"This research was conducted at P.T. “ED” Aluminium, Yogyakarta, an industrial aluminum foundry that produces manually operated cooking appliances. The workers complain of muscle pain and fatigue, and of always having to pursue production targets in order to fulfill goods shipment deadlines. Also evident was the unergonomic work system, where the liquid aluminum was often spilled due to workers having to adopt an unnatural work posture when pouring the liquid aluminum into molds. Therefore, the researchers’ aims were to improve the operator’s working posture, reduce the workload, eradicate musculoskeletal complaints, improve time efficiency, and increase productivity by redesigning the liquid aluminum pouring tools using an integrated participatory ergonomics method combined with an appropriate technology (AT) concept. Furthermore, ergonomics intervention was conducted in the redesigning of the pouring tools. The result was an ergonomic liquid aluminum pouring tool. The ergonomics intervention results from use of the newly designed pouring tools allowed for a more natural working posture, improvement in the workload category from heavy to medium, a 26.13% reduction of the workload, and a 19.64% reduction in musculoskeletal disorders. Time efficiency increased by 25.81%, and productivity increased by 26.60%."

"The Aluminum 7075 (Al 7075) alloy is a precipitation hardening material instead of a strain hardening material. These mechanical properties are of a particular microstructure obtained by thermo-mechanical treatments. Among other things, this is a complicated microstructure which is responsible for the mechanical performance. The evolution of the mechanical properties of aluminum alloys is dependent on aging time parameters after heat treatment. In this study, the material has undergone a tempering heat treatment followed by a series of tensile tests. The experimental data (tensile curves in three directions during maturation time) is used to describe the evolution of the mechanical characteristics in terms of loading directions and maturation time, denoted respectively as: ? and t. The tensile curves are the source of data to begin the problem of identifying the behavior law of studied material using Barlat’s model and Hollomon’s isotropic hardening law. Thus, from the identified parameters (anisotropy coefficients and hardening coefficients), the evolution of the Lankford coefficient, deformation rate and load surfaces during the maturation time for three load directions (0°: rolling direction, 45° and 90°) are described. This study allows optimizing the response of the aluminum alloy to plastic strains, resulting from forming processes measured against the best time during maturation and the best load direction."

"Aluminum magnesium seri 5083 H112 banyak diaplikasikan untuk industri perkapalan. Hal tersebut dikarenakan aluminum memiliki kekuatan spesifik yang tinggi serta ketahanan korosi yang baik. Namun pada proses penyambungan berupa pengelasan banyak terjadi permasalahan berupa porositas serta menurunnya sifat mekanis terutama daerah terpengaruh panas. Mengacu kepada pengecoran, pemberian getaran pun diaplikasikan pada penelitian pengelasan dengan menggunakan kawat las ER 4043 ini. Sumber getaran berasal dari sebuah meja getar dan diatur getarannya sebesar 30 Hz. Pengujian yang dilakukan yakni pengujian tarik, metalografi, kekerasan mikro, radiografi-visual, dan image analysis. Dari hasil penggetaran nilai kekerasan daerah las dan juga kekuatan tarik meningkat dengan butir dari lasan yang halus pada tiap kecepatan las, 300 mm/menit dan 400 mm/menit. Jumlah porositas pun berkurang dengan dilakukannya penggetaran sebesar 30 Hz.

5083 series aluminum magnesium is widely used for marine industrial. It is caused aluminum has high spesific strength and good corrosion resistance. However, at process of welding many of porosity occured in the aluminum and it decrease the mechanical properties especially in HAZ (Heat Affected Zone). At casting process of aluminum, there is one method that can reduce the porosity by giving vibration while casting is performed. So this method is tried to be aplicated at this research which is using ER 4043 as welding wire. Vibration that used is around 30 Hz. Tensile test, metallography, micro hardness, radiography-visual test, and image analysis was used for characterize mechanical properties and porosity content at weldment. The higher average result of tensile test and microhardness for ER 4043 filler weldment for vibrated specimen and porosity content decreased for specimen with welding speed 300 mm/minute and 400 mm/minute. And finer grain has found at microstructure of weldment after welded with vibration."

"Aluminum matrix composite (AMC) menjadi material yang sangat potensial bagi aplikasi industri ketika terdapat kebutuhan untuk mendapatkan kombinasi sifat ringan dengan sifat lainnya yang menunjang seperti kekuatan, kekakuan, ketahanan aus, konduktivitas listrik dan termal tinggi, dan koefisien ekspansi termal rendah. Namun material AMC sangat rentan terkena korosi pitting dan galvanik, yang disebabkan oleh pembentukan pasangan galvanik antara matriks dan penguat, serta terbentuknya mikrostruktur pada interface penguat/matrix. Anodisasi merupakan proses modifikasi permukaan yang potensial untuk meningkatkan ketahanan korosi AMC dengan menghasilkan lapisan oksida berpori. Namun, adanya penguat dalam AMC menghalangi pembentukan lapisan oksida protektif dengan mendorong terbentuknya cavity dan retak mikro. Oleh karena itu, metode cerium sealing digunakan untuk memperbaiki cacat pada lapisan oksida hasil anodisasi, sehingga dapat meningkatkan ketahanan korosi pada lingkungan yang sangat agresif.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh parameter proses yakni temperatur dan rapat arus anodisasi terhadap pembentukan lapisan anodik berpori. Anodisasi dilakukan pada tiga temperatur yakni 25°C,0°C dan -25°C dengan variasi rapat arus 25,20 dan 15 mA/cm2. Pengujian kekerasan mikro Vickers digunakan untuk mengetahui sifat mekanik lapisan anodik. Pengamatan struktur mikro menggunakan FE-SEM untuk mengetahui morfologi permukaan dan mengukur ketebalan lapisan anodik.Hasil pengujian menunjukkan penurunan temperatur dan rapat arus akan meningkatkan kekerasan permukaan lapisan anodik alumina dimana kekerasan tertinggi adalah 427 HV yang didapat pada temperatur -25°C dengan rapat arus 15mA/cm2. Penurunan temperatur dan rapat arus juga relatif akan meningkatkan kerapatan dan keseragaman permukaan hasil anodisasi. Serta penurunan temperatur hingga 0°C akan meningkatkan ketebalan lapisan oksida dimana ketebalan terbesar adalah 14,13 μm yang yang didapat pada temperatur 0°C dengan rapat arus 25mA/cm2. Namun ketebalan kembali menurun pada saat diturunkan ke temperatur -25°C.

Aluminum matrix composites (AMC) become potential materials for transport application where there is an obvious need for combination of weight saving and other properties, i.e. high specific strength, high specific stiffness, electrical and thermal conductivities, low coefficient of thermal expansion and wear resistance. However they are generally susceptible to corrosion in various environments, due to galvanic reactions between the reinforcements and the matrix, and selective corrosion on the interface due to the formation of new compounds. Anodizing has been considered as a potential modification treatment for enhancing corrosion resistant of AMC by forming porous anodic oxide on the surface area.

This study aims to analyze the influence of anodizing process parameters which is temperature and current density on the formation of porous anodic coating, Anodizing process has been done at three different temperatures which are 25°C,0°C and -25°C with variation of current density at 25,20 and 15 mA/cm2. Vickers microhardness testing was used to determine the mechanical properties of anodic layer. Observation of microstructure using FE-SEM to determine surface morphology and to measure anodic layer thickness.

Test results showed that decreasing temperature and current density would increase surface hardness of aluminium anodic layer. The highest surface hardness was 427 HV which was got by anodizing at temperature -25°C with using 15 mA/cm2 of current density. Decreasing temperature and current density would also relatively increasing density and make the surface smoother and looks more uniform. Decreasing temperature until 0°C would increase thickness of the oxide layer where the highest thickness was 14,13 μm which was got by anodizing at temperature 0°C with using 25 mA/cm2 of current density. But the thickness would decrease when the temperature was decreased to -25°C."

This research aims to determine the effect of mold temperature and pouring temperature on the results of piston casting on AC8A aluminum material using the gravity die casting method with Z-Cast simulation program. This research uses casting simulation. This simulation uses Z-Cast Pro 3.0 software and the design in this research uses Solid Works 2021 software to produce 3D images. This research uses piston product using variable variations in mold temperature and pouring temperature. The variable of mold temperature variations used are 250°C, 300°C, and 350°C. The variables used to vary the pouring temperature are 660°C, 700°C, and 750°C. Shrinkage is due to the uneven solidification process in the product, due to the shrinkage of the liquid metal volume during the solidification process and not getting a supply of liquid metal from the riser. In the research without using a riser with optimal conditions at a mold temperature of 250°C and a pouring temperature of 660°C, using a 40 mm riser resulted in a mold temperature of 350°C and a pouring temperature of 750°C, a riser size of 50 mm with optimal conditions at the mold temperature 250°C and pouring temperature 660°C. Efforts to reduce defects by increasing the riser size, with a riser size of 50 mm will produce cast products with low mold temperatures and casting temperatures. Shrinkage on a 50 mm riser is less than the 40 mm size and does not use a riser."

"Dross merupakan produk sampingan dari proses pengecoran aluminium. Dross tergolong beracun dan berbahaya terhadap lingkungan karena mengeluarkan gas berbau seperi NH3, CH4, dan H2S yang dapat mencemari air tanah. Meskipun dross tergolong limbah yang berbahaya, terdapat sejumlah kandungan logam aluminium yang terperangkap di dalam lapisan oksida. Logam aluminium dapat dipisahkan dari lapisan oksida dengan cara melebur kembali dross dengan penambahan drossing flux, selanjutnya aluminium tersebut dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan baku aluminium sekunder. Pada penelitian ini, digunakan drossing flux dengan bahan penyusun NaCl-Na2SiF6-NaNO3 dengan variasi komposisi NaCl 5 wt%, 10 wt%, 15 wt% dan 20 wt%.

Dross is a by-product of aluminum casting. Dross are toxic and hazardous to the environment because it emits odorous gases such as NH3, CH4, and H2S which can contaminate groundwater. Although classified as hazardous waste, there is a certain content of aluminum metal entrapped in the matrix of oxide layer. Aluminum metal can be separated from the oxide layer by remelting the dross with the addition of drossing flux, then aluminum metal can be used as raw material for secondary aluminium. In this research, NaCl-Na2SiF6-NaNO3 based drossing flux is used with various composition 5 wt%, 10 wt%, 15 wt% and 20 wt% of NaCl. The process of making drossing flux is carried out by mixing, drying and sieving the materials and then continued to DSC testing. The working temperature of flux based on DSC testing results is 700oC. Based on the results of the study, the addition of drossing flux will increase the percentage of metal yield up to 8,35% compared to without the addition of drossing flux. The addition of drossing flux with the constituent of chloride fluoride-oxidizing compound showed a higher percentage of metal yield compared to drossing flux with the constituent of chloride fluoride salt, although it was not too significant."
