"Penggunaan Austempered Ductile Iron atau ADI sebagai material alternatif semakin meningkat di dunia, baik dari sektor industri otomotive maupun bidang lainnya salah satunya di bidang pertahanan dan keamanan. Material ADI tidak tergolong dalam material ringan, light weight, tetapi dengan fleksibilitas design yang dimilikinya ADI dapat bersaing dengan logam lain yang lebih ringan diantaranya Aluminium dan paduannya. Penelitian ini merupakan bagian dari suatu rangkaian penelitian material untuk untuk menghasilkan thin wall austempered ductile iron (TWADI).Pada penelitian ini pertama-tama akan dilakukan proses pengecoran FCD450 dengan ketebalan 5, 4mm. Proses pengecoran yang digunakan yaitu pengecoran vertikal (soundness casting) dengan model P1T1 yang akan di bandingkan dengan model P5T1 dimana pada model P5T1 ini dilakukan proses permesinan (surface grinding) untuk menghilangkan lapisan kulit skin effect pada permukaan plat TWDI yang dihasilkan, sehingga sifat mekanis tidak terganggu serta meminimalisasi terjadinya kegagalan baik akibat konsentrasi tegangan dan distorsi yang ada dari benda cor.Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa kekuatan tarik meningkat seiring di hilangkannya lapisan kulit (skin effect) oleh proses permesinan dalam hal ini Surface Grinding Machine. Pada plat dengan ketebalan 4mm dengan UTS 328.1(N/mm2) menjadi 460(N/mm2) dan pada plat 5mm dengan UTS389.6(N/mm2) menjadi 420 (N/mm2).

The use of Austempered Ductile Iron or ADI as an alternative material in the automotive industry and other industries such as national defence and military are increased recently. Although the ADI material does not fall into the category of light weight material, its design flexibility makes it competitive with other lighter metals like aluminum and its alloys.

The purpose of this research is to study the effect of surface grinding on thin wall ductile iron (TWDI) which is prepared as TWADI base material, that was produced by casting FCD450 five (5) and four (4) mm in thickness using soundness casting. There were two types of models used in this soundness casting: P1T1 and P5T1. The difference between these two models lay on the machining process after casting in which P5T1 applied surface grinding to remove the skin effect on the TWDI surface. This step is beneficial to minimalize the possibility of failure resulted from either stress concentration or distorsion.

The results showed that tensile strength increased when the skin effect was removed by machining process, in this case was by surface grinding machine. The tensile strength of plate 4 mm and 5 mm in diameter increased from UTS 328.1 N/mm2 to 460 N/mm2 and from UTS389.6 N/mm2 to 420 N/mm2, respectively."

Recent world energy condition obligates people to reduce quantity of energy useement especially ini casting process. Uses of Thin Wall Austempered Ductile Iron (TWADI), which is a heat treatment material from Thin Wall Ductile Iron (TWDI) , become a best candidate to replace aluminium in industry due to the fact of its high quality toughness and another mechanical properties, with low producing cost and also low energy production. One of the most issue that have been met in processing TWDI is a phenomenon that nodular graphites turn into flakes shape which will decrease large amount of mechanical properties.

This research is studying about the enhacement of content nodulizer for reducing skin thickness and also to increase mechanical properties. The addition of 1,1 % nodulizer that obtained shown an effective result with reducing 11 % thickness of skin compared to the thickness of addition 1 % nodulizer. The thickness of skin with addition 1,1% nodulizer is 40 µm, while with addition 1 % nodulizer is 45 µm. The UTS number that has been reached by 1,1 % nodulizer is 416,5 % MPa, which is bigger than the UTS of 1 % nodulizer in the amount of 387,54 MPa which also as a result of grater nodularity of 1,1 % nodulizer. The elongation of both sample have elongation below 10 %, as result of carbides that have been formed in the microstructure, because of excessive number of manganese."

"In producing Thin Wall Ductile Iron (TWDI) plate, special notice should be taken on the skin effect formation. Skin effect is a rim of flake interdendritic graphite formed in the surface. In a normal ductile iron casting, skin effect can be removed with machining process. Unfortunately this procedure cannot be applied in TWDI due to the thickness. This paper discusses the effect of casting design to the skin effect formation. Vertical casting design is used in this work. Variations are made in the thicknesses of the plate. The T1 model is equipped with 5 plates with thicknesses of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 millimeters; while the T1-Mod is equipped also with 5 plates, but with the same thickness, which is 1 mm. Skin thicknesses, nodule count, and nodularity are measured by NIS Element software. The result showed that skin effect formation is determined by magnesium content and cooling rate. Skin effect thicknesses are determined by cooling rate and the interaction area of molten metal with the mould. The presence of the skin effect in similar thickness and position of plate improved nodule count. In the same thickness, without the presence of the skin effect, the nodule count tends to increase as the positions of the plates increase. In the design ranging from 1 to 5 mm plate thickness, the highest nodule count is 1284 nodule/mm2 gained by 1 mm plate thickness in 1st position and the lowest one is 512 nodule/mm2 gained by 5 mm plate thickness in 5th position. As for the design of all 1 mm thickness where skin effect is not formed the highest nodule count is 1689 nodule/mm2 gained by 1 mm plate thickness in the 5th position and the lowest is 1113 nodule/mm2 gained by 1 mm plate thickness in the 1st position (near the in gate). The highest nodule count is 90 and the smallest is 85."
