Abstract

Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) is today’s one of rapidly growing nanocomposite reinforcing materials. This is thanks to some advantages that come with it over anorganic nanocomposite reinforcing materials, for example, nanoclay, nanosilica, nanoalumina, carbon nanotubes, among others. Some of the advantages of NCC are environment-friendliness due to being organic-compound-based, high mechanical property, and easy manufacturing. NCC can be extracted from natural cellulose sources, such as natural fiber, wood, and animals. One of the natural fibers rich in cellulose content, in this case around 80%, is fiber of ramie which is ubiquitous in Indonesia. It is well known that the acid hydrolysis method is an easy route to NCC fabrication. A number of chemical treatments like de-waxing, bleaching, and alkaline treatment are typically performed prior to acid hydrolysis process. The effect of such chemical treatments as precursors of alkaline hydrolysis on ramie fiber characteristics was investigated in this research. Firstly, ramie fiber was cut 1 cm in size, then grinded and sieved. The fiber was then subjected to de-waxing process by adding it into a toluene-ethanol solution (1:2). Then, it was submitted to bleaching with 0.7% sodium chlorite (NaClO2) solution at 75 °C for 1 hour. Lastly, the fiber was subjected to an alkaline treatment in 2% NaOH solution for 2 hours. Characterization with FT-IR, XRD, and TGA of the fiber which had underwent a number of surface treatments was conducted. Results show that the chemical treatments had successfully removed amorphous components like lignin and hemicellulose from the ramie fiber. Chemical treatments were proven able to increase the crystallinity index and thermal stability of ramie fiber.

Abstract

One of the driving equipment to produce electricity that is widely used is gas turbines. To guarantee gas turbine can be operated according to its design and capacity, it is necessary to choose a material that is suitable for its operating conditions and working temperature. Commonly gas turbine compressor blade material is a martensitic stainless steel which has a high enough strength at the compressor working temperature. Damage that is often experienced occurs at the compressor blade and turbine blade. Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) build-up repair is one of the methods used to repair blades. This research was conducted to analyze the effect of tempering temperatures on martensitic stainless steel repaired with GTAW. Research was focus on mechanical properties and microstructure after repaired with GTAW and had heat treatment with various tempering temperatures. In the microstructure, all weld area of the specimens that were tempered at temperatures of 200, 500 and 600°C showed the same microstructure characteristics which consisted of a matrix of tempered martensite as well as chromium carbide. The size of tempered martensite at temperatures of 600°C is larger than 500 and 200°C. The strength and hardness of the material with a tempering temperature of 200°C is higher in value compared to tempering temperatures of 500°C and 600°C, while the toughness of the material with tempering temperature of 500°C is higher compared to 200°C and 600°C.

Abstract

In the field of material technology, natural fiber materials are candidates for reinforcement in the production of lightweight, high-strength, environment-friendly, economical composites. Hybrid composites are comprised of a variety of reinforcement, fillers, and polymers. The objective of this research was to figure out the effect of clay addition on the mechanical properties of hybrid composites reinforced with woven agel leaf fiber/glass fiber. The materials used included woven agel leaf fiber, glass fiber, clay, Yukalac BQTN 157 type unsaturated polyester resin, and methyl-ethyl ketone peroxide catalyst. Firstly, the woven agel leaf fiber was given an alkaline treatment by submersion in a 4% NaOH solution for 1 hour, then rinsed with clean water and dried in the open air for 48 hours. The composite manufacture process employed 3 sheets of woven agel leaf fiber and 4 sheets of glass fiber sized 25 cm × 20 cm with unsaturated polyester matrix. The manufacture method used was the vacuum bagging method with a suction pressure of –70 cmHg. The mechanical tests carried out consisted of tensile test (based on the ASTM D638 standard), bending test (based on the ASTM D790 standard), and impact test (based on the ASTM D5942 standard). The results show that an addition of 1 wt% clay was able to increase the tensile strength, bending strength, and impact strength of the hybrid composite reinforced with woven agel leaf fiber/glass fiber by 7.26%, 30.85%, and 36.25%, respectively.
