Abstract

Basically, this report about knows the current material use for brake pedal in industry nowadays. In selecting the material, there are two ways have been use; first is using the finding information and next is using CES software. From the finding information about current material for brake pedal, the material that has been found out is low alloy steel. All the properties for low alloy steel need to be use in CES software to find the nearly material to that material. There are an explanations about low alloy steel properties, the element in low alloy steels, heat treatment and advantages of that material also some explanation on how brake pedal function. Today, with more materials than ever before, the opportunities for innovation are immense. But advance is possible only if a procedure exists for making a rational choice. This project use Ashby method as a reference to develops a systematic procedure for selecting materials and processes, leading to the subset which best match the requirements of a design. It is unique in the way the information it contains has been structured. The structure gives rapid access to data and allows the user great freedom in exploring the potential of choice. The method is available as software, giving greater flexibility. There are four main steps in selecting the material, which call translation (includes function, constraints, objective and free variables), screening (eliminate the material that cannot do the job at all), ranking which mean how far the material that passed the test can do their job, and supporting information for all the material that in logic range. In this project, the Finite Element Analysis also use for analyze the strength of the material chooses.
