"Salah satu bagian krusial pada investment casting ialah pembuatan cetakan keramik. Permasalahan yang terdapat pada cetakan keramik antara lain seringnya terjadi kegagalan saat proses penghilangan lilin, permeabilitas cetakan yang kurang, dan lamanya proses pengeringan lapisan slurry keramik. Untuk itu dilakukan penelitian pengaruh penambahan serat nilon (0, 10, 20 dan 30 gr/l) kedalam slurry cetakan keramik dengan tujuan mengetahui karakteristik cetakan dan produk cor akibat penambahan nilon pada slurry cetakan keramik. Karakterisasi pada sampel keramik berupa pengujian 3-point bending, sudut, porositas dan pengamatan SEM. Untuk produk cor sudu turbin, digunakan paduan Al - 9 wt.% Zn – 4 wt.% Mg – 3 wt.% Cu menggunakan cetakan keramik 20 gr/l nilon. Karakteristik produk cor berupa pengujian kekerasan dan pengamatan foto mikro serta SEM.Dari hasil pengujian didapat bahwa penambahan nilon akan meningkatkan ketebalan terutama pada bagian sudut cetakan keramik dan juga porositas pada cetakan keramik, sampel yang tidak diberi tambahan nilon (0 gr/l) memiliki kekuatan yang lebih baik dibandingkan sampel yang diberi tambahan nilon (10, 20 dan 30 gr/l) baik itu pada bagian rata (flat) maupun pada bagian sudut pada sebelum maupun sesudah pembakaran. Pada produk cor, nilai kekerasan menggunakan cetakan keramik berpenguat nilon lebih rendah dibanding tak berpenguat nilon dikarenakan kehadiran porositas pada produk cor.

One of crucial part in investment casting is production of ceramic mould. The problems are found in the ceramic mould such us failure during wax removal, decrease of permeability and the long duration of drying process of the ceramic slurry coating. Following to this problems, the main discussion of this study was to analyse the effect of adding nylon fiber (0, 10, 20 and 30 gr/l) into ceramic slurry to the characteristics of mould and as cast product. Characterization of ceramic mould included 3-point bending testing, edge testing, porosity testing and SEM. For as cast product, the alloying element are Al – 9 wt.% Zn – 4 wt.% Mg – 3 wt.% Cu by ceramic mould with addition of 20 gr/l of nylon. Characterization of as cast product included hardness testing and observation of microstructure by optical microscope and SEM.

The results show that the addition of nylon increases the thickness of ceramic mould, mainly at the edges as well as increases the porosity. Samples with no addition of nylon (0 gr/l) have higher strength than samples with nylon (10, 20 and 30 gr/l) both on flat and edge for green and fired condition. The hardness of the as cast product made by using ceramic mould with the nylon addition, is lower. This is due to the presence of porosity in the product."

Air pollutants from industrial and transportation activities contaminate the rainwater that falls in urban areas. Rainwater harvesting through the roof also affects the quality of the collected rainwater runoff. The filtration technique is one way that can be applied to improve the quality of rainwater. Zeolite, activated carbon, and ceramic filter media can improve the quality of harvested rainwater runoff. This study aims to analyze the quality of rainwater runoff through variations in the zeolite, activated carbon, and ceramic arrangement. Then, analyze the differences in the zeolite, activated carbon, and ceramic arrangement in improving the quality of rainwater runoff, and analyze the relationship between variations in the zeolite, activated carbon, and ceramic arrangement on the quality of rainwater runoff. This study uses three 10-inch factory housing filters in a parallel position—each housing filter filled with a 10-inch cartridge reactor containing filter media. The researcher conducted the study in a filtration reactor, with the object of study being variations in the filter media arrangement. The content of the filter media in the three filter housings will vary with each configuration. The configuration in this study consisted of three arrangements, namely Arrangement I (Zeolite – Activated Carbon – Ceramic), Arrangement II (Activated Carbon – Ceramic – Zeolite), and Arrangement III (Ceramic – Zeolite – Activated Carbon). Sampling was carried out six times with parameters tested for turbidity, pH, manganese, and total coliform. The results of this study indicated the effectiveness of the maximum removal of turbidity, manganese, and total coliforms as well as the maximum increase in pH owned by Arrangement I with the effectiveness of removing turbidity by 51.78%, manganese by 100%, and total coliforms 77.14%, and increasing pH by 21.05%. The average effectiveness of the removal of Arrangements I, II, and III for turbidity is 32.31%, -108.93%, and 17.41%, manganese 45.83%, 30%, and 87.5%, and total coliforms 67.93%, 72.28%, and 60.51%. Meanwhile, the average effectiveness of increasing Arrangement I, Arrangement II, and Arrangement III for pH is 10.7%, 10.3%, and 12.52%. Based on the comparative test, a significance value (p) <0.05 was obtained for all parameters, which means that variations in the arrangement resulted in differences in the quality of rainwater runoff. Based on the correlation test, the three arrangements did not have a significant relationship (p > 0.05) to turbidity, pH, and manganese parameters. However, they had a significant relationship (p < 0.05) to the total coliform parameter. Arrangement I had the best relationship to the parameters, with a very strong relationship on the total coliform parameter (r = 0,986), strong relationship on the manganese parameter (r = -0,674), medium relationship on the turbidity parameter (r = -0,449), then weak relationship on the pH parameter (r = 0,314).

"Magnesium dan paduannya telah digunakan di berbagai industri karena memiliki rasio kekuatan terhadap berat yang tinggi, modulus elastisitas dan densitas yang rendah, serta sifat mampu bentuk dan manufaktur yang baik. Namun, magnesium memiliki ketahanan korosi dan aus yang rendah. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut, diperlukan rekayasa permukaan pada paduan magnesium. Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) menghasilkan lapisan keramik oksida yang dapat meningkatkan ketahanan korosi dan aus paduan magnesium. Jenis elektrolit yang digunakan karakteristik dan waktu hidup plasma. Dalam penelitian ini, proses PEO dilakukan pada paduan AZ91 dalam elektrolit berbasis campuran silikat, fosfat, dan hidroksida yaitu Na3PO4, Na2SiO3, dan KOH. Proses PEO dilakukan dengan menggunakan rapat arus konstan sebesar 533 A/m2 selama 10 menit. Parameter proses tersebut dipilih untuk memperlama waktu hidup plasma. Pada penelitian sebelumnya, plasma hanya dapat hidup selama 2 menit. Hasil analisis SEM-EDS menunjukkan bahwa lapisan PEO yang dihasilkan memiliki dua tipe warna, yaitu abu-abu dan putih dengan morfologi dan komposisi berbeda. Bagian putih memiliki morfologi yang tidak seragam dan banyak retakan, dibandingkan dengan bagian abu-abu yang memiliki sedikit pori dan retakan. Ketebalan lapisan yang terbentuk sebesar 53 ± 3 μm. Berdasarkan hasil analisis fasa XRD, terdapat fasa kristal dan amorf Mg2SiO4, Mg3(PO4)2, dan MgO pada lapisan PEO. Hasil tersebut dikonfirmasi oleh hasil analisis EDS dengan terdeteksinya unsur-unsur terkait. Bagian putih memiliki konsentrasi Si yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan bagian abu-abu. Bagian abu-abu memiliki daya tahan abrasi yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan lapisan putih yang ditunjukkan dari nilai spesifikasi abrasinya, yaitu 0,684 × 10-5 mm3/mm dibanding 1,48 × 10-5 mm3/mm. Hasil karakterisasi dan uji mekanik menunjukkan lapisan PEO yang terbentuk tebal dan memiliki ketahanan aus yang baik karena plasma dapat hidup sampai 10 menit.

Magnesium and its alloys have been used in various industries due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, low modulus of elasticity and density, as well as good formability and manufacturability. However, magnesium has low corrosion resistance and wear resistance. To overcome these challenges, surface engineering is required for magnesium alloys. Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) produces a ceramic oxide layer that can enhance the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of magnesium alloys. The type of electrolyte used determines the characteristics and lifetime of the plasma. In this study, the PEO process was performed on the AZ91 alloy using an electrolyte based on a mixture of silicate, phosphate, and hydroxide, namely Na3PO4, Na2SiO3, and KOH. The PEO process was carried out using a constant current density of 533 A/m2 for 10 minutes. These process parameters were chosen to prolong the plasma lifetime. In previous studies, the plasma could only last for 2 minutes. The results of SEM-EDS analysis showed that the produced PEO layer had two different colors, namely gray and white, with different morphologies and compositions. The white part exhibited non-uniform morphology and numerous cracks compared to the gray part, which had fewer pores and cracks. The thickness of the formed layer was measured to be 53 ± 3 μm. Based on XRD phase analysis, crystal and amorphous phases of amorf Mg2SiO4, Mg3(PO4)2, and MgO were detected in the PEO layer. These findings were confirmed by EDS analysis, which detected related elements. The white part had a higher concentration of Si compared to the gray part. The gray part exhibited higher abrasion resistance compared to the white layer, as indicated by the abrasion specification values, which were 0,684 × 10-5 mm3/mm and 1,48 × 10-5 mm3/mm, respectively. The characterization and mechanical testing results indicated that the formed PEO layer was thick and had good wear resistance due to the plasma lifetime reaching 10 minutes."
