Abstract :
This research is intended to know the physical and mechanical characteristic of
castings aluminum brake shoe mixture and the remaining gram of machining by
comparing specimens and specimens before and after casting independently or
without mixture. Mixed concentration in the study 50% for aluminum brake shoe
waste (brake shoe) and 50% for the remaining gram of machining. From each
specimen a chemical composition test, micro photo testing, brinell test, tensile test
were performed. Composition contained in brake shoe specimens after casting Al
84.696%, Si 10.63%, gram remaining specimens after casting Al 90.45%, Si
3.989%, Brakek shoe mix specimens and the remaining gram of machinery shows
Element Al 88.449%, Si 7.684%. Hardness on brake shoe before casting 18.26
BHN, after casting 20.08 BHN, hardness on remaining gram of machining before
casting 20.92 BHN, after casting 21.14 BHN, and for casting result of aluminum
mix of brake shoe and residual waste Gram of 18.28 BHN machining. The value
of tensile test for aluminum brake shoe (brake shoe) with a strains value of 96.22
N / mm2, strains 6.6%. Result of tensile test of gram after machining casting with
value of strains 228.19 N / mm2, strains 21.5%, and for casting result of
aluminum brake shoe mixture and remaining gram of machining with strains
value 122.55 N / mm2 , Strains 3.6%
