| Summary: | Diesel locomotive are manufactured to facilitate human work, so it is expected
that the components are designed effectively and efficiently and use quality and
durable materials. Nowadays many manufacturers of auto spareparts are popping
up by offering a selling price of 50% to 100% with quality competing from other
spare parts. Therefore, each plant that produces Connecting Rod has different
properties so it is necessary to conduct research of connecting rod selection in
accordance with the specifications, especially material specifications. This study
begins with a study of literature derived from books and journals related to this
research. Then the OES test to determine the element composition of the
specimen. After that was done a micro vickers hardness test. Finally, microstructure
observation of the specimen was observed. From the results of research
that has been done, it can be concluded several things, the type of material used is
medium carbon steel AISI 1040. Then the manufacturing process used is forging.
And after comparison with the literature, connecting rod components have been in
accordance with the material specifications that can be used.
