This research aims to design an induction heating system and to investigate the effect of power supply and specimen diameter on specimen temperature and frequency on the coil. This study began with the development of an induction heating system that made use of circulating coolers outfitted with Thermoelectric Cooler Materials (TEC). It was intended to keep the temperature of the coil and the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) as low as possible. This study used AISI 4140 steel material with diameter variations of 7 mm, 14 mm, 21 mm, and 28 mm, with power levels of 60 W, 240 W, 540 W, and 960 W. The temperature was measured using a thermocouple connected to the specimen, and the frequency value obtained was measured using an oscilloscope. The research findings show that varying the applied power affects the frequency of the coil and the temperature of the specimen, with the higher the power, the faster the temperature of the specimen rises. The 60 W power can heat the specimen at an average temperature of 470°C and a frequency of 102 kHz. When the power variation is 960 W, the temperature in the specimen is 746°C, and the frequency is 110 kHz. On the temperature and frequency gradient pattern in the 0-600 s period, there are two stages, the first of which is ferromagnetic and the second of which is paramagnetic.

This research aims to determine the effect of the panel configuration which has the strongest resistance and to analyze the ballistic toughness of the Al2O3 and Weldox 460 E Steel panel configurations. The criteria to be looked for are the Depth of Penetration, Deflection and Final Projectile Length. To determine the accuracy of this study, a verification of the simulation research previously conducted by Dey et al. The method used is based on simulation with the finite element method. The software used is ANSYS/Explicit Dynamic solver AUTODYN 18.1. The modeling used in this study is simplified into 2D Axisymmetric. Alumina and Weldox 460 E steel panel configuration variations that will be used in this study. There are 7 variations of the panel configuration used, namely B12, A5B5, A5B10, A10B5, A10B10, A12B12 and A15B15. Alumina material as the front panel, while Weldox 460 E as the back panel. In calculating the mechanical behavior of the material, while the Alumina material uses the Johnson Holmquist (JH2) Strength parameter. And then, the Weldox 460 E material uses Johnson and Cook parameters. The results obtained indicate that the A12B12 and A15B15 panel configurations are able to withstand projectiles. The A12B12 panel configuration has a depth of penetration value of 23 mm, a deflection value of 4.3 mm and a Vbl value of 954.69 m/s. while the best panel configuration is A15B15 with a depth of penetration value of 21 mm, a deflection value of 1.4 mm and a Vbl value of 1345.9 m/s. then the conclusion of this study shows that the A15B15 panel configuration is the best panel configuration that is able to withstand projectiles.
