Abstract
The study aimed to analyze the effect of adding coal powder to the AA6061 liquid, which was re-melted into a steel cylinder tube mold. The results of this addition are then given heat treatment solution treatment and artificial aging. The molten aluminium is poured into a cylindrical tube at a temperature of around 660 °C so that the fine coal is burned and mixed with the aluminium alloy. To determine how significant the effect of adding coal powder was, tensile testing and impact testing were carried out. The addition of coal powder increases the material’s tensile strength but decreases the ability of the material to accept impact loads. Heat treatment generally increases the strength of the material, and so does the ability to accept impact loads.

Keywords
AA6061, Coal powder, Casting, Tensile strength, and Impact.
