Perlakuan panas adalah pemanasan yang diikuti dengan penahanan dan pendinginan menggunakan media quenching. Pengerasan adalah pemanasan logam hingga suhu austenit, tahan pada suhu tersebut untuk sementara waktu dan kemudian didinginkan pada media pendinginan seperti air, minyak, udara, air garam. Untuk mengatasi perubahan sifat mekanik, perlu diberikan proses perlakuan panas. Hal ini perlu dilakukan untuk menghilangkan stress internal dan mencegah terjadinya retak atau cacat. Sifat mekanis ketangguhan adalah kemampuan material untuk menyerap energi sesaat sebelum terjadi fraktur pada struktur itu. Penelitian ini membahas tentang prediksi ketangguhan properti mekanik dengan memberikan pemanasan pada temperatur 800, 850 dan 9000C dan masing-masing specimen  diquenching dengan : air tawar, air laut dan minyak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terjadi peningkatan sifat ketangguhan dari efek temperatur dan media pendinginan yang digunakan. Data menunjukan pada 8000C dengan media quenching minyak nilai ketangguhan adalah 33,833 kg/cm2, serta suhu 9000C dengan quenching media air nilai ketangguhan adalah 40,8747 kg/cm2). Jadi semakin meningkat temperature perlakuan,  berpengaruh terhadap sifat ketangguhan impak bahan. Heat treatment is carried out by heating followed by anchoring and using quenching medium as cooling. Hardening is metal heating to austenite temperature, hold it at a temporary temperature and then cooled to cooling media such as water, oil, air, brine. To overcome the change of mechanical properties, need to be given process of heat treatment. This is to remove internal stress and prevent the occurrence of cracks or defects. The mechanical properties of toughness are the ability of the material to absorb energy without fracturing the structure. This study discusses the prediction of toughness of mechanical properties by heating at temperatures of 800, 850 and 9000C and each specimen quenching with: freshwater, seawater and oil. The results showed that there was an increase in the toughness properties of the temperature effect and the cooling medium used. The data show on 8000C with medium quenching oil the toughness value is 33.833 kg/cm2, and the temperature of 9000C with quenching medium water toughness value is 40.8747 kg/cm2). So the increasing of treatment temperature has influence to the material toughness

<p class="Abstract">Characteristics of composite materials that are light, strong, heat resistant, and high hardness are needed in their application. This study aims to obtain a hard material and good heat conductivity, with the innovation of making aluminum matrix composites (AMC) from aluminum powder as a matrix, combined with silicon-carbon whisker (SiCw) and alumina particles (Al₂O₃p), and adding Magnesium through the powder process metallurgy. The method of making composites was carried out by means of powder metallurgy. The research variables composition I, II, and II with Al/(SiCw+Al₂O₃/Mg), were given temperature treatment: 500, 550, and 600^oC. The test results show that there is an increase in the mechanical properties of the composites both from variations in composition and also from variations in treatment temperature because the bond resulting from the addition of Al₂O₃ reinforcement has hard and fine grain properties. The physical and mechanical properties of the test results are in the form of the highest density at composition I, 600^oC (2,699 gr/cm³) while the hardness at composition III is 600^oC (42,438 HV) and heat conductivity at composition III, 600^oC (185,183 Watt/m.^oC). Scanning with SEM showed that the pore size decreased from the treatment temperature of 500^oC to 600^oC due to phase changes and a stronger bond between the matrix and the reinforcement. So that the influence of composition and temperature will affect the thermal conductivity, hardness, and density of the composites.</p>
