficult to avoid. Developing packaging products for food is an important thing that must be done to maintain cleanliness, health and the environment. Packaging waste that uses plastic as the basic material causes environmental pollution because it is not easily decomposed. Green packaging is one form of packaging that uses environmentally friendly materials such as rice straw. Bio-foam from straw combined with PVA, Glycerin, corn starch and distilled water is made into sheets for packaging. This sheet is tested with the addition of a coating derived from gondorukem which comes from plants. With this coating, it is expected to increase the tensile strength and hydrophobicity of the material surface. Testing was carried out with variations in the mixture of gondorukem and alcohol as the basic coating material, namely gondorukem concentrations of 20%, 40% and 60%. The tensile test results showed that a coating with a concentration of 60% gondorukem produced the highest tensile strength value. The increase in tensile strength reached 102% of the tensile strength of the sheet without gondorukem coating.

Abstract

The design method used as an approach in designing portable spot welding machines is the VDI 2222 design method. Working drawings use ISO standards and the design application used is solidworks. From the design method used as an approach in designing portable spot welding machines, the results of image documents in the form of working drawings are obtained which will then be used in the production process. The result of maximum stress calculation result of the frame used is 0,301 N/mm2 ≤ ????izin = 166,67 N/mm2, therefore the results obtained show that the elbow profile size 40 mm x 40 mm x 2 mm is confirmed to be safe to withstand the given load. The spring calculation above τ max = 27,07 Kg/mm2 ≤ τa = 65 Kg/mm2, therefore the results obtained show that the spring with a winding diameter of 7 mm and a wire diameter of 1.2 mm is certainly safe to withstand the given load

Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine the effect of grid blasting and electropolishing on the surface roughness and corrosion rate of AISI 304 stainless steel. In this research, AISI 304 will be treated using surface treatment grid blasting with various variations in blasting time which is then combined with electropolishing. The gritblasting times used in this research were 3, 5, and 7 minutes, and the type of sand used was alumina. Meanwhile, for electropolishing, H2SO4 is used.  Before the grit blasting process is carried out, the material is polished using SiC paper no. 200 and then the surface roughness was measured to be 937 ± 10 µm.  After this the electropolishing process is carried out using an H2SO4 solution. The surface roughness test results showed that the surface roughness decreased with grid blasting time.  Likewise, the data obtained from the corrosion rate is where the corrosion rate also decreases with grid blasting time.

Abstract

High-speed steel SKH 51 has excellent mechanical properties, including high hardness and wear resistance. This material is widely used for cutting tools and drills. Service life is also a crucial factor that is often improved to extend the material’s usability. To enhance the service life of SKH 51, a heat treatment modification was applied, specifically cryogenic treatment, to increase its hardness and wear resistance. The process began with austenitization, followed by quenching using N₂ gas. Subsequently, cryogenic treatment was conducted at varying temperatures of -80°C, -110°C, and -140°C, with a holding time of 30 minutes. Finally, a tempering process was done at 540°C with a holding time of 3 hours. The microstructure and mechanical properties after the applied heat treatment were studied. In the as-received condition, the microstructure consisted of pearlite, ferrite, and coarse carbides. After the heat treatment, martensite and carbides formed in significant amounts, with only a small fraction of retained austenite remaining after the cooling process. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed carbide phase peaks such as MC, M₂C, and M₆C. The hardness value increased as the cryogenic treatment temperature decreased over the 30-minute duration. Wear resistance was measured using the Oghoshi wear test method, showing an improvement as the cryogenic treatment temperature decreased. The increase in hardness and wear resistance of SKH 51 was attributed to the greater formation of martensite and carbides, which reduced the amount of retained austenite..

Abstract

The increasing need for electrical energy encourages the development of more efficient alternative energy sources. This study aims to analyze the utilization of flywheel-based electric generators with inertial loads to produce optimal output power.The research method used is an experiment, by testing a flywheel-based electric generator with variations in flywheel mass, namely 26 kg, 28 kg, and 54 kg. Testing is carried out by measuring the rotational speed of the shaft, torque, and output power produced under various operational conditions.The results of the study showed that the use of a flywheel contributed to maintaining the stability of the generator rotation speed, so that the output power produced was more consistent. From the test results, a flywheel with a mass of 26 kg produced an optimal output power of 367.6 W compared to other flywheels. The flywheel is also able to store mechanical energy and release it as needed, increasing system efficiency. The conclusion of this study is that a flywheel-based generator with an inertial load can be a potential solution in the development of more efficient and sustainable alternative power plants.
