The sintering temperature effect on the shrinkage behavior of cobalt chromium alloy
Problem Statement: Co-Cr based alloys which is well known for its high Young’s
modulus, fatigue strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance is an important metallic bio�material. However, till date there are only two type of Co-Cr alloy which are the castable and wrought
cobalt alloy. Powder Metallurgy route for cobalt is expected to give better result of Co-Cr alloy. The
purpose of this research was mainly to study the sintering temperature effect to the shrinkage
behavior of Cobalt Chromium (Co-Cr) alloy of the powder metallurgy route. Approach: Co-Cr was
produced following P/M route under sintering temperature of 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300 and 1400oC.
The sintering time was fixed at 60 min. Several tests has been conducted to determine this effect such
as the rate of shrinkage measurement, the bulk density and porosity percentage measurement,
compression and hardness tests and micro structural study. Result: From the study, it was found that
the sintering temperature has caused the shrinkage of Co-Cr. The increasing of the sintering
temperature has caused to the increasing of shrinkage of Co-Cr. This has resulted to the reduction of
the pore volume and hence increased it density. In conjunction to that, the strength and the hardness
of Co-Cr was increased. Conclusion: Therefore, it is hope that it will bring new view of powder
metallurgy Co-Cr alloy as bio-material

A mathematical model development for the lateral collapse of octagonal tubes
. Many researches has been done on the lateral collapse of tube. However, the previous researches
only focus on cylindrical and square tubes. Then a research has been done discovering the collapse
behaviour of hexagonal tube and the mathematic model of the deformation behaviour had been developed
[8]. The purpose of this research is to study the lateral collapse behaviour of symmetric octagonal tubes and
hence to develop a mathematical model of the collapse behaviour of these tubes. For that, a predictive
mathematical model was developed and a finite element analysis procedure was conducted for the lateral
collapse behaviour of symmetric octagonal tubes. Lastly, the mathematical model was verified by using the
finite element analysis simulation results. It was discovered that these tubes performed different
deformation behaviour than the cylindrical tube. Symmetric octagonal tubes perform 2 phases of elastic -
plastic deformation behaviour patterns. The mathematical model had managed to show the fundamental of
the deformation behaviour of octagonal tubes. However, further studies need to be conducted in order to
further improve on the proposed mathematical mode
