The characteristics of the Fe-10.5Mn-1.3Mo-2.5Ni steel alloy results of casting were further investigated after a heat treatment process was carried out through 2 stages, namely heating from room temperature to 700 ° C with a holding time of 3 hours, then raising it again to a temperature of 1000 ° C. with variations in holding time for 1 hour, 2 hours, and 3 hours followed by quenchant in water and 1.5% NaCl  solution. The results showed that heat treatment followed by water quenching has produced higher hardness up to 2 hours holding time and subsequently decreased at longer holding time.. Meanwhile, the hardness value gradually increased with a longer holding time in 1.5% NaCl solution cooling process. The highest hardness value reached 235 BHN at the 2 hours holding time followed by water cooling. The results of the impact value of water and NaCl 1.5% varied. In water, the holding time of 1 hour increased at the holding time of 2 hours and decreased at the holding time of 3 hours. Meanwhile, in 1.5% NaCl, the highest value of holding time is 1 hour, then it decreases at 2 hours holding time and increases in 3 hours holding time. The highest impact value of 101 Joule was resulted in heat treatment with 1 hour holding time followed by 1.5 NaCl solution rapid cooling. The microstructure showed that undissolved carbides which dispersed at the grain boundaries and within the grains affecting on high hardness value.
Baja mangan austenitik merupakan baja yang digunakan secara luas pada industri tambang dan mineral karena memiliki ketahanan aus dan ketangguhan yang tinggi. Secara umum, baja mangan austenitik yang dibuat melalui proses pengecoran memiliki kecenderungan getas dengan ketangguhan yang rendah karena terbentuknya formasi karbida. Proses solution treatment diikuti dengan pendinginan cepat menjadi hal penting untuk melarutkan karbida sehingga menjamin terbentuknya struktur full austenit pada temperatur kamar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh variasi holding time dan media pendingin pada proses solution treatment terhadap kekerasan dan ketangguhan paduan baja Fe12Mn1.5Mo. Pada penelitian ini, karakteristik baja Fe12Mn1.5Mo hasil cor diinvestigasi lebih lanjut setelah dilakukan proses solution treatment dalam dua tahap, yaitu memanaskan dari temperatur ruang sampai 700oC dengan holding time 3 jam, kemudian dinaikkan sampai temperatur 1000 oC dengan variasi holding time selama 1 jam, 2 jam dan 3 jam diikuti dengan quenching menggunakan 3 media pendingin berbeda (air, larutan garam 1.5% dan 3%). Pada pendinginan menggunakan larutan garam 1.5% dan 3% menunjukkan bahwa semakin lama holding time, maka nilai kekerasan dan nilai impak juga semakin meningkat. Sementara itu, spesimen yang didinginkan menggunakan air menghasilkan nilai yang berfluktuasi untuk kedua sifat mekanik. Nilai kekerasan tertinggi sebesar 344 BHN pada variasi holding time 2 jam diikuti dengan pendinginan air, sementara nilai impak tertinggi sebesar 73.7 J/cm2 dihasilkan pada variasi holding time 1 jam dengan pendinginan air. Nilai impak terendah sebesar 48.8 J/cm2 dihasilkan pada variasi holding time 1 jam dengan pendinginan larutan garam 3%. Hasil metalografi menunjukkan bahwa struktur mikro matriks austenit yang mengakibatkan nilai kekerasan yang rendah sedangkan karbida tak terlarut yang terdispersi di batas butir dan di dalam butir yang mengakibatkan nilai kekerasan yang tinggi. Di sisi lain, Proses solution treatment yang berlangsung kurang sempurna berakibat pada menurunnya ketangguhan karena terbentuknya presipitasi karbida.
STUDY ON THE EFFECT OF COMPOSITION AND VARIATION OF Sn/Zn COOLING MEDIA ON NICKEL ALLOY STEEL THROUGH HOT FORGING AND AUSTEMPERING. Laterite steel with nickel content is expected to be a solution to overcome the lack of domestic steel availability and dependence on imports. This research was conducted to develop Nickel-Chromium-Molybdenum alloy steel used Grinding ball for cement industrial applications. Grinding ball is the one of imported steel products needed to be crushing and size reduction the ores or cement. In addition to import issues, grinding balls have a significant problem: their mechanical properties that do not meet SNI 1049 require the material to have a minimum hardness value of 45 HRC. In this study, the characteristics of Nickel alloy steel were investigated further through heat treatment of forgings heated at the austenitizing temperature of 950 °C and austempering with variations in the cooling medium of Sn/Zn solution. The cooling medium was chosen because it has a melting temperature in the phase diagram area to form the bainite microstructure with complex and challenging characteristics, both of which are required in material for grinding ball applications. In particular, the hardness value that passed the SNI 1069 standard was the use of samples with a Cr-Mo alloy of 1%-wt with a hardness value of 45.92 HRC for Sn Austemper and 48.07 HRC for Zn austemper.
