[Permintaan terhadap munisi kaliber besar untuk kebutuhan bidang HanKam di dalam negeri sangat tinggi. Oleh karena itu, produsen harus mengimpor bahan baku Cu-Zn 70/30 dari luar negeri dengan harga yang tinggi. Hal ini yang menyebabkan produsen di dalam negeri berlomba untuk menguasai teknologi pembuatan selongsong peluru kaliber besar agar dapat meningkatkan kemandirian di bidang HanKam supaya biaya produksi menjadi lebih rendah. Salah satunya adalah menggunakan proses thixocasting untuk menghasilkan preform/mangkuk Cu-Zn 70/30 dari billet yang dilanjutkan dengan ironing. Keberhasilan proses ironing tergantung dari mampu bentuk dingin material Cu-Zn 70/30 yang digunakan. Oleh karena itu, pada penelitian ini dipelajari bagaimana meningkatkan mampu bentuk dingin dengan metode thermomechanical controlled processed menggunakan teknologi canai hangat. Teknologi canai hangat dilakukan dengan metode double pass reversible sebanyak 25% x 2, 30% x 2, dan 35% x 2 dengan variabel temperatur 300oC, 400oC, dan 500oC. Dengan melakukan pengamatan metalografi baik menggunakan optical microscope maupun FE-SEM, pengujian mekanik baik uji tarik maupun uji keras mikro vickers, dan pengujian mampu bentuk dengan swift test menghasilkan kesimpulan yaitu derajat deformasi aktual canai hangat yang dilakukan tidak sesuai dengan teoritis, namun dari variabel canai hangat yang dilakukan masih bisa dihasilkan sifat mampu bentuk terbaik yaitu pada benda uji yang dideformasi canai hangat di temperatur 500oC dengan derajat deformasi aktual sebesar 38.7%. Sifat mampu bentuk yang tinggi berhubungan dengan sifat mekanik dan struktur mikro yang dihasilkan yaitu ukuran butir halus mencapai 29 μm, berbentuk equiaxed dengan nilai GAR mencapai 1.2, dan nilai kekerasan mikro yang tinggi mencapai 155 HV. Selain itu, kekuatan UTS dan YS tertinggi masing-masing sebesar 533 MPa dan 435 MPa juga didapatkan dari benda uji yang dilakukan parameter deformasi canai hangat di temperatur 500oC dengan derajat deformasi aktual 38.7%. Sedangkan apabila dilihat dari sifat mampu bentuknya maka benda uji yang dideformasi canai hangat pada kondisi parameter ini memiliki nilai koefisien pengerasan regang yang tinggi sebesar 0.00228, nilai anisotropi normal rata-rata yang tinggi sebesar 0.5452, nilai anisotropi planar (Δr) yang rendah yaitu Δr<1 sebesar -0.42, LDR tinggi sebesar 2.625, dan tinggi mangkuk terbesar yaitu 10.31 mm.;The needs of high calibre munition for Indonesian army is very high. To fulfill this strategic requirement, the government has to import this munition even the price is very high. This condition stimulates local industry to obtain the latest technology to produce high calibre munition, especially on casing. It is expected that the price will be lower by producing high calibre munition in Indonesia. On of technology which is used to produce high calibre casing munition is thixocasting to produce pre-formed cup of Cu-Zn from billet then followed by ironing process. The quality result of ironoing process is mostly dependent on cold formability of Cu-Zn 70/30 material used. Therefore, this research focuses to study how to improve cold formability by implemented thermo mechanical controlled processed with warm rolling. Warm rolling is conducted on double pass reversible method with deformation 25% x 2, 30% x 2, and 35% x 2 at various temperatur 300oC, 400oC, and 500oC. The specimens are then examined and tested by several method such as metallography using optical microscopy and FE SEM, tensile test, vickers hardness test and swift test to observed cold formability. The result indicate that the aktual degree of deformasi of warm rolling can not be achieved as planned due to some problems with the equipment. However, the best formability can be measured, where the best formability is obtained for specimens which were warm rolled at temperatur 500oC with aktual deformation 38.7%. Formability is strongly related to the mechanical properties and its microstructure where the best formability obtained for the specimens which has 29 μm grain size in equiaxed form and has GAR value of 1.2, and maximmum hardness value is 155 HV. This specimen has UTS and YS maximum are 533 MPa and 435 MPa, maximum strain hardening coefficient 0.00228, average anisotropic 0.5452, anisotropic planar Δr<1 at -0.42, LDR maximum 2.625, and the height of cup is 10.31 mm., The needs of high calibre munition for Indonesian army is very high.

[Teknologi struktur berdinding tipis banyak digunakan pada desain struktur automotif, pesawat terbang, kapal laut, gerbong kereta api, bangunan gedung dan industri, dan lain-lain. Salah satu grup struktur berdinding tipis adalah struktur baja ringan dimana tebalnya sekitar 0.373 mm sampai 6.35 mm. Umumnya rasio lebar terhadap tebal disetiap bagian elemennya sangat besar. Kelompok baja ini sering disebut group cold-formed steel section. Ide dari suatu struktur dengan menggunakan baja ringan adalah mendapatkan kekuatan maksimum dari berat material seminimum mungkin dan bila digabungkan dengan strategi perencanaan yang inovatif dan tepat maka dapat diwujudkan untuk berbagai keperluan. Pengaruh bentuk geometri penampang sangat besar pengaruhnya terhadap perilaku dan kekuatannya dalam mendukung beban. Adanya perubahan bentuk sedikit saja dari penampangnya maka kekuatan elemen struktur tersebut akan berbeda sama sekali termasuk juga perilaku tekuknya. Keuntungan penggunaan cold-formed steel section meliputi antara lain desain yang lebih ekonomis dapat dicapai untuk beban yang relatif ringan dan bentangan pendek, pengurangan berat struktur sehingga diperoleh perbandingan kekuatan dengan berat yang tinggi serta dapat digunakan langsung sebagai lantai, atap, dinding, conduit, dan lain-lain. Model kerusakan yang dialami oleh struktur berdinding tipis khususnya dibagian yang tertekan adalah mengalami kerusakan berupa tekuk setempat (local bukcling) kemudian akan berkembang menjadi local plastic hinge failure mechanisms (plastic collapse). Secara teknis pengembangan model analisis kekuatan struktur baja ringan yang dibuat dengan proses pembentukan dingin ini dapat diarahkan untuk memperkecil kelemahan disain metode konvensional pada struktur baja dimana dalam metode konvensional, disain kekuatan struktur baja biasanya ditentukan dengan memanfaatkan faktor keamanan (safety factor) sehingga besar kecilnya faktor keamanan yang digunakan dalam disain akan berpengaruh pada berat disain struktur baja yang dihasilkan. Untuk mengurangi ketergantungan penggunaan faktor keamanan dalam disain, maka perlu dikaji dan dikembangkan suatu metode evaluasi kekuatan yang tidak tergantung pada penggunaan faktor keamanan. Metode analisis disain yang dikembangkan didalam penelitian ini tidak menggunakan faktor keamanan sehingga dapat digunakan untuk mendisain struktur baja yang mampu mendukung beban kerja dengan berat yang seringan mungkin sehingga diperoleh struktur yang efektif dan efisien dari segi teknis dan ekonomi. Dalam penelitian ini, suatu metode cut-off strength digunakan sebagai dasar untuk memprediksi kekuatan profil baja ringan berpenampang persegi (SHS) akibat interaksi beban tekan memusat dan momen lentur. Metode cut-off strength diilustrasikan dalam bentuk dua kurva beban-defleksi plastis dan elastis, dimana nilai beban diperpotongan kedua kurva tersebut diasumsikan sebagai kekuatan teoritis profil baja SHS terhadap interaksi tekan memusat dan momen lentur. Kurva plastis dibentuk berdasarkan persamaan beban-defleksi yang dikembangkan melalui analisis kesetimbangan energi model mekanisme kerusakan plastis profil baja SHS. Sementara itu, kurva elastis dibentuk berdasarkan persamaan beban-defleksi yang dikembangkan melalui analisis non-linear elastic profil baja SHS dengan mempertimbangkan efek local buckling pada penampang profil yang tertekan. Metode analisis ini diimplementasikan dengan menggunakan perangkat lunak (software) komputer. Untuk mengukur ketelitian model analisis disain yang dikembangkan dalam penelitian ini, hasil prediksi kekuatan profil baja SHS diverifikasi menggunakan data kekuatan aktual yang dihasilkan melalui pengujian sejumlah profil baja SHS akibat interaksi beban tekan memusat dan momen lentur sampai rusak. Hasil verifikasi menunjukkan bahwa rasio data prediksi analitis dan eksperimental masih tersebar dalam batas-batas toleransi yang umum digunakan yaitu ± 20 %. Dalam penelitian ini juga dipelajari parameter dimensi dan material dasar profil baja SHS yang dapat mempengaruhi kekuatannya, dimana parameter tersebut terdiri dari variasi rasio lebar tumpuan beban, tinggi web dan radius kelengkungan terhadap tebal (n/t, hw/t dan r/t), panjang bentang profil (l) dan tegangan yield material (σyield). Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa profil baja SHS lebih kuat mendukung interaksi beban tekan memusat dan momen lentur sejalan dengan peningkatan parameter rasio n/t dan hw/t sedangkan akibat peningkatan parameter r/t dan panjang bentang (l) menyebabkan kekuatan profil baja SHS dalam menerima interaksi beban tekan memusat dan momen lentur akan lebih melemah. Disamping itu terindikasi bahwa pengaruh variasi tegangan yield terhadap kekuatan profil baja SHS akibat interaksi beban tekan memusat dan momen lentur tidak terlalu berarti.;

Thin-walled structure technology is often used in structural design of aircraft, automotive, ship, train, building of industries, etc. A light weight steel structure is one of thin-walled structure group where its thickness ranges inbetween 0.373 mm to 6,35 mm. Generally speaking that the ratio of width to thickness is very large and this group of steel is called cold-formed steel section. The idea of using this light weight steel section in the design is to obtain a high strength to weight ratio and an innovative design strategy, which can be used in various needs.The form of geometry and cross section of the light weight steel structures affects significantly to the strength and local buckling behavior. The adventage of using the cold-formed steel sectionc is to obtain the economical design and reducing of structural weight. The economical design can be obtained especially for the relative minimum weight and short span. Effect of reducing weight can result in high strength to weight ratio. With reference to this advantages, the light weight steel structures can also directly be used for the design of floor, roof, wall, conduit, etc. In the design of light weight steel structure, its compressive elements tend to undergo local buckling that can be subsequently develop to local plastic hinge failure mechanisms, at collapse. Technically, the development of strength analytical model of a thin-walled steel structure produced by cold-forming process in this research is aimed at reducing the weakness of a conventional method to analyze the strength of the structure. In the conventional method, the strength design of the steel structure is usually determined using a safety factor where the value of this safety factor will affect the weight of the steel tructure. In order to reduce the dependency of using safety factor in the design, it has been attempted to develop another method of designing the strength of the steel structure, which does not depend on the application of a safety factor. Based on this method, the strength analysis used can certainly result in the design steel structure, which is lighter and still able to carry applied loads. Thus, the main objective of developing this analytical method is intended to obtain the steel structural design, which is still effective and efficient in terms of technical and economical points of view. In this research program, a method of cut-off strength is used as a basis of predicting the strength of a square hollow steel section affected by the interaction of concentrated-compressive load and bending moment. The method cut-off strength is illustrated in the form of two plastic and elastic curves of load-deflection, where the value of load at an intersection of these curves is assumed to be the theoretical strength of the steel section with respect to the interaction of concentrated-compressive load and bending moment. The plastic curve is established according to a load-deflection equation that is developed through the analysis of energy equilibrium on the plastic failure mechanisms model of the steel section. Meanwhile, the elastic one is established according to another load-deflection curve that is developed through the analysis of non linear elastic concept of the steel structure. This analytical method is implemented by using computer software. In order to measure the accuracy of the design of this analytical model developed in this program, its predicted results are verified using actual strength data obtained from a number of tests on the square hollow steel sections subjected to the interaction of concentrated-compressive load and bending moment to failure. Verification results indicate that the ratio of the analytical-predicted data and experimental one is still scattered within tolerable limits of ± 20 %. This research also studies parameters of dimension and basic material of the steel SHS, which can influence its strength, where these parameters consist of variation of load bearing length, web height and radius with respect to thickness (n/t, hw/t and r/t), span length of the section (l) and yield strength material (σyield). The assesment results show that the steel SHS under insteraction of concentrated-compressive load and bending moment are stronger along with the increasing of the parameter of n/t and hw/t. Meanwhile, due to the increasing steel section of radius ratio (r/t) and span length (l) the strength of steel SHS tend to decrease. Bisides, it has also indicated tha the effect of various yield strength with respect to the strength of the steel SHS under insteraction of concentrated-compressive load and bending momento is not too significant.;Thin-walled structure technology is often used in structural design of aircraft, automotive, ship, train, building of industries, etc. A light weight steel structure is one of thin-walled structure group where its thickness ranges inbetween 0.373 mm to 6,35 mm.

Lapisan putih yang selalu muncul dalam EDM memiliki entitas yang berbeda dari logam induk, dikarenakan pendinginan cepat dan adanya migrasi material baik dari elektroda maupun fluida dielektrik. Dalam penelitian ini dikaji lapisan putih dari baja SKD 61 dan Aluminium Seri 5000, hasil perlakuan permukaan dengan menggunakan elektroda Cu, Gr dan Cr serta fluida dielektrik minyak jarak. Dalam pelaksanaannya baja SKD 61 diperlakukan dengan tiga tipe elektroda penampang lingkaran yaitu konvensional, dua lapis dan tiga lapis. Sedangkan untuk paduan aluminium digunakan penampang lingkaran dan persegi empat dua lapis. Ketebalan lapisan putih diukur dengan sangat cermat, dengan cara pengukuran berbasis citra. Untuk penilaian, hasil proses minyak jarak dibandingkan dengan unjuk kerja minyak tanah dan EDM-85. Sedangkan hasil elektroda berlapis dibandingkan terhadap elektroda konvensional. Hasil analisis data didapat bahwa kuat arus merupakan faktor dominan yang mempengaruhi nilai kekasaran permukaan dan ketebalan lapisan putih. Ditemukan pula laju pembentukan geram menggunakan minyak jarak masih terlampau rendah hal ini disebabkan kekentalannya tinggi. Terungkap pula adanya kenaikan unsur kimia lapisan putih relatif terhadap logam induk yaitu unsur C, Mg, Si, Mo, Ca, V, Cr, Cu, dan Zn, sedangkan unsur Fe berkurang. Selain itu diperoleh hasil bahwa ketebalan lapisan putih meningkat sesuai dengan kenaikan energi pemotongan, hal ini terjadi sebagaimana nilai kekasaran permukaan hasil perlakuan EDM. ......Electric Disharge Coating (EDC) is the development of Electric Discharge Machining (EDM), for surface treatment. White layer which always appear in the EDM has a different entity from the base metal, due to rapid cooling and migration both of the electrode material and the dielectric fluid. In this study examined the white layer of steel SKD 61 and Aluminium 5000 series, the results of surface treatment using the electrode Cu, Cr and Gr and the dielectric fluid jatropha curcas. In the execution of SKD 61 steel treated with three types of electrodes are solid circular cross section, the two layers and three layers. While the aluminium alloy used for circular and rectangular cross-section of two layers. White layer thickness measured very carefully, by means of image-based measurement. For the assessment process with jatrophacurcas results compared against the performance of the EDM-85. While the results of layered electrodes compared to solid electrodes. From the analysis of the data found that the electric current is the dominant factor affecting the surface roughness and white layer thickness. It was also found that the rate of metal removal of jatropha curcas furious still too low this is due to high viscosity. From the observation revealed that an increase in the chemical elements of white layer relative to the base metal, namely C, Mg, Si, Mo, Ca, V, Cr, Cu, and Zn, while Fe is reduced. In addition it also obtained evidence that the white layer thickness increases with the increase in cutting energy, this phenomenon occurs as surface roughness.

Agen bio-kopling adalah material berbasis bahan alam terbarukan yang digunakan sebagai aditif pengkompetibel pada modifikasi polimer sintetik dan serat alam.Modifikasi polipropilen dengan serat alam diperlukan agen kopling untuk meningkatkan kompatibilitas kedua bahan tersebut. Karena PP bersifat hidrofobik dan serat alam hidrofilik, maka diperlukan agen kopling yang bersifat amphifilik hybrid . Salah satu bahan yang dapat dimodifikasi sebagai bahan amphifilik adalah biopolymer. Biopolimer berbasis starch sebagai matrik yang mudah didegradasi secara biologis dan dimodifikasi dengan polimer sintetis telah banyak dikembangkan untuk berbagai aplikasi teknik. Starch yang sebagian besar merupakan komponen amilopektin merupakan padatan semi kristalin yang sangat mudah dimodifikasi menjadi berbagai produk teknik. Teknik modifikasi antara starch dengan polimer sintetik polyolefin banyak dikembangkan untuk memperbaiki sifat biodegradabilitas polimer sintetik. Teknik pencangkokan banyak dipilih untuk memodifikasi starch dengan monomer/polimer sintetik. Metode ATRP telah digunakan pada kopolimerisasi starch dengan polimer sintetik karena kemudahan dalam mengontrol polidispersitas PDI dan berat molekul. Disisi lain kedua bahan tersebut memiliki permasalahan yaitu keduanya tidak memiliki reaktifitas yang sama, sehingga untuk dapat dilakukan kopolimerisasi antar keduanya, maka baik propilen maupun starch dilakukan modifikasi terlebih dahulu. Substitusi amilopektin teraktifasi oleh inisiator ATRP, membuat amilopektin memiliki gugus radikal yang dapat melakukan transfer atom pada alkil metakrilat, sehingga alkilmetakrilat selain tercangkok langsung pada amilopektin juga terpolimerisasi menghasilkan kopolimer Ap-g-PAMA. Kopolimer Ap-g-PHMA selanjutnya dipilih sebagai agen kopling pada pencampuran PP/serat alam untuk meningkatkan compatibilitas PP sebagai matrik biokomposit.

Efisiensi produksi di Industri Casting alumunium untuk komponen otomotif saat ini hanya berada di angka 65%, dari target 85%. Ke tidak efisien an terbesar adalah adanya waktu produksi yang hilang akibat kerusakan pada cetakan, yaitu sekitar 14%. Masalah utamanya adalah Over heat, Insert pin rusak/ patah, dan kesulitan pergantian cetakan. Kerusakan Insert pin yang terbuat dari material SKD61 menyebabkan terhentinya proses produksi dalam waktu yang cukup lama (lebih dari 4 jam produksi), akan mengakibatkan penurunan produktifitas yang signifikan bagi pabrikan. Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) adalah teknik pelapisan khusus untuk deposisi uap secara fisik (PVD) yang menggunakan plasma yang dibentuk oleh interaksi antara sinar laser dan bahan target. PLD saat ini digunakan untuk menghasilkan film tipis berkualitas tinggi untuk superkonduktor, lapisan listrik, aplikasi medis, lapisan magnet, dan lapisan coating. Penelitian ini merupakan rangkaian penelitian PLD yang bertujuan untuk menemukan coating terbaik dengan PLD yang dapat meminimalkan kerusakan pada insert pin baja perkakas berbahan SKD61 yang digunakan sebagai komponen cetakan pada pabrik Alumunium Die Casting. Penyebab utama kerusakan Pin SKD61 adalah terjadinya fenomena Die soldering pada permukaan pin yang bersentuhan dengan alumunium cair pada kecepatan aliran yang tinggi. Cara yang paling efektif saat ini untuk mengatasi die soldering adalah melapisi permukaan dies dengan material coating, sehingga meminimalkan terjadinya kontak langsung antara material alumunium dengan cetakan. Lapisan coating yang baik didapatkan dari pemilihan material coating yang tepat, dan penggunaan metode coating yang maksimal. Material Al, Ti, dan gas N2 digunakan sebagai bahan pelapis dikarenakan kemampuannya untuk mencegah terjadinya soldering dengan menaikkan temperature kritis terjadinya soldering. Pemakaian komposisi AlTi 50/50, AlTi 40/60 dan AlTi 30/70 digunakan untuk melihat pengaruh kandungan Ti terhadap hasil coating. Pada metode PLD digunakan laser Nd:YAG Q switch dengan panjang gelombang 532 nm dan 1064 nm dan energi 50 mJ sampai 140 mJ. Sedangkan tekanan pada ruang vakum berkisar 1,16 -1,35 Torr, yang dilengkapi dengan gas N2 uhp. Selanjutnya hasil coating di annealing pada temperatut 6000 C pada kondisi vacuum dengan gas inert Nitrogen UHP selama 2 jam. Karakterisasi secara kualitatif dan kuantitatif dilakukan menggunakan Scanning Electron Microscope – Energy Dispersion Spectroscopy (SEM - EDS), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), Hardness tester, Surface tester dan Projector profile. Simulasi dan Uji Aplikasi pada cairan aluminium ADC12 juga dilakukan di bagian produksi Casting PT X untuk membuktikan hasil uji Laboratorium pada kondisi produksi sebenarnya di temperature cairan Al 6500 C~6800 C dan waktu proses 60 detik. Lapisan yang dihasilkan memiliki morfologi partikel Al-Ti-N amorf berukuran 10-20 nm dengan kekerasan permukaan dalam kisaran 333-384 mHv, dan setelah anil terjadi peningkatan kekerasan dalam kisaran 410 - 455 mHv Hasil coating terbaik dalam penelitian ini diperoleh pada penggunaan Panjang gelombang 1064 nm dan energi 120 mJ dengan lama deposisinya 20 menit pada frekuensi 10 Hz. Kekerasan permukaan memiliki hubungan yang erat dengan kandungan% Ti dan pemberian gas N2 pada proses PLD. Semakin tinggi % Ti cenderung menurunkan kekerasan permukaan coating karena gumpalan yang semakin banyak tapi tidak merata, sedangkan gas N2 memungkinkan terbentuknya senyawa nitride AlTiN yang menaikkan kekerasan permukaan. Kenaikan % Ti, relatif tidak berpengaruh terhadap tingkat adhesivitas. Proses anil meningkatkan kekerasan dan kekasaran, sedangkan tingkat adhesivitas kurang terpengaruh. Tingkat adhesivitas dari riset ini dipengaruhi oleh keberadaan gas N2 yang membentuk senyawa AlTiN yang lebih adhesive dari senyawa AlTi. Pengujian simulasi dan aplikasi menunjukkan bahwa pin dengan lapisan PLD AlTiN dapat memperpanjang umur tool dua kali hingga ketiga kalinya daripada pin standar. Umur insert pin PLD adalah sekitar 60.000 injeksi. Sedangkan umur insert pin standar hanya 20.000 injeksi. Hasil ini diharapkan dapat menjadi acuan untuk penelitian lebih lanjut dengan penambahan seperti pemanas pada substrat dan sistem holder substrat yang disesuaikan dengan bentuk substrat untuk memperoleh optimasi dari proses PLD. ......The aluminum casting industry for automotive components achieves only 65% of the targeted 85% production efficiency. Approximately fourteen percent of production time is wasted due to mold damage. Overheating, damaged/broken Insert pins, and difficulty changing molds are the primary issues. Damage to an insert pin made of SKD61 material causes the production process to be stopped for an extended period of time, as changing pins, repairing, and replacing molds requires the use of special techniques to protect the mold, the product components, and the safety of maintenance personnel. Extended stops in the production process (more than four hours) will result in a significant decrease in the manufacturer's productivity. Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) is a particular kind of physical vapour deposition (PVD) that utilises plasma generated by the interaction of laser light and the target material. Today, PLD is used to create high-quality thin films for superconductors, electric layers, medical applications, magnetic layers, and resistant coatings. This round of of PLD research aims to identify the most effective PLD coating for minimised damage to SKD61 tool steel instruments used in Aluminium Die Casting manufacturing. Die soldering, which occurs when the pin's surface comes into contact with molten aluminium at rapid flow rates, is the primary cause of injury to the SKD61 Pin. The most effective approach to die soldering is to protect the surface of the die with a coating material, thereby minimising direct contact between the aluminium and mould. The selection of a suitable coating material and the application of the optimum coating method results in the formation of an excellent coating layer. Al, Ti, and N2 gas are utilised as coating materials due to their ability to prevent soldering by raising the soldering temperature critical point. AlTi 50/50, AlTi 40/60, and AlTi 30/70 were used to determine the effect of Ti percentage on coating performance. The PLD technique applies a Nd: YAG Q switch laser with a wavelength between 532 nm and 1064 nm and an energy with 50 mJ up to 140 mJ. While the vacuum chamber's pressure ranges from 1.16 to 1.35 Torr, it is equipped with UHP N2 gas. In addition, the coating results were annealed for two hours at 600 degrees Celsius under vacuum conditions with UHP Nitrogen inert gas. Using Scanning Electron Microscope – Energy Dispersion Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), Hardness tester, Surface tester, and Profile projector, qualitative and quantitative characterization was carried out. Simulation and Application tests in ADC12 Alumunium molten have also been conducted at casting section PT X to validate the Laboratory test result under actual production conditions of 650o C to 680o C and a 60-second cycle time. The surface coatings have morphology of amorphous Al-Ti-N particles varying in size from 10 to 20 nm, with surface hardnesses between 333 and 384 mHv; after annealing, the hardness increases around 410 and 455 mHv. In this study, the best coating results were obtained with a wavelength of 1064 nm, an energy of 120 mJ, a deposition time of 20 minutes, and a deposition frequency of 10 Hz. N2 gas causes the formation of AlTiN nitride compounds, which increase the surface hardness, whereas an increase in the percent of Ti decreases the surface hardness of the coating due to an increase in agglomerate in a surface area. The increase in percent Ti has no significant impact on the intensity of adhesion. The annealing procedure increases hardness and surface roughness while adhesion is affected less. The presence of N2 gas, which generates AlTiN compounds that are more adhesive than AlTi compounds, affects the adhesiveness of this research. Simulations and application tests indicate that a pin with a PLD AlTiN coating can double or triple the tool life of a standard pin. A PLD pin has a tool life of approximately 60,000 shots, whereas a standard pin only has a tool life of 20,000 shots. To optimize the PLD process, these findings are anticipated to serve as a reference for future research involving modifications such as substrate heaters and a substrate holder system

Telah dilakukan pelapisan diamond-like carbon (DLC) dengan metode plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD). Variasi parameter jenis gas, temperatur, tekanan, dan architecture coating dilakukan untuk mengetahui karakteristik lapisan diamond-like carbon yang terbentuk. Diamond dan grafit adalah alotrop karbon yang paling banyak diketahui. Diamond merupakan mineral alam yang paling keras yang memiliki struktur hibridisasi sp3 dan memiliki sifat ketahanan terhadap abrasive. Sedangkan grafit memiliki sifat yang lunak dengan struktur hibridisasi sp2. Diamond-like carbon adalah bentuk karbon amorf metastabil yang memiliki hibridasi sp3 dan sp2. Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan rekayasa lapisan diamod-like carbon di atas permukaan substrat AISI D2 dengan metode chemical vapour deposition berupa plasma lucutan pijar yang biasa disebut plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition. Digunakan liquid petroleum gas (LPG) sebagai sumber gas hidrokarbon yang lebih murah dan mudah di dapat. Selain itu juga dilakukan variasi parameter tempespratur dan tekanan untuk mengontrol rasio sp3/sp2. Selanjutnya architecture coating dengan metode double layer dipilih sebagai upaya untuk memperbaiki lapisan single layer. Karakterisasi raman dilakukan untuk membuktikan pembentukan lapisan diamond- like carbon serta rasio ID/IG (Intensity Graphitic/Intensity Disorder). Selain itu pengujian mekanik dan keausan dilakukan untuk mengetahui hubungan rasio sp3/sp2 terhadap rekayasa yang telah dilakukan. Penggunaan reaktan gas LPG sebagai sumber gas hidrokarbon untuk pelapisan berhasil meningkatkan nilai kekerasan lebih besar yaitu 418,08 HV dibandingkan dengan nilai kekerasan menggunakan gas C2H2 (388,58 HV). Selain itu penggunaan gas LPG menghasilkan CoF lebih kecil sebesar 5,52 x 10-3 sedangkan gas C2H2 didapatkan 7,59 x 10-3. Hal ini dikarenakan rasio H/C pada LPG yang lebih besar yaitu 2,3 sedangkan pada C2H2 yaitu 1. Daya lekat yang dimiliki lapisan dengan gas LPG maupun gas C2H2 memiliki kriteria klasifikasi yang sama yaitu 5B. Didapatkan ketebalan lapisan menggunakan gas LPG lebih besar yaitu 38,65 µm, sedangkan lapisan dengan gas C2H2 sebesar 25,7 µm. Ketebalan ini dipengaruhi oleh kandungan karbon di permukaan, didapatkan bahwa kandungan karbon LPG sebesar 50,57% sedangkan pada gas C2H2 sebesar 35,9%. Nilai rasio ID/IG penggunaan gas LPG berhasil menurunkan rasio yaitu 1.17 dibandingkan dengan gas C2H2 yaitu sebesar 1.31. Semakin kecil nilai rasio maka akan semakin bear rasio sp3/sp2 nya, hal ini akan memperbaiki sifat mekanik di permukaan. Pengaruh parameter temperatur dan tekanan pelapisan juga telah dilakukan untuk merekayasa lapisan diamond-like carbon. Didapatkan bahwa nilai kekerasan terbesar terjadi di tekanan 1.6 mbar sebesar 445,51 HV, sedangkan pada temperatur yang lebih rendah yaitu 400 oC dihasilkan kekerasan yang lebih besar yaitu 448,06 HV dibandingkan nilai kekerasan pada temperatur yang lebih tinggi (450 oC). Kenaikan tekanan pada 1.6 mbar berhasil menurunkan CoF menjadi 1.3 x10-3. Selain itu juga pada temperatur 400oC dihasilkan nilai CoF yang lebih kecil sebesar 1,15 x10-3, sedangkan pada temperatur 450oC didapatkan 5,52 x10-3. Hal ini dikarenakan kenaikan tekanan akan menghasilkan volume gas yang meningkat dan menghasilkan deposisi yang semakin banyak di permukaan substart yang menyebabkan kekerasan dan ketahanan ausnya meningkat. Kemudian pada temperatur rendah akan menghasilkan tumbukan antar gas dengan energi yang lebih kecil untuk menghasil sp3 lebih banyak, sehingga hal ini menyebabkan peningkatan kekerasan dan ketahanan keausan pada lapisan DLC. Daya lekat yang dimiliki lapisan diamond-like carbon pada semua varisasi temperatur dan tekanan memiliki kriteria klasifikasi yang sama yaitu 5B. Peningkatan temperatur berhasil meningkatkan ketebalan yaitu 38,65 µm. Sedangkan peningkatan ketebalan lapisan didapatkan pada tekanan yang rendah yaitu 1.2 mbar sebesar 28,9 µm. Kenaikan tekanan pada 1.6 mbar berhasil menurunkan rasio ID/IG sebesar 0,84 dibandingkan pada tekanan 1.4 dan 1.2 mbar masing-masing sebesar; 0,96 dan 1,17. Penurunan temperatur terbukti berhasil menurunkan rasio ID/IG sebesar 0,78. Semakin kecil nilai rasio maka akan semakin bear rasio sp3/sp2 nya, hal ini akan memperbaiki sifat mekanik di permukaan. Selain pelapisan single layer, architecture coating dengan metode double layer telah dilakukan untuk memperbaiki sifat lapisan single layer. Kemudian pengembangan lapisan interlayer kromium juga dilakukan sebagai metode architecture coating lainnya. Pada tahap penelitian architecture coating diperoleh dengan metode double layer Rekayasa 1 didapatkan nilai kekerasan 438,7 HV dan CoF sebesar 2.9x10-3. Hal ini dikarenakan pengaruh gas LPG pada tahap 2 di rekayasa 1 yaitu penggunaan gas LPG, tahap akhir disetiap rekayasa menentukan sifat dari lapisan DLC. Daya lekat yang dimiliki architecture coating Rekayasa 1 dan Rekayasa 2 juga memiliki kriteria klasisfikasi yang sama dengan lapisan diamond-like carbon single layer yaitu 5B. Selain itu juga ketebalan lapisan Rekayasa 1 dan Rekayasa 2 didapatkan masing masing; 30,1 µm dan 24,3 µm. Hal ini dikarenakan jumlah kandungan karbon di permukaan pada Rekayasa 1 lebih besar yaitu 48,74% dan pada Rekayasa 2 yaitu sebesar 29,08%. Architecture coating Rekayasa 1 memiliki nilai rasio ID/IG yang lebih kecil dibandingkan Rekayasa 2 yaitu masing-masing; 0,89 dan 0,96. Semakin kecil nilai rasio maka akan semakin besar rasio sp3/sp2 nya, hal ini akan memperbaiki sifat mekanik di permukaan. Lapisan interlayer chromium pada rekayasa parameter arus dan waktu pelapisan berhasil memperbaiki sifat mekanik dan ketahanan aus subtrat AISI D2. Kenaikan nilai kekerasan seiring dengan penurunan laju keausan yang mencapai 2,85 x 10-6. peningkatan arus listrik meningkatkan migrasi ion chromium dari larutan elektrolit ke katoda dan menghasilkan lebih banyak chromium di permukaan. ......A diamond-like carbon coating has been carried out using the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition method. Variations in the parameters of gas type, temperature, pressure, and architecture coating were carried out to determine the characteristics of the diamond-like carbon layer formed. Diamond and graphite are the most widely known allotropes of carbon. Diamond is the hardest mineral with an sp3 hybridized structure and abrasive resistant properties. Meanwhile, carbon has a soft nature with an sp2 hybridization structure. Diamond-like carbon is a metastable amorphous carbon form with sp3 and sp2 hybridization. In this study, we fabricate diamond-like carbon coatings on AISI D2 substrates using glow discharge plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. LPG gas is used as a cheap and readily available source of hydrocarbon gas. In addition, we modified the temperature and pressure parameters to control the sp3/sp2 ratio. In addition, a double- layer coating structure was chosen to improve the single-layer coating. Raman characterization was performed to demonstrate the formation of diamond-like carbon layers and the sp3/sp2 ratio. Additionally, mechanical and abrasion tests were performed to determine the relationship between the sp3/sp2 ratio and the technique performed. Using LPG gas reactants as a source of hydrocarbon gas for coatings increased the hardness value to , 418.08 HV as compared to 388.58 HV when using C2H2 gas reactants. In addition, using LPG gas resulted in a CoF of 5.52 x 10-3, whereas C2H2 gas yielded 7.59 x 10-3. This is because the ratio of hydrogen to carbon in LPG is greater than in C2H2; 2.3, 1 respectively. The adhesion of the coating with LPG gas and C2H2 gas has the same classification, 5B, as the adhesion of the coating with C2H2 gas. It was determined that the layer with LPG gas was thicker, measuring 38.65 µm, than the layer with C2H2 gas, which measured 25.7 µm. This thickness is influenced by the carbon content on the surface; it was determined that the carbon content of LPG was 50.57 % while it was 35.9% for C2H2 gas. Using LPG gas, the ID/IG ratio decreased to 1.17 from 1.31 when C2H2 gas was utilized. The greater the sp3/sp2 ratio, the better the mechanical properties of the surface, the smaller the ratio. The influence of coating temperature and pressure parameters has also been carried out to engineer diamond-like carbon coatings. At a pressure of 1.6 mbar, the highest hardness value was 445.51 HV, while at a lower temperature of 400 oC, the hardness value was 448.06 HV, which was greater than the hardness value at a higher temperature (450 oC). The pressure increase at 1.6 mbar was able to decrease the CoF to 1.3 x 10-3. In addition, a CoF value of 1.15 x10-3 was measured at 400oC, whereas 5.52 x10-3 was measured at 450oC. This is due to the fact that an increase in pressure will result in an increase in gas volume, leading to an increase in deposition on the surface of the substrate, thereby increasing its hardness and wear resistance. Then, at low temperatures, encounters between gases with less energy produce more sp3, resulting in an increase in the DLC layer's hardness and wear resistance. The adhesion of the diamond-like carbon layer is classified as 5B regardless of variations in temperature and pressure. Temperature increase resulted in a thickness increase of 38.65 m. While the increase in layer thickness was achieved at a low pressure of 1.2 mbar and 28.9 µm, it was observed at a thickness of 28.9 µm. Increased pressure at 1.6 mbar decreased the ID/IG ratio by 0.84 compared to pressures of 1.4 and 1.2 mbar, by 0.96 and 1.17 respectively. The ID/G ratio was successfully decreased by 0.78 by lowering the temperature. The greater the sp3/sp2 ratio, the better the mechanical properties of the surface, the smaller the ratio. In order to enhance the properties of single layer coating, architecture coating with double layer method has also been implemented. The development of the chromium interlayer layer as an additional architectural coating method followed. At the architectural coating research stage, the double layer Design 1 method yielded a coating with a hardness of 438.7 and a CoF of 2.9 x 10-6. This is due to the effect of LPG gas in stage 2 of design 1. The final stage of this design affects the characteristics of the DLC layer. The adhesive strength of Design 1 and Design 2 is also classified as 5B, the same as the single-layer diamond-like carbon coating. In addition, the thickness of Design 1 and Design 2 layers were determined to be 30,1 µm and 24,3 µm, respectively. This is because the surface carbon content of Design 1 is 48.74% higher than Design 2, which is 29.08%. Design 1's architectural coating has a lower ID/G ratio than Design 2's; 0.89 and 0.96, respectively. The surface's mechanical properties will be enhanced as the ratio decreases and the sp3/sp2 ratio increases. The mechanical properties and wear resistance of the AISI D2 substrate were enhanced by the chromium interlayer coating on the current and coating time parameter optimization. The increase in hardness value corresponded to the 2.85 x 10-6 decrease in wear rate. The increase in ecurrent increases the migration of chromium ions from the electrolyte solution to the cathode, resulting in a greater concentration of chromium on the surface.
