Abstract

Functionally graded aluminum matrices produced by means of centrifugal casting offer a route to location-specific properties, yet sustainable feedstocks and dual-density reinforcements are less well explored. In this work, we evaluate vertical centrifugal casting (VCC) of a remelted, recycled piston alloy reinforced with silica (SiO₂) and copper (Cu) particulates selected for their contrasting densities relative to the matrix. Castings were produced at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes using a 500 °C preheated mold and an 800 °C pour temperature. Cu was added at 1–4 wt.% and SiO₂ was added at 0–9 wt.%. Bulk density/porosity measurements, Vickers hardness testing, and optical/SEM microstructural analysis were employed to characterize the resulting gradients. The density increased with the radial distance from the rotation axis, accompanied by a monotonic decrease in porosity, consistent with centrifugal separation. Microstructurally, SiO₂ concentrated toward the inner region near the rotation center; in comparison, Cu was enriched at the outer periphery. Correspondingly, hardness exhibited a spatial gradient: SiO₂-reinforced zones were hardest near the inner region, whereas Cu-rich outer zones were hardest at the external rim. These results demonstrate that VCC of a recycled Al–Si feedstock can be used to reliably tailor its microstructure and properties through density-driven particle segregation, enabling controllable, bidirectional functional grading using environmentally friendly starting materials.

Abstract

Background: This study addresses the public health issue of community hygiene and wellness by focusing on the Clean and Healthy Lifestyle Behavior (CHLB) as a key parameter. The subject of the assessment is the community of Sompok Hamlet, Bantul, with the purpose of evaluating the implementation of CHLB within households to understand areas of strength and needed improvement. Purpose of the Study: The purpose is to assess the level of CHLB implementation in Sompok Hamlet. The objective is to measure household compliance across various CHLB indicators and identify specific behavioral gaps that require targeted intervention. Methods: The study employed a cross-sectional survey design conducted in 2023. Data were collected from 202 households across seven neighborhood units (RT) using a structured questionnaire to evaluate compliance with standard CHLB indicators. Results: The results showed that 68.3% of households met the criteria for independent healthy communities. High compliance was observed in indicators like access to clean water, sanitation, exclusive breastfeeding, and toddler weighing. However, significant gaps were identified in physical activity (71.3% low compliance) and indoor smoking practices (64% low compliance). Practices related to fruit/vegetable consumption, handwashing, and larva elimination showed varied results. The findings highlight the need for focused educational programs to address these specific behavioral deficiencies to promote sustainable community health.
