Abstract

JIS SUP 9 steel is one of the materials commonly used for suspension components in motorized vehicles with medium carbon steel base material. It must have good hardness and toughness so that failure does not occur during operational. This research was conducted to increase the hardness of JIS SUP 9 Steel through a heat treatment and various quenching media. The heat treatment was carried out with 830-880ºC temperature with a holding time of 7 minutes then cooled using water and oil. After treatment, tempering was carried out with a holding time of 7 minutes and then cooled in room temperature. Hardness testing was carried out using Microhardness Vickers and then the microstructure was observed using an Olympus Metallurgical Microscope. The results show that heat treatment followed by rapid cooling increases the initial hardness of JIS SUP 9 (229 VHN) steel. The decrease in hardness after the tempering process will be higher with increasing tempering temperature. The results of the microstructure of the sample without heat treatment showed pearlite and ferrite phases. After heat treatment, tempered martensite, residual austenite and carbide phases appear. It can be concluded that changes in the microstructure affect the hardness of JIS SUP 9 steel.

Abstract

Pellet silika merupakan produk teknologi keramik komposit berbahan penguat pasir silika yang diaplikasikan dalam industri minyak dan gas sebagai proppant (pasir frank) maupun sebagai filter air dan industri perminyakan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan pengaruh ukuran pasir silika terhadap kekuatan tekan, permeabilitas dan mikrostruktur. Pada penelitian ini, ukuran pasir silika yang dipilih ukuran pasir silika halus yaitu (200 mesh) dan pasir silika kasar yaitu (20 mesh) dan diikat oleh polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400. Hasil uji kekuatan tekan terendah didapat pada sampel I yaitu 33,24 MPa sedangkan kekuatan tekan tertinggi pada sampel III yaitu sebesar 34,05 MPa. Karena semakin banyaknya ukuran butir pellet silika halus mampu memberikan ikatan interfacial pada polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400, dengan ukuran diameter lebih kecil akan memudahkan terjadi ikatan pada matriks sehingga meningkatkan nilai kekuatan tekan. Namun, uji permeabilitas berbanding terbalik pada kekuatan tekan dimana nilai permeabilitas tertinggi didapat pada sampel I yaitu 29,93 mD, sedangkan nilai permeabilitas terendah pada sampel III yaitu sebesar 23,35 mD. Hal ini karena adanya hubungan ukuran pasir silika halus yang berlawanan arah dengan ukuran pasir silika kasar. Artinya, apabila ukuran butir pasir silika halus naik dan ukuran butir silika kasar turun maka nilai permeabilitas turun. Hasil pengamatan mikrostruktur pada sampel I terlihat lebih sedikit rongga atau porosity dan membuat suatu ikatan interfacial yang lebih kuat. Karena adanya ukuran butir pasir silika halus lebih dominan banyak dari pada ukuran butir pasir silika kasar serta dibantu oleh pengikat berupa polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400.

Abstract

Soybeans are one of the main ingredients for making tempeh. Most of the tempeh production businesses still use the traditional system of washing soybeans. Washing soybeans is still done manually using a washing drum filled with water and stirred by hand, thus draining the workforce. In the process of washing soybeans, there is still direct contact with parts of the human body, resulting in unhygienic soybeans. From these problems, the solution is to make a machine that can wash soybeans in tempeh production which aims to facilitate washing soybeans and produce clean and hygienic soybeans. The soybean washing machine process uses a screw conveyor system with an AC motor 1 phase 1 HP 1420 Rpm as a driving force and a DC 12 V 25 W water pump to drain water into the watering canal. The machine can wash 5 kg of soybeans for 10 seconds, and produces a motor rotation of 271.2 Rpm, voltage 229 V, current 2.58 A to produce clean and hygienic soybeans.

Abstract

The traditional drying method has many weaknesses, namely it is very dependent on the weather, so that drying takes a long time. Traditional drying methods result in frequent contamination of dust, dirt, insects, and if wet they are prone to moss growth due to delays in drying during cloudy or rainy weather. This study designed a coffee bean dryer with electric power which is the result of converting solar energy with the help of photovoltaic which is first stored in the battery. The main components of this tool are: drying chamber, drying roof, tray, thermostat, heating element, this test is carried out to determine changes in seed moisture content, required power and efficiency. The temperature is set at 50°C with a fan speed of 3m/s. The fastest decrease in water content occurred in the mass of 1 kg coffee bean samples starting on June 22, 2022 from 28.5% water content to 12% moisture content. Meanwhile, the longest decrease in the water content of coffee beans was at a mass of 2 kg coffee beans on June 24, 2022, the initial water content of coffee beans was 29.3% to 13.2%. The greater the mass of the coffee beans to be dried, the greater the time required to dry the coffee beans using a dome dryer. The maximum power is in the Sukmailang area, Pesawaran district which has a plateau as high as 1200 meters above sea level (MDPL) with an average power of 11.38 Watt. The highest power is produced at 12:00 WIB with a value of 16.49 Watts. The use of solar panels in the Sukmailang area, Pesawaran Regency which has a plateau as high as 1200 (MDPL) is still not effectively utilized because the results obtained have an average efficiency value of 2.22%

Abstract

Fire pump is a pump that is used to move water from the firewater reservoir to the location of the fire. If there is damage to this pump, the fire that occurs cannot be resolved quickly so that the impact of damage caused by fire becomes more widespread. Various problems can occur in the operation of the pump, one of which is damage to the bearings and shaft, noise occurs, decreased capacity, and even a decrease in pump efficiency. So to prevent the risk of greater damage and minimize losses in terms of cost and time, it is necessary to carry out maintenance. One of the efforts to detect damage to the pump is by vibration analysis, where from the vibration characteristics that occur, the type of damage can be determined. The purpose of this study was to determine the vibration characteristics that occur in the PEM Akamigas Cepu fire pump, by monitoring conditional vibrations using a vibration analyzer. The method is to attach the transducer to a predetermined location to determine the vibration spectrum that occurs in the axial, radial and tangential directions, then analyze the type of damage so that appropriate maintenance actions can be taken. As a result, this pump is indicated to be experiencing extreme looseness or bearing clearance problems at the pump drive end and pump non drive end as well as experiencing moderate pump imbalance, so it needs to be repaired immediately to avoid more serious damage.

Abstract

Radiator adalah suatu sistem atau komponen yang berfungsi utuk menjaga supaya temperatur mesin dalam kondisi ideal. Inhibitor anorganik telah terbukti dapat menurunkan laju korosi namun memiliki efek negatif karena materialnya yang tidak ramah lingkungan dan bersifat racun. Berdasarkan hal tersebut maka penggunaan inhibitor anorganik perlu dibatasi. Pada penelitian ini akan dibandingkan efisiensi inhibitor organik dan anorganik dalam menurunkan laju korosi. Inhibitor anorganik yang digunakan adalah Natrium Kromat (Na2CrO4) dengan konsentrasi 0,5%, 0,7%, dan 0,9%. Sedangkan inhibitor organik adalah Minyak Biji Kapas dengan variasi konsentrasi yaitu 25%, 30% dan 35% dalam waktu perendaman 21 hari dalam setiap inhibitor. Selanjutnya akan diuji ketahanan korosinya dengan media air biasa. Hasil pengujian laju korosi natrium kromat terendah pada konsentrasi 0,9% dengan nilai 0,0815 mm/y (0,628%) dengan waktu 21 hari. Laju korosi terendah pada konsentrasi 25% dengan nilai 0,1614 mm/y (0,273%). Penelitian ini menunjukan efisiensi perbandingan terbaik masih di lihat pada inhibitor anorganik natrium kromat, setaiap konsentrasi laju korosi semakin rendah.
