Aluminum alloy continues to increase from year to year. It is seen from the order of the use of aluminum alloy metal which ranks second only to the use of metallic iron or steel, and comes out first for non ferrous metals [14]. Data on the number of vehicles in Indonesia in 2005 reached 38,156,278 28,556,498 consisting of two wheels and four wheels 9.55978 million [12]. If the rough calculations that the replacement of damaged pistons are made from aluminum alloys of 3-4% every year multiplied by the number of vehicles, the number 3 piston 2,255,017 ounces multiplied the average weight of the piston, so the weight of the total amount of the replaced piston is 6765.5 tons. If one ton of aluminum at a price $ 3,305 means the total amount of US $ 2,235,849 (USD 23 billion), if Indonesia can use the piston recycling could save 23 billion. In addition, the use of recycled piston can also save the use of aluminum ore supplies are limited in nature.
Aims and objectives of this research is to utilize the former piston to be recycled into new pistons with cast iron insertion method and a low carbon steel. Studies in this research include knowing how big a percentage of the material to vary the piston former ADC material 12 which can be used in the recycling process, observed from some penyisip who has the best strength of the interface shear testing between two metals, determine how much the presentation of the ADC 12 influence of the interface between the metal with some penyisip gravity casting process, and evaluate the mechanical properties (hardness, shear strength, composition, and microstructure) piston recycled to produce optimal properties. The benefits derived from this study is able to increase the use of waste as a former piston recycled materials for the manufacture of quality new piston and the potential acquisition of Intellectual Property Rights patent regime.
