ANALISIS SIFAT FISIK DAN MEKANIS PISTON DAUR ULANG DENGAN VARIASI PENAMBAHAN PROSENTASE UNSUR TITANIUM-BORON (Ti-B) 0,1%, 0,3%, 0,5%
Abstract
This study discusses the composition of the material contained in the used piston material and compares the strength value of each variation of Ti-B percentage by violence testing. The method used in metal casting is Gravity Casting which uses only gravity of the earth.
In the manufacture of this recycled piston includes several stages of the process of working method with Sand Casting mold and its test. Among them are pattern planning, raw material preparation, pattern making, pasri printing, mold making with CO2 gas, aluminium metal smelting, Ti-B input into melt kitchen, casting of liquid metal, casting specimen and final process.
The result of composition testing of main alloy material is 84,19 % Al and 10,8306 % Si. The result of experiment with gravity casting method on 0,5% Ti-B percentage has hardness value 0,07 HVN. This means the percentage of Ti-B at the level of hardness, so the more Ti-B then the material is very hard.
