T Mustika, B Soegiyono, I Nyoman Nyoman Jujur

Abstract

Perencanaan suatu proses produksi sederhana yang mudah diaplikasikan pada industri menengah merupakan latar belakang dari riset ini. Pada riset ini dipelajari sejauh mana  mekanisme pembentukan bahan dengan proses hot press  metalurgi  serbuk  di  lingkungan  udara  yang tidak  dikondisikan,  akan berpengaruh  terhadap karakteristik dari Aluminium Matrix Composites (AMCs). Komposit terbuat dari serpihan AC8A cor yang di haluskan sebagai matrik dan ditambah kan partikel keramik SiC sebanyak 20% volume sebagai penguat. Proses hotpress dilakukan pada temperatur 380ºC dengan tekanan sebesar 425 MPa selama 5 menit dalam lingkungan udara yang tidak dikondisikan. Dilakukan perbandingan karakteristik dari material yang dibuat dengan cara hot press serbuk Aluminium paduan AC8A dengan dan tanpa partikel penguat SiC, serta material AC8A hasil cor. Hasil pengamatan terhadap komposit AC8A/SiCp memperlihatkan mikrostruktur yang padat. Pada beberapa tempat terdapat bagian partikel SiC yang retak dan terlepas dari SiC lainnya di permukaan AC8A. Hasil Uji tekan serta SEM dari retakan hasil uji tekan yang terjadi menunjukkan bahwa tercapai ikatan permukaan yang baik antara aluminium paduan dengan SiC. Hasil XRD menunjukkan fase dominan yang terbentuk sebelum dan setelah proses hotpres AC8A/SiCp adalah Al, Si dan SiC. Hasil uji mekanis menunjukkan bahwa kekerasan serta kuat tekan (compression strength) dari AC8A hasil hot press metalurgi serbuk  lebih tinggi  dibandingkan ingot AC8A hasil cor, namun kuat luluh (yield strength) AC8A hasil hot press metalurgi serbuk jauh lebih rendah dibandingkan ingot AC8A hasil cor.

 

Abstract 

Formulated a simple process to become easier in application in medium scale industries was the main background of this research. In this research, we investigate how far hot forming mechanism in an unconditional air is affecting to the microstructure and properties of Aluminium Matrix Composites (AMCs). Composites made using AC8A flakes that have been reduced into particle size as a matrix, which added 20% volume SiC particles as reinforcement, hot pressed at 380 ºC with pressure of 425 MPa for 5 minutes under unconditional air. The comparation between the characteristics of material made by hot pressing of AC8A powder with and without reinforching SiC particles, and cast ingots AC8A have been done.The observation of AC8A/SiCp composite showed a dense microstructure. In some places there is SiC particles which are fragmented and separated from other SiC particles on AC8A surface. The results of compression test and SEM observation of fractography occurred and indicates that a good interface diffusion bonding between AC8A with SiC have been reached. XRD results indicate that the dominant phase formed in AC8A/SiCp before and after hotpress was Al, Si and SiC. The results of mechanical tests showed hardness and compression strength of hot pressed AC8A had a higher results than the cast AC8A, but the yield strength of hot pressed AC8A is much lower than cast AC8A.
