"Rem memiliki peran sangat penting karena dapat mengatur laju kendaraan. Rem adalah suatu sistem ketahanan gesekan buatan yang diaplikasikan pada sesuatu yang bergerak (moving member) untuk memperlambat atau menghentikan pergerakannya dengan menyerap energi kinetik dan menghilang dalam bentuk panas ke atmosfer sekitar. Cakram rem memerlukan material dengan kekerasan dan kekuatan tekan tinggi serta ketahanan aus dan konduktivitas termal yang baik, maka dari itu cakram rem biasanya terbuat dari besi tuang, namun dapat juga terbuat dari bahan komposit, seperti karbon, Ceramic Metal Composite (CMC), dan Metal Matrix Composite (MMC). Penelitian ini mempelajari pengaruh penambahan penguat pada komposit matriks aluminium terhadap struktur mikro, sifat mekanis, dan ketahanan aus untuk aplikasi cakram rem. Fokus pada penelitian ini adalah matriks komposit Al-11Zn-5Mg dengan variasi 0 dan 10 vol.% kadar SiC yang dibuat dengan metode squeeze casting. Pemilihan SiC sendiri diharapkan dapat menjadi penguat untuk peningkatan pengerasan pada matriks komposit tersebut. Selanjutnya dilakukan laku panas dimulai dari laku pelarutan pada temperatur 450 °C selama 1 jam diikuti dengan pendinginan cepat, kemudian dilakukan penuaan pada temperatur 200 °C selama 2 jam. Pengujian yang dilakukan pada penelitian ini adalah pengujian komposisi kimia, pengamatan struktur mikro, x-ray mapping, dan SEM – EDS (Scanning Electron Microscope – Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy), pengujian XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), perhitungan porositas dan DAS (Dendrite Arm Spacing), pengujian kekerasan, impak, dan laju aus. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan penambahan SiC 10 vol.% meningkatkan nilai kekerasan komposit dari 72.1 HRB menjadi 79.5 HRB. Fasa yang terbentuk setelah penuaan adalah fasa MgZn2, Mg2Zn11, Fe-Al intermetalik, MgAl2O4, dan Mg2Si. Laju keausan meningkat pada penambahan beban, yaitu masing-masing sebesar 4.27 x 10-3 mm3/m, 10.19 x 10-3 mm3/m, dan 22.33 x 10-3 mm3/m pada beban 2.11, 6.32, dan 18.96 kg pada sampel tanpa penambahan SiC. Namun, laju keausan secara signifikan lebih rendah pada sampel komposit yang mengandung 10 vol.% SiC, yaitu 2.78 x 10-3 mm3/m, 7.26 x 10-3 mm3/m, dan 19.93 x 10-3 mm3/m pada beban 2.11, 6.32, dan 18.96 kg......Brakes have a very important role because they can regulate the speed of the vehicle. Brake is an artificial friction resistance system that is applied to something that is moving (moving member) to slow down or stop its movement by absorbing kinetic energy and dissipating it in the form of heat to the surrounding atmosphere. Brake discs require materials with high hardness and compressive strength as well as wear resistance and good thermal conductivity, therefore brake discs are usually made of cast iron, but also can be made of composite materials, such as carbon, Ceramic Metal Composite (CMC), and Metal Matrix Composite (MMC). This research studied the effect of adding strengthening to the aluminium matrix composite on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and wear resistance for brake disc applications. The focus of this research is the Al-11Zn-5Mg composite matrix with variations of 0 and 10 vol.% SiC content made by squeeze casting method. The selection of SiC itself is expected to be a strengthening material for increasing the hardening of the composite matrix. The samples were heat treated starting from the dissolution treatment at 450 °C temperature for 1 hour followed by rapid cooling, then aging at 200 °C temperature for 2 hours. The tests carried out in this research were chemical composition testing, microstructure observations, x-ray mapping, and SEM-EDS (Scanning Electron Microscope – Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy), XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) testing, porosity and DAS (Dendrite Arm Spacing) calculations, hardness testing, impact, and wear rate. The test results showed the addition of SiC 10 vol.% obtained higher composite hardness values, which were 72.1 and 79.5 HRB after aging, respectively. The phases formed after aging are MgZn2, Mg2Zn11, intermetallic Fe-Al, MgAl2O4, and Mg2Si phases. The wear rate increases with increasing load, which were 4.27 x 10-3 mm3/m, 10.19 x 10-3 mm3/m, and 22.33 x 10-3 mm3/m respectively at 2.11, 6.32, and 18.96 kg loads in the sample without the SiC addition. However, the wear rate was significantly lower in the composite samples containing 10 vol.% SiC, namely 2.78 x 10-3 mm3/m, 7.26 x 10-3 mm3/m, and 19.93 x 10-3 mm3/m at a load of 2.11, 6.32, and 18.96 kg."

Baja berkekuatan tinggi sebagai material yang umum digunakan pada kendaraan tempur memiliki densitas yang besar sehingga membatasi mobilitas kendaraan. Untuk meningkatkan mobilitas kendaraan tempur, dilakukan pengembangan material dengan densitas lebih kecil, seperti komposit bermatriks aluminium. Al 2024 adalah salah satu paduan yang dapat dilaku panas untuk menaikkan kekuatannya. Penambahan partikel keramik seperti SiC pun dapat  menaikkan kekuatan dan kekerasan matriks, sifat yang dibutuhkan untuk menahan penetrasi balistik. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengaruh kadar SiC dan laku panas terhadap ketahanan balistik pelat komposit.

Partikel penguat nano SiC sebanyak 0.1, 0.2, dan 0.3 wt% ditambahkan ke dalam matriks Al 2024. Komposit difabrikasi menggunakan metode pengecoran tekan sebelum dilaku panas dengan solution treatment pada 495^oC selama 2 jam, didinginkan cepat dengan air, serta dilakukan penuaan pada temperatur 190^oC selama 1 jam. Pelat komposit kemudian diuji balistik dengan peluru 9 mm dan MU5-TJ yang setara dengan uji balistik NIJ Tipe II dan Tipe III. Karakterisasi lain seperti pengamatan metalografi, pengujian kekerasan, tarik, dan impak dianalisis berdasarkan data sekunder dari berbagai peneliti.

Hasil pengujian menunjukkan semua sampel tahan terhadap uji balistik NIJ Tipe II, namun semua tidak dengan uji balistik NIJ Tipe III. Penambahan kadar penguat nano SiC pada matriks menaikkan kekerasan, sedangkan elongasi dan nilai impak menurun. Hal ini dikarenakan mekanisme penguatan oleh partikel penguat, seperti transfer beban, penguatan orowan, ketidaksesuaian CTE, serta penghalusan butir. Perlakuan panas menaikkan kekerasan dan kekuatan tarik secara signifikan walaupun menurunkan kekuatan impak, karena partikel penguat bertindak sebagai situs nukleasi heterogen pada pembentukan presipitat penguat pada proses laku panas.

High strength steel as a common material for combat vehicle have high density that will restrict the vehicles mobility. To enhance its mobility, materials with lower density are being developed, one of it is aluminium matrix composite. Al 2024 is an alloy that can be heat treated to increase its strength. The addition of ceramic particles like SiC can also increase the strength and hardness of the alloy. For that, this research is intended to understand the effect of heat treatment and nano SiC content inside Al 2024 matrix on its balistic properties.

Nano SiC reinforcement particles is added to Al 2024 matrix with content variation of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 wt%. The composite plates were fabricated by squeeze casting before heat treated with solution treatment at 495^oC for 2 hours, water quench, and aging at 190^oC for 1 hour. The samples then subjected for balistic impact of 9 mm and MU5-TJ projectile, which equal to Type II and Type III NIJ standard. Other characterization such as microstructure observation, hardness, tensile, and impact testing is analyzed by secondary data from various research.

Testing results showed that all composite plate can endure Type II ballistic testing, but not Type III test. The addition of nano SiC content inside the matrix increases its hardness, but lower the elongation and impact endurance. This is due to the strengthening mechanisms by reinforcement, such as load transfer, orowan strengthening, CTE mismatch strengthening, and grain boundary strengthening. Even so, there are no significant effect to its tensile strength. Heat treatment increases hardness and tensile strength significantly, but lower its impact properties. Reinforcement particles act as heterogen nucleation sites for precipitate to form in heat treatment process.

"Baja sering digunakan sebagai material penyusun pada badan pelindung kendaraan taktis karena ketahanan balistiknya yang baik. Dengan densitasnya yang tinggi, memicu pengembangan material pengganti dengan densitas yang lebih rendah namun tetap dapat menahan penetrasi peluru. Salah satunya adalah komposit aluminium dengan penguat SiC. Pada penelitian sebelumnya, pelat komposit Al-6Mg-xZn dengan variasi 6, 9 wt.% Zn berpenguat 10 dan 20 vol.% SiC telah berhasil menahan peluru tipe III, namun masih mengalami retak dibagian belakang. Oleh karena itu, perlu adanya modifikasi matriks agar menghasilkan komposit yang lebih tangguh seperti penambahan Cr.Pada penelitian ini dipelajari komposit Al-11Zn-7Mg berpenguat 10 vol.% SiC dengan variasi kadar Cr sebesar 0, 0.043, 0.051, 0.083 wt.% yang difabrikasi melalui metode squeeze casting. Untuk meningkatkan sifat mekanis, pelat komposit kemudian diberikan laku pelarutan pada temperatur 450 oC selama 1 jam yang dilanjutkan dengan laku penuaan pada temperatur 130 oC selama 102 jam. Karakterisasi yang dilakukan pada pelat komposit yaitu pengujian komposisi kimia menggunakan Optical Emission Spectrometry (OES), analisis struktur mikro dengan mikroskop optik (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) dan Energy Dispersive X-Rays (EDX), perhitungan persentase porositas dan pengukuran Secondary Dendrite Arm Spacing (SDAS) menggunakan perangkat lunak Image Pro Plus, pengujian kekerasan Rockwell B, serta pengujian impak metode charpy.

Steel has been used as the constituent material for body of tactical vehicle due to its high ballistic resistance. But, steel has high density that triggered developments of lighter materials with high hardness and high impact energy such as SiC strengthened aluminium composites. Previous research has shown that 10 and 20 vol.% SiC strengthened Al-6Mg-xZn with variation 6 and 9 wt.% Zn could withstand type III bullets, but cracks remained at the back of the plate. Therefore, matrix modification is needed in order to produce thougher aluminium composite such as addition of Cr.

This research used Al-11Zn-7Mg as matrix and 10 vol.% SiC as reinforcement with variation of 0, 0.043, 0.051 and 0.083 wt.% Cr which are fabricated by squeeze casting method. To improve the mechanical properties, the composite plates were solution treated at 450°C for 1 hour then aged at 130 oC for 102 hours. The characterization consisted of chemical composition testing by using Optical Emission Spectrometry (OES), microstructure analysis by using Optical Microscope (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Rays (EDX), porosity calculation and Secondary Dendrite Arm Spacing (SDAS) measurement by using Image Pro Plus software, hardness testing by using Rockwell B and impact testing by using charpy method.

The results showed that addition of Cr from 0 to 0.083 wt.% increased the hardness of composite from 58.8 to 61.8 HRB and decreased the impact values from 11290.4 to 10131.8 J/m2. The increase in hardness was due to solid solution strengthening of Cr in Al-Zn-Mg matrix as well as reduction of SDAS from 21.6 to 17.1 μm respectively from the addition 0.043 to 0.083 wt.% Cr. Ageing at 130°C significantly increased the hardness of the composites from 83.1 to 90.7 HRB, however, Cr did not give impact on the precipitation processes. Along with the increasing hardness, the impact properties decreased which indicated reduction of toughness."

ABSTRACT

Materials for military vehicle are usually made of steel which has high hardness and high impact properties. Because of its high density, development of lighter materials with high hardness and high impact energy such as aluminium composites is done. Previous research has successfully produced SiC-strengthened aluminium composites that were able to withstand type III bullets, but cracks remained at the back of the plate. Therefore, in this research, Ti was added in order to increase the toughness of the composite matrix by grain boundary strengthening.

This research used Al-11Zn-8Mg as matrix and 10 vol.% SiC as reinforcement with Ti addition of 0, 0.018, 0.029 and 0.224 wt.% which were fabricated by squeeze casting method. The composites were solution treated at 450 oC for 1 hour, then aged at 130 oC for 102 hours. Material characterization consisted of chemical composition test by using Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES), hardness test by using Rockwell B method and impact test using Charpy method, microstructural analysis by using optical microscope and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) equipped with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS).

The results showed that addition of Ti increased the hardness by grain refining mechanism. The increase in hardness was followed by the decrease in toughness. The hardness significantly increased by aging process due to the formation of MgZn2 precipitates. Addition of Ti lowered the number of solute-vacancy-complexes which decreased the mobility of zinc and magnesium to form precipitate."
