Mechanical Improvement of Ramie Woven Reinforced-Starch Based Biocomposite Using Biosizing Method
Get PDFOPTIMASI SIFAT MEKANIS KEKUATAN TARIK BAJA ST 50 DENGAN PERLAKUAN GAS CARBURIZING VARIASI HOLDING TIME UNTUK PENINGKATAN MUTU BAJA STANDAR UJI ASTM A370
Get PDFST 50 steel as a common engineering material, it can be optimized using gas carburizing treatment in Fluidized Bed Furnaces. Gas as carburizing media in the fluidied bed with vaned by holding time variation such as 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, and 5 hours. The holding time variation is to be intern of mechanical properties of the steel. Optimized value of mechanical properties ST 50 was actived in 3 hours of the treatment, it found average of tensile strength 651,7 MPa. The results above were based on A370 ASTM standar. From SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), fracture model also showed from SEM that the steel has hard and brittle fracture. It can be concluded that optimized steel using gas carburizing treatment shows significant improve of mechanical properties from steels
Improvement of Interfacial Shear Strength of Mendong Fiber (Fimbristylis globulosa) Reinforced Epoxy Composite Using the AC Electric Fields
Get PDFThe effects of the AC electric field treatment on the interfacial shear strength of mendong fiber-reinforced epoxy composites were investigated. For this purpose, the epoxy (DGEBA) with a cycloaliphatic amine curing agent was treated by the AC electric field during the curing process. The heat generated during the epoxy polymerization process was monitored. Structure of the epoxy was studied by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Scanning Electron Microscope, respectively. The interfacial shear strength (IFSS) was also measured using a single fiber pull-out test. XRD analyzes indicated that the treatment of AC electric fields was able to form a crystalline phase of epoxy. IFSS of the mendong fiber-reinforced epoxy composites was optimum increased by 38% in the AC electric fields treatment of 750 V/cm
