"In the present study, natural fibers located in thick outer woody rinds of the metroxylon sago (MS) tree were investigated. The investigation focused on measuring the mechanical propertiesand observing the microstructures of MS fibers before and after treatment with 5% sodium hydroxide. A scanning electron microscope was used to observe the microstructure of MS fiber,and the results showed that there was a decrease infiber diameter after mercerization. A porousstructure in the cross-section area of untreated fibers was clearly seen, and it was highly compressed after mercerization. The strength of MS fiber increased significantly after it wastreated by 5% NaOH solution for two hours. The average ultimate strength of untreated MS fiber was recorded as 46 MPa; treatment with sodium hydroxide resulted in a significantincrease in average ultimate strength to 163 MPa. Additionally, the elastic modulus of treated fiber was greater than that of untreated fiber."

"Magnesium memiliki nilai massa jenis lebih ringan diantara logam-logam komoditi penyuplai industri otomotif lainnya yaitu 1,74 gr/cm3.

Magnesium has a lighter density value than other commodity metals supplying the automotive industry, namely 1.74 gr/cm3. The weight of magnesium itself is 30% lighter for aluminum and 70% for steel. Improvement of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of Mg-Al-Zn alloys can be made intrinsically by adding alloying elements, heat treatment, and modification of fabrication techniques. The improvement of the mechanical properties of the alloy (90-x)Mg9AlZnxCa was carried out by adding elements of Ca with varying concentrations (0; 1; 1.5 and 2% by weight) with the fabrication technique of making alloys (90-x)Mg-9Al-1Zn-xCa through Thixoforming metal casting semi-solid process is a vital parameter to produce an automotive component product. The samples tested had multiple phases: the a-Mg phase with the Hexagonal space group P63/mmc crystal structure, the second phase β-Mg17Al12 cubic crystal structure with the space group I-m43 m, and the Al2Ca phase included in the cubic crystal structure with the space group Fd-3m. The SEM-EDS results show that the formation of the Al2Ca phase at the grain boundaries can inhibit the growth of new grains and reduce the formation of the β-Mg17Al12 phase.

In the sample addition of Ca one wt.%, there was a decrease in the mass fraction of the a-Mg phase and an increase in the mass fraction of the β-Mg17Al12 phase. The samples with the addition of Ca 1.5 and 2 wt.% showed a decrease in the mass fraction of the a-Mg and β-Mg17Al12 phases and the formation of a new phase, namely the Al2Ca phase. In the sample of 1 wt.% Ca, the thixoforming process resulted in a decrease in the mass fraction of the a-Mg phase, while the mass fraction of the β-Mg17Al12 phase experienced a significant increase. The sample with the addition of Ca 1.5 and 2 wt.% showed a decrease in the mass fraction of the a-Mg and β-Mg17Al12 phases and an increase in the formation of a new phase, namely the Al2Ca phase. The highest hardness produced in 1% by weight of Ca sample after thixoforming and aging (T6) for 20 hours was 92.48 BHN. In the grain measurement using the Jeffries method, the grains are refined to 17µm"

"Penelitian ini didasari oleh terjadinya fenomena crack pada komponen bucket tooth, yang yang menggunakan material baja HSLA, setelah 1 bulan diproduksi, yang disebut dengan delayed crack. Penelitian ini akan berfokus terhadap proses perlakuan panas, khususnya tempering setelah normalisasi. Tempering dilakukan selama 1 jam dengan variabel temperatur tempering pada temperatur 527, 577, 627, dan 677°C. Sampel pengujian awalnya berupa keel block hasil normalisasi, yang kemudian dipotong menjadi balok dengan dimensi 4 x 1 x 4 cm. Karakterisasi dilakukan pada sampel as-normalize dan setelah ditempering, dimulai dari pengamatan struktur mikro menggunakan mikroskop optik, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), dan pengujian kekerasan mikro dan makro. Didapatkan bahwa tempering setelah normalisasi tidak hanya menghomogenisasi struktur mikro, tetapi juga mentransformasi fasa dari upper bainite menjadi granular bainite. Semua variabel temperatur tempering menghasilkan bentuk struktur mikro yang sama, berupa granular bainite. Seiring meningkatnya temperatur tempering setelah normalisasi, struktur mikro akan semakin membulat, ketajamannya akan semakin berkurang, kekerasan makro akan menurun dari 389 HVN menjadi 257 HVN, dan kekerasan mikro akan menurun dari 371 HVN menjadi 247 HVN.

This study is based on the occurrence of a phenomenon of crack on a bucket tooth component that used HSLA steel as a material after 1 month being produced, which is called delayed crack. This study will be focusing on its heat treatment process, especially tempering after normalizing. Tempering was carried out for 1 hour with variable tempering temperatures at 527, 577, 627, and 677°C. Initially, the sample was a normalized keel block, which was then cut into blocks with dimensions of 4 x 1 x 4 cm. Characterization was carried out on as normalize and after tempering samples, such as observing microstructure using Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), microhardness and macro hardness testing. It was found that tempering after normalizing not only homogenized the microstructure, but also transformed the phase from upper bainite to granular bainite. All tempering temperature variables produced the same microstructure, that is granular bainite. As the tempering temperature after normalizing increases, the microstructure will be increasingly rounded, the sharpness will be decreased, macro hardness decreased from 389 HVN to 257 HVN, and microhardness decreased from 371 HVN to 247 HVN."

ABSTRACTAluminum 6061 composites reinforced by SiC nanoparticles has been widely used for high performance applications with low denstity. In order to obtain a better performance, artificial aging is conducted to improve mechanical properties of composite. In this study, aging treatment was done with varying aging time: 2h, 4h, 6h, 8h, and 10h at 175 oC with solution treatment at 440 oC for 1h. The results showed that the optimum aging time was achieved by 10h with the highest hardness up to 66,22 HRB and wear rate reached the lowest value by 1,09 x 10-6 mm3/mm. Heat treatment process did not show a strong influence to tensile strength due to a porosity. OM and SEM observation exhibit α-Al and binary Mg2Si (Al+Mg2Si) phases, and intermetallic phases of β-Al2Mg3."

"The present study investigated the mechanical properties and microstructure of ultrafine grained (UFG) brass processed by four passes of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) and annealed at elevated temperatures. The mechanical properties of all samples were assessed using tensile and micro-hardness tests. Microstructure analysis was performed using optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Ultimate tensile strengths (UTS) and yield strengths (YS) of 878 and 804 MPa, respectively, ductility of 15%, and hardness of 248 HV were obtained for samples processed by four passes of ECAP with equivalent true strain of 4.20. Annealing at 300°C caused UTS and YS to decrease significantly, to 510 and 408 MPa, respectively, ductility to increase to 28%, and hardness to decrease to 165 HV. Fractography analysis of un-annealed samples after four ECAP passes showed small brittle fractures with shallow dimpling. Ductile failures were found on annealed samples. After four ECAP passes, the microstructure of un-annealed samples was UFG and dominated by lamellar grain with shear band. In contrast, after annealing, the microstructure changed due to recrystallization, showing nucleation and grain growth."

"Paduan Al-Zn-Mg (Seri 7xxx) telah banyak dikembangkan dalam berbagai aplikasi, terutama dalam industri penerbangan sebab memiliki kekerasan yang tinggi sementara densitasnya rendah. Paduan tersebut umumnya diperkuat melalui perlakuan penuaan, di mana terjadi difusi atom-atom Zn dan Mg dari larutan padat sangat jenuh sehingga terbentuk presipitat metastabil. Selain itu, paduan dapat diperkuat pula dengan penambahan Ti yang akan memperhalus butir. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh Ti dalam penguatan presipitasi paduan Al-5.1Zn-1.8Mg-0.4Ti (% berat) pada berbagai temperatur. Paduan ini dibuat dengan proses squeeze casting. Kemudian dilakukan homogenisasi pada temperatur 400 oC selama 4 jam dan laku pelarutan pada 440 oC selama 1 jam yang dilanjutkan dengan pencelupan air hingga temperatur ruang. Penuaan dilakukan pada temperatur 90, 130 dan 200 oC selama 200 jam. Untuk mengetahui respon penuaan, dilakukan pengujian kekerasan Rockwell, sementara itu perubahan struktur mikro diamati dengan menggunakan Mikroskop Optik dan Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) - Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kekerasan tertinggi dihasilkan setelah penuaan di temperatur 90 oC, bahkan pada temperatur ini, kekerasan terus meningkat setelah 200 jam. Semakin tinggi temperatur penuaan, semakin rendah kekerasan puncak yang dihasilkan, tapi waktu yang dibutuhkan untuk mencapai kekerasan puncak akan berkurang. Penambahan Ti diketahui dapat menahan penguatan dengan memperlambat kinetika presipitasi melalui penurunan jumlah kekosongan kompleks zat terlarut. Urutan presipitasi yang terbentuk adalah GP zone  ƞ?  ƞ (MgZn2).

Al-Zn-Mg alloys (7xxx series Al alloys) have been widely used in many applications, especially in aerospace industry because of their high strength and low density. These alloys are commmonly hardened upon ageing treatment, in which diffusion of Zn and Mg atoms from super saturated solid solution results in formation of metastable precipitates. To further increase the strength of the alloys, Ti is added to decrease the grain size. The objective of this study is to investigate the role of Ti in the precipitation strengthening of Al-5Zn-1.8Mg-0.4Ti (wt.%) alloy.

The alloy was fabricated by squeeze casting process. Then, the alloy was homogenized at 400 oC for 4 hours. Subsequent solution treatment was employed at 440 oC for 1 hour and followed by water quenching to room temperature. The ageing was conducted at 90, 130 and 200 oC for 200 hours. The ageing response was followed by Rockwell hardness testing, while the microstructural evolution was observed by using Optical Microscope (OM) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) - Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS).

The results showed that the highest hardness was achieved after ageing at 90 oC, and even at this temperature, the hardness remained increase after 200 h of ageing. The higher the ageing temperature, the lower the achieved peak hardness but the time needed to peak hardness reduced. Addition of Ti retarded the strengthening by slowering kinetics of precipitation through decreasing number of solute-vacancy complexes. The suggested major precipitation sequence was GP zones  ƞ?  ƞ (MgZn2)."

"ABSTRAKPerkembangan biomaterial berbasis Mg dan Fe dalam satu dekade terakhir telah dipelajari secara ekstensif sebagai material biodegradable untuk aplikasi medis. Namun perkembangan material ini mengalami keterbatasan atau stagnan dalam hal kesesuaiannya untuk aplikasi klinis. Dalam tiga tahun terakhir, paduan berbasis Zn mulai menjadi alternatif untuk diteliti sebagai pengganti biomaterial berbasis Mg dan Fe. Paduan berbasis Zn memiliki laju degradasi yang sedang namun memiliki sifat mekanik yang rendah, sehingga perlu ditambahkan unsur lain untuk memperbaiki sifat mekaniknya. Pada penelitian ini unsur yang ditambahkan yaitu zirkonium (Zr) dengan variasi komposisi sebesar 0.5%, 1%, dan 2%. Metode pemaduan yang digunakan yaitu pengecoran dengan temperatur sebesar 550°C. Dari hasil analisa struktur mikro, penambahan Zr pada paduan Zn akan membentuk presipitat di pinggiran dekat dengan batas butir dan semakin banyak kadar Zr yang ditambahkan, ukuran butir yang terbentuk semakin kecil. Ukuran butir dari Zn murni sampai penambahan 2%Zr secara berurutan yaitu 266.40µm, 20.16µm, 16.70µm, 15.85µm. Dari hasil analisa XRD, penambahan Zr sebesar 0.5%, 1%, 2%, akan membentuk fasa Zn dan fasa Zn22Zr. Nilai kekerasan yang dihasilkan dari Zn murni sampai penambahan 2%Zr secara berurutan yaitu 35.162HV, 41.988HV, 42.324HV, 57.112HV. Semakin banyak kadar Zr yang ditambahkan pada paduan Zn maka nilai kekerasan yang dihasilkan semakin besar.

ABSTRACTThe development of Mg and Fe based biomaterials in the past decade has been extensively studied as biodegradable material for medical applications. The development of this material is limited or stagnant in terms of suitability for clinical applications. In the past three years ago, Zn-based alloys began to be an alternative to be studied as a substitute for Mg and Fe based biomaterials. Zn-based alloys have a moderate degradation rate but have a low mechanical properties, so other elements need to be added to improve their mechanical properties. In this study the added element is zirconium (Zr) with a composition variation of 0.5%, 1%, and 2%. The alloying method used is casting with a temperature of 550°C. The results of the microstructure analysis, the addition of Zr to Zn alloys will form precipitates in the side the grain boundaries and more addition of Zr composition, the smaller grain size formed. The grain size from pure Zn until the addition of 2% Zr in sequence are 266.40µm, 20.16µm, 16.70µm, 15.85µm. The XRD analysis, from addition of Zr of 0.5%, 1%, 2%, will form the Zn phase and the intermetallic phase Zn22Zr. The hardness value obtained from pure Zn until 2% Zr in sequence are 35.162HV, 41.988HV, 42.324HV, 57.112HV. The more Zr composition are added to the Zn alloy, the greater value of the hardness formed."
