Abstract

The main purpose for this research is to determine whether the oil that used for lubrication during stamping process at Miyazu (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. is causing the defect such as dent on its product. The main study for this research is to study the impurities or contamination in the oil that used as lubricating in stamping process. In order to achieve this, the study should be based on the foreign particle that is present in the lubricating oil using the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-iR) technique. This research emphasizes the analysis of contaminant level of oil based on the cycles or times of usage using FT-iR. This research will enhance the information of the level of oil contaminants in each cycle. The main objective of this study is to identify and determine whether the lubricating oil used during the stamping process at Miyazu (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. is the main cause of defect such as dentist like on their components. Various oil samples from different stamping line will be scanned using the FT-iR and compared with the clean oil sample to identify the foreign particle that is present in the oil sample. The particle will then be analyzed quantitatively by using FT-iR to determine whether there is a relation between the numbers of defect on each machine with its present. After the contamination in the oil had been analyzed, we need to recognize what is the contamination occur in the oil, where the contamination come out and how to prevent the contamination from occur again into the oil. The analysis had been done according to the ASTME-2412 standard for petroleum crankcase lubricant. The analysis is based on analyze the water content, soot loading, oxidation, nitration, antiwear components, ethylene glycol and sulfate by product. The result from the analysis show that the oil added with chips from the compartment product is the greatest contaminated according to the standard. This show that the filtration used is not capable to filter the contaminated particle to enter the lubricant oil again.
