Material of
Composite Manufacturing Materials used in this study are
as follows: a. Coconut shell charcoal powder
Coconut shell charcoal in the first drying until water content is known
to be
8-10. Coconut shell
charcoal is used to create a composite thickness of 20mm.
By using a microscope, it is known
diameter of coconut shell charcoal powder. Of the test results, the
average diameter of the powder obtained by
11.98
.

3.3 Tools Preparation
The tools used in this study are: a. Water Content Test Device
Water content test device used to measure the moisture content of
coconut shell charcoal.
Figure 7. Water Content Test b. Digital Scales
Digital scales are the scales used to weigh the powder of coconut
shell charcoal and fox glue matrix PVAC.
Figure 8. Digital Scales c. Specimen dies
1. Sound Absorption dies Dies are
used for sound absorption tests are made of
sheet plate with a length of 1000 mm, width 500 mm,
thickness 3 mm and in the bulkhead into 3 sections with 33
mm size of the plate length.

The dies made from teak wood. The size of 150x40x60 mm
used for impact test, whereas for bending test is 150x60x60
mm.

d. Tool presses of dies This press mold is used to help the
manufacturing process
of composite. The press tool made of
metal with diagonal of 40x40 mm.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 4.1 Impact Test
The composite impact test use charpy method that is done by making
the specimen in accordance with the standard
ASTM D 256-00.

10 Table 1. Impact Test
From the table above can be created
histogram from
average energy absorption and the average
impact value composite coconut shell charcoal powder with various volume
fractions of 40, 50 and 60 with PVAC glue matrix.
Diagram 1. average energy absorption and the average impact value
composite coconut shell charcoal powder
In the histogram above shows that the highest average at impact
number is 40 volume fraction of 0.0100 J mm ² and the lowest
average impact number is 60 volume fraction of 0.0063 J mm ²
