ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful. First and
foremost, I thank to Allah giving me the opportunity to complete my thesis successfully.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude towards
Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FKM), Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka
(UTeM) and Mr. Ahmad Kamal Bin Mat Yamin as a supervisor of Projek Sarjana Muda
(PSM) subject for final year student, thanks for his guidance about the illumination in
doing the PSM. Special million thanks to my supervisor, Pn Nortazi binti Sanusi for her
consistent supervision, guidance, support and encouragement throughout this research. I
also want to show my appreciation to Pn Rafidah bt Hasan and Pn Zakiah bt Abdul
Halim for their information, guidance and advice on heat treatment process.
Last but not least and not forget, thanks to my family and friend, all the FKM
lecturers, technician, FKM Office staff, UTeM library staff and anybody who get
involved during my project for their continuous patience in supporting and guiding me
for this research.

ABSTRAK
Kajian ini mementingkan dan meliputi perkara berkaitan dengan kesan-kesan
rawatan haba terhadap besi tahan karat yang digunakan bagi tujuan pembuatan jam.
Proses rawatan haba yang sesuai bagi besi tahan karat adalah proses menyepuh lindap
dan melindap menggunakan air. Menyepuh lindap adalah proses di mana bahan
didedahkan kepada suhu piawai bahan yang digunakan dan didedahkan dalam masa
yang panjang. Tujuan melindap pula adalah untuk menurunkan suhu besi tahan karat
tersebut untuk tujuan ujian mekanikal. Besi tahan karat perlu dilindap di dalam air
secara pantas supaya tiada tindak balas kimia akan berlaku dan menyebabkan kesan
sampingan kepada ciri-ciri fizikal besi tahan karat tersebut. Suhu yang digunakan untuk
proses menyepuh lindap besi tahan karat adalah dalam linkungan 1010ºC dan 1121ºC
dan didedahkan kepada haba didalam relau pembakaran selama 1 jam dan 30 minit.
Kajian dalam projek ini juga adalah bertujuan untuk mengetahui ciri-ciri besi tahan karat
selepas proses rawatan haba. Ujian mekanikal dan analisis yang sesuai digunakan untuk
kegunaan jam telah dipilih. Ujian dan analisis tersebut ialah Ujian Hentaman Charpy,
Ujian Kekerasan Rockwell dan menggunakan Mikroskop Optik untuk menganalisis
struktur mikro bagi besi tahan karat selepas dan sebelum proses rawatan haba. Projek ini
bermula dengan tinjauan terhadap maklumat literatur sehingga mengendali kerja-kerja
makmal terhadap bahan dengan melakukan proses menyepuh lindap yang berbeza suhu
dan masa. Hasil daripada kajian ini adalah analisis statistik meggunakan Ujian F dan
Ujian T berdasarkan parameter yang digunakan di dalam proses rawatan haba. Akhir
sekali, pemerhatian terhadap struktur mikro akan dilakukan untuk mengetahui
hubungannya terhadap proses rawatan haba.

ABSTRACT
This research concerned on the effect of heat treatment of stainless steel for
watch manufacturing application which are annealing and water quenching. Annealing is
the process that material is exposing to the standard material temperature in a long
period of time. The purpose of the cooling process is to ensure the material get higher
hardness and to low the temperature of material for use in mechanical testing. Stainless
steel needs rapid cooling in water so that no chemical reaction get involve and affect the
physical properties of stainless steel. The temperature range that use for annealing
process is 1010ºC to 1121ºC and exposed in furnace about 1 hour and 30 minutes. This
research also done to investigated the behaviour of stainless steel after heat treatment
process. The suitable mechanical testing and analysis have been chosen. They are
Charpy Impact Test, Rockwell Hardness Test and using Optical Microscope to study the
microstructure of stainless steel before and after heat treatment. This project begins with
literature review on subject topic and following by laboratory work on the material with
different annealing temperature and annealing time. Statistically analysis using F-Test
and T-test will be done according to the experiment parameter on heat treatment process.
Finally microstructure observation will be done to predict the relationship with the heat
treatment process.
