Abstract

Elektroplating merupakan suatu proses pengendapan elektro lapisan logam pada elektrode yang bertujuan membentuk permukaan dengan sifat atau dimensi yang berbeda dengan logam dasarnya. Logam yang dilapisi adalah tembaga karena mudah dibentuk menjadi perhiasan, alat industri, bagian kendaraan bermotor dan lain sebagainya. Logam pelapis yang digunakan dalam pelapisan khrom dekoratif ini adalah nikel dan khrom. Penelitian ini menggunakan spesimen berupa tembaga yang berjumlah 15 buah dengan panjang 60 mm dan diameter 14 mm. Dalam pelaksanaan pelapisan pertama menggunakan voltase 5 volt, temperatur 60 0C dan dengan arus 50 ampere. Variasi dilakukan pada waktu pencelupan yaitu 5 menit, 10 menit, 15 menit, 20 menit dan 25 menit dengan tiga kali pengulangan. Sedang pada pelapisan kedua menggunakan voltase 5 volt, temperatur 50 0C, arus 50 ampere dan waktu pencelupan 2 menit. Hasil penelitian ini adalah dengan variasi waktu pelapisan nikel pada tembaga yang dilakukan (dengan range 5 menit-25 menit), nilai iluminasi cahayanya (tingkat kecerahannya) dan ketebalan lapisannya meningkat, yaitu pada waktu pelapisan nikel 5 menit nilai iluminasi cahayanya adalah 3297,027 lux dan ketebalannya adalah 14,1 µm hingga pada waktu pelapisan nikel 20 menit yaitu sebesar 8242,904 lux untuk iluminasi cahayanya dan hingga waktu pelapisan nikel 25 menit yaitu sebesar 55,77 µm untuk ketebalan lapisannya. Sedangkan untuk waktu pelapisan nikel 25 menit nilai iluminasi cahayanya menurun yaitu sebesar 6868,862 lux yang disebabkan karena banyak lubang pada permukaan lapisan.

Abstract

Suara lengkingan (squeal noise) sering terjadi jika salah satu permukaan kontak logambergesekan dengan permukaan logam lainnya padakondisi tertentu. Dalam banyakpengamatan, spektrum frekuensi yang dihasilkan didominasi oleh sejumlah puncak yangsangat tajam biasanya dalam rentang frekuensi 1-20 kHz, sering berupa bentuk frekuensitunggal. Tulisan ini difokuskan pada modifikasi struktur untuk mengurangi suara lengkinganyaitu dengan menambahkan massa pada struktur bebentuk cakram sebagai pemodelan daribentuk sederhana dari roda kereta api. Beberapa massa ditambahkan pada struktur cakramuntuk mencegah getaran yang tidak stabil akibat gesekan dan untuk untuk mengurangi suaralengkingan. Dalam penelitian sebelumnya ditemukan bahwa penambahan massa untukstruktur dengan gesekan yang menyebabkan suara lengkingan dapat diterapkan untukmenggeser atau mengurangi wilayah yang tidak stabil dari modus terkopel. dengan caramenghilangkan daerah tak stabil dari kondisi kerja. Pada penelitian ini, penambahan dua,empat dan delapan massa tambahan dengan berbagai ukuran ditambahkan di tepi cakram,dimana amplitudo getarannya lebih tinggi dibandingkan diposisi lainnya. Sehingga didapatkanbahwa dengan menambahkan delapan massa tambahan ditepi cakram suara lengkingan dapatdihilangkan, terutama dengan penambahan massa 50 gram dapat menghilangkan suaralengkingan dan dapat menggeser frekuensi pribadi menjadi 2114 Hz.Kata Kunci : suara lengkingan, modus terkopel, peredam dinamik,penambahan massaSqueal noise often occurs when a contact surfaces of metal rubbing against another metalsurface under certain conditions. In many observations, the frequency spectrum is dominatedby a number of very sharp peaks typically in the frequency range 1-20 kHz, often in singlefrequency form. This paper is focused on structural modifications to reduce the squeal noise byadding a mass in a simple thin disc as a simple model of train wheel where squeal noise isfrequently found when the train moves at curve track. Some masses are added to the disc toprevent unstable vibration caused friction and reduce the squeal noise. In previous study it isfound that the addition of mass to the structure with friction that causes the squeal noise canbe applied to shift or reduce unstable region of coupled mode. It works by removing theunstable region of the operating conditions. In this case two, four and eight lump masses withvarious mass is added to the edge of the disc where the vibration amplitude relatively higherthan other position. It is found that by adding eight-lump masses to thin disc the squeal noisecan be eliminated, especially by the addition 50 grams of the mass can eliminate the squealnoise, and shift the natural frequency to 2114 Hz.Keywords: squeal noise, coupled mode, additional mass

Abstract

There have been many studies about the dryer with a static bed so dry material produced is not uniform. Thus, drying withrotating bed can produce the dry material uniformly. Usually a prototype closest to the efficiency of the system as aperformance, but it has not been able to show its thermal energy balance. So the target of this research is a transient thermalenergy balance. Data taken in the testing include: the temperature inlet fluid of drying chamber channel (Tin), the velocity offluid flow into drying chamber channel (V), the outlet fluid temperature from drying chamber channel (Tout), the temperatureof dried material (Tmtl), the mass of dried material (mmtl), the surface temperature in the drying chamber wall (Tdlm), surfacetemperature out the drying chamber wall (Tluar). Next step is to get the results of data processing in the form of transientthermal energy balance in tables and graphs. From the results it can be seen that the useful energy decreases with timealthough the incoming energy drying system increased slightly. From the energy balance of thermal performance is obtainedalso in the form of thermal efficiency and average thermal efficiency is 18%. Decrease in useful energy as a function of time,causes the thermal efficiency as a function of time was also decreased, it is characterized by a decrease in the mass ofmaterial because the condition is getting dry.

Abstract

Proses pelapisan krom keras merupakan proses akhir atau tahap penyelesaian pada kebanyakan pembuatan komponen agar tidak cepat aus, seperti pada poros, pasak, ring piston, silinder, bearing dan crank shaf. Dalam bidang industri sifat mekanik yang banyak diperlukan pada logam yang dipergunakan adalah kemampuannya untuk tahan aus dan tahan korosi yang mana kita ketahui logam mempunyai reaksi yang sangat aktif terhadap perubahaan temperatur dan cuaca, maka perlu dilakukan pelapisan sehingga kemungkinan suatu bahan logam terkena korosi bisa dihambat. Bahan spesimen yang di gunakan adalah Baja St 60 (C 0.40%; Mn 7%; Si 0.28%; P+S 0.09%; Fe 98,53%) dengan variasi tegangan listrik: 4, 6, dan 8 volt, untuk variasi waktu elektroplating krom keras 30, 45, dan 60 menit. Pengujian yang dilakukan dengan pengukuran ketebalan lapisan menggunakan skala foto mikro dan menghitung ketebalan lapisan permukaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa semakin tinggi tegangan listrik yang digunakan dan semakin lama waktu proses pelapisan krom keras maka meningkat ketebalan lapisannya. Ketebalan lapisan permukaan yang paling tebal didapatkan pada tegangan 8 volt dengan waktu pelapisan 60 menit dengan ketebalan lapisannya sebesar 89,37 ?m, sedangkan ketebalan lapisan permukaan tipis didapat pada tegangan 4 volt dengan waktu pelapisan 30 menit ketebalan lapisannya sebesar 20,18 ?m. Jadi tegangan listrik dan waktu electroplating dapat mempengaruhi dan memberikan efek terhadap ketebalan lapisan yang terjadi pada Baja St.60. The hard chrome coating process is the final process or completion stage in most parts making so as not to wear out quickly, such as on the shaft, pegs, piston rings, cylinders, bearings and crank shafts. In the industrial field of mechanical properties that are much needed in the metal used is its ability to withstand wear and corrosion resistance which we know metals have a very active reaction to changes in temperature and weather, coating is necessary so that the possibility of a metal being corroded can be inhibited. The specimens used were Baja St 60 (C 0.40%; Mn 7%; Si 0.28%; P + S 0.09%; Fe 98.53%) with variations in electrical voltage: 4, 6 and 8 volts, for time variations hard chrome electroplating 30, 60 and 90 minutes. Tests carried out by measuring the thickness of the layer use a micro photo scale and calculate the thickness of the surface layer. The results showed that the higher the voltage used and the longer the coating process was hard chrome, the thickness of the layer increased. The thickest surface layer thickness was obtained at 8 volts with a coating time of 60 minutes with a layer thickness of 89.37 ?m, while the thickness of the thin surface layer was obtained at a voltage of 4 volts with a coating time of 30 minutes layer thickness of 20.18 ?m. So the electrical voltage and time of electroplating can affect and give effect to the thickness of the coating that occurs in Steel St.60

Abstrak:Dalam aplikasi engineering banyak ditemukan peralatan yang menggunakan silinder seperti tiang penyangga jembatan,cerobong asap, tiang pancang pengeboran minyak lepas pantai dan sebagainya. Peralatan-peralatan tersebutmengalami hembusan udara setiap saat, yang menyebabkan kekuatan konstruksinya berkurang, akibat adanya drag.Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh variasi jarak antar ring berbentuk segi empat padapermukaan silinder terhadap koefisien drag. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada wind tunnel (lorong udara) yang terdiri dariblower (untuk menghembuskan udara), pipa pitot, U tube manometer, inclined manometer, neraca digital, silinderdengan ring segi empat. Pada penelitian ini, dilakukan dengan memvariasikan Jarak antar ring yaitu 30 mm, 40 mm, 50mm, 60 mm dan 70 mm. Silinder diletakkan vertikal dalam wind tunnel dengan diameter D = 60 mm. Gaya dragdiperoleh dengan menggunakan neraca digital yang mencatat besarnya massa, kemudian dikalikan dengan percepatangravitasi. Distribusi tekanan diperoleh dengan mengukur tekanan pada permukaan silinder menggunakan inclinedmanometer pada 36 titik dengan interval 10o. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan semakin besar jarak antar ring koefisiendrag semakin besar. Koefisien Drag terendah terjadi pada jarak antar ring L = 30 mm atau L/D = 0.50, besarnya CD =0,606352. Besarnya penurunan drag dibandingkan tanpa ring adalah 29,3 %.Kata kunci: Silinder, ring segi empat, jarak antar ring, koefisien dragAbstract:In many engineering applications there are many types of equipment that use cylinders, such as smoke chimney, bridgesupport column, etc. The equipment is undergoing drag due to the airflow that flows through it. The existence of the dragwill reduce its lifetime. One of the efforts to reduce drag is to create a rectangular ring on the surface of the cylinder. Thepurpose of this study was to determine the effect of variations in the distance between the ring of a rectangular ring onthe cylinder surface on the drag coefficient.This research was conducted in wind tunnel which consists of a blower (forblowing air), pitot pipe, U-tube manometer, inclined manometer, digital balance, cylinder with a rectangular ring. Theresearch was carried out by varying the distance between the ring i.e. 30 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm and 70 mm,respectively. The cylinder is placed in a vertical wind tunnel with a diameter D = 60 mm. The drag force is obtained byusing a digital balance that records the amount of mass, and then multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. Thepressure distribution is obtained by measuring the pressure in the cylinder surface using inclined manometer on 36points with 10o intervals. The results showed that the greater the distance between the rings increased the dragcoefficient. The lowest drag coefficient was achieved at rhe distance between ring L = 30 mm or L/D = 0.50, with the CDvalue = 0.606352; that is equivalent to 29.3% drag reduction.Keywords: Cylinder, rectangular ring, space between ring, drag coefficient
