<![CDATA[Boilers are one of the important components in the industrial sector, with their thermal efficiency largely dependent on the ability to utilize the heat energy produced. Economizer is the main device used to improve boiler efficiency by utilizing residual heat from flue gases to heat feed water, thereby reducing fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This research aims to review the literature related to optimizing the economizer manufacturing process, including material selection, design, and production technology, in order to improve boiler thermal efficiency. The review shows that materials such as stainless steel and copper have a great contribution in improving thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. In addition, new material innovations, such as ceramic and polymer composites, offer significant potential for improving economizer performance. On the other hand, manufacturing processes such as high-precision welding and strict quality control prove instrumental in ensuring the structural integrity of the economizer. By optimizing manufacturing processes, boiler efficiency can increase by up to 15%, while supporting sustainability by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This research confirms that further development in economizer design, materials and manufacturing technologies is necessary to meet the needs of a sustainable industry. Thus, economizer is not only a solution for energy efficiency but also a strategic step in supporting a more environmentally friendly energy system.]]>

<![CDATA[The field of energy storage is undergoing significant transformation through the integration of additive manufacturing (AM). However, current challenges persist in addressing the optimization of material properties, precision, and manufacturing constraints in thermal energy storage (TES) systems. The aim of this study is to review the advancements in AM techniques as applied to TES systems, focusing on their ability to enhance thermal efficiency, reduce material wastage, and improve economic viability. The methodology employed is a systematic literature review (SLR), consolidating findings from previous studies to identify the effectiveness of AM in fabricating TES components. Key findings highlight that AM enables the creation of complex structures, such as lattices and composite phase change materials (PCMs), that improve heat transfer, thermal conductivity, and system stability. For instance, optimized fin designs produced via AM have reduced conduction resistance by up to 17 times. Additionally, integrating lattice frameworks and porous matrices has enhanced energy storage capabilities by improving temperature uniformity and reducing phase change material melting times. AM demonstrates transformative potential in TES by enabling innovative designs and efficient material usage. However, further research is required to address scalability, cost-effectiveness, and high-resolution manufacturing to fully realize its application in industrial energy storage systems.]]>

<![CDATA[This research examines various approaches in improving the quality and efficiency of the aluminium recycling process, focusing on the effect of waste type, casting method, and process parameters on the mechanical properties of the resulting product. Several studies have shown that the type of aluminium waste, such as pistons and cans, affects the hardness of the final product, while non-conventional cooling media such as coconut milk water can produce a more homogeneous microstructure. In addition, casting methods such as centrifugal casting are superior to sand casting in producing tighter microstructure and better mechanical quality. The addition of elemental tin (Sn) to recycled aluminium has also been shown to improve hardness and wear resistance, making it more suitable for severe applications. Controlling the casting temperature and controlling porosity are also important factors in obtaining products with optimum mechanical strength. While these results are promising, further research is needed to optimise cost efficiency, environmental impact and sustainability in the aluminium recycling process.]]>

<![CDATA[Tensile strength in Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) is a critical parameter that significantly impacts the material's performance in mechanical structures. This welding method is widely used in various industrial applications, especially for carbon steel materials, due to its practicality and relatively low operational costs. This study aims to analyze the factors affecting tensile strength in SMAW welding, including welding current, electrode type and size, welding position, cooling medium, and welder skill. The analysis results show that increasing welding current can improve penetration and tensile strength, although it carries the risk of defects such as porosity and reduced weld quality. Selecting the right electrode, such as E7016, provides better tensile strength results compared to E7018, which excels in crack resistance. The horizontal welding position produces more consistent weld quality, while overhead position increases the risk of defects. Additionally, the cooling medium plays a significant role, with slow cooling using air or sand leading to a microstructure that supports better tensile strength compared to rapid cooling with water. Welder skill is also an important factor in controlling welding parameters to achieve optimal and strong welding results.]]>

<![CDATA[Floods are the most frequent natural disasters that hit Indonesia and have a major impact on people's lives, especially in coastal areas such as Brebes which often face flash floods, so that conventional transportation systems are often completely paralyzed and hinder the evacuation process and distribution of aid. This research aims to develop amphibious motorcycles as an affordable alternative transportation solution in accordance with local conditions by utilizing local materials such as Styrofoam to overcome the limitations of access to similar technology in Indonesia. The research method used an experimental approach by designing and testing an amphibious motorcycle buoy made of used Styrofoam fruit boxes coated with plywood and fiber with dimensions of 179 cm × 37 cm × 38 cm per unit, mounted on Honda Beat motorcycles. The test was carried out through four loading variations ranging from no-load conditions to a maximum load of 223 kg, by measuring the depth of the dipped float to evaluate buoyancy based on the Archimedes principle. The results showed that the buoy was able to withstand a maximum load of 223 kg in stable conditions with a dip depth of 17 cm, resulting in an actual buoyancy force of 119 N although theoretical calculations showed a maximum capacity of 432 kg (4,233.6 N). The buoy system with a total weight of 24 kg (2 units) has a safety margin of 55.3% and is capable of operating with passengers up to 80 kg with maintained stability. This study validates that the design of the amphibious motorcycle has a strong theoretical basis and has been experimentally proven as an effective emergency transportation solution based on local materials for flood disaster mitigation in Indonesia.]]>

<![CDATA[This article reviews the fabrication methods of metal matrix composites (MMCs) in liquid state. Metal matrix composites, especially aluminium metal matrix composites (AMMCs), are widely used in automotive, aviation, and medical industries due to their superior properties such as low density, good wear resistance, and specific strength. Liquid-based manufacturing processes include infiltration, stir casting, centrifugal casting, squeeze casting, vacuum die-casting, compocasting, and rheocasting. Each method offers specific advantages in reinforcement distribution, cost efficiency, and complex shape manufacturability. Infiltration is effective in achieving good interfacial bonding; stir casting is popular because it is simple and economical for mass production; centrifugal casting excels in forming high-density and wear-resistant composites; squeeze casting and vacuum die casting increase the strength and density of composites; while compocasting and rheocasting offer more homogeneous microstructure and grain refinement. This review shows that the selection of method should be based on the specific application requirements and material characteristics to achieve optimum mechanical properties. With improvements in technology and control of process parameters, liquid casting methods offer significant potential for the manufacture of high-performance structural and functional components.]]>

<![CDATA[The modern industrial era is characterized by the high complexity of systems and the demand for operational efficiency, making maintenance systems play a crucial role in ensuring reliability, safety, and sustainability of production processes. Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) has emerged as a strategic approach to replace conventional Preventive Maintenance (PM) methods, which are often static and inefficient. This study compares the effectiveness of RCM and PM in terms of maintenance cost and risk through a literature review across various industrial sectors, including power generation, automotive, maritime, food and beverage, and energy distribution systems. The results show that RCM implementation can reduce unplanned downtime by up to 55.77%, increase system reliability by 28%, lower maintenance costs from 20% to 70%, and raise system availability from 57% to over 90% in some cases. RCM has also proven to be more adaptive to actual equipment conditions, supports risk-based decision-making, and is more effective in scheduling maintenance for critical assets. Although its implementation requires more data resources and technical expertise, RCM demonstrates superior long-term performance. This study recommends the integration of a hybrid strategy that combines the strengths of RCM, PM, and predictive approaches powered by digital technologies to comprehensively enhance the efficiency and reliability of maintenance systems.]]>
