Abstract

The astronomical increase in the cost of inputs for the coating process without a corresponding increase in market share and prices of goods is a threat to surface coating manufacturers. Despite this threat, very few discussions focus on the efficiency of the coating process. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the efficiency of the coating process while using the 67Ni18Cr5Si4B coating powder on C45 steel substrate material. The data envelopment analysis was used to obtain the relative efficiency of parameters, namely, spray velocity, powder feed rate, spray distance, porosity, adhesion strength, and microhardness. This in turn contributed to analyzing the efficiencies of the levels of the inputs to provide efficiency information on the output from the averages. Data envelopment analysis regards inputs and outputs as decision-making units (DMUs) and is operated by minimizing inputs or maximizing the outputs. Using data envelopment analysis to obtain the relative efficiency of coating powder becomes an enlightening practice. With this, the levels of each system were termed to be efficient, if the efficiency factor (hk) is equal to one. In a real sense, the levels could be obtained by calculating the average values regarding a parameter. The result of the study was enhanced with the aid of the linprog facility in Matlab. The efficiency was obtained for each level as 0.92,1, and 1 respectively. Hence, levels 2 and 3 are efficient but level 1 is inefficient according to the data envelopment analysis. On average, the overall efficiency is 0.95 which is termed inefficient.

Abstract

Vibration in milling processes adversely affects product quality, machining precision, tool lifespan, and operating costs. A common vibration type, chatter, arises from self-excitation influenced by cutting parameters. Chatter can be classified into regenerative and resonant types. To mitigate resonance, cutting tools with variable helix angles are employed, as their varying pitch angles generate distinct tooth-passing frequencies for each blade. This study investigates the impact of helix angles on cutting parameters during end milling and their effects on vibration amplitude and surface roughness of AISI 304 stainless steel. Experimental end milling trials were conducted with different helix angle tools and cutting parameter variations. The findings reveal that optimizing the helix angle significantly reduces vibration amplitude and enhances surface finish. Controlling helix angle proves crucial for achieving superior surface quality and stable operation in end milling processes of stainless steel materials.

Abstract

This study explores the prediction of Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) performance in Dynamic Magnetic Field (DMF) assisted water electrolysis using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). The integration of ANN models with experimental data from DMF-assisted electrolysis provides valuable insights into the complex interplay between magnetic fields and electrochemical processes. The results show significant enhancements in HER rates compared to conventional electrolysis, with static magnetic fields also contributing to performance improvements. The ANN models developed exhibit high accuracy in predicting HER performance under varying DMF rotational speeds, as evidenced by low Mean Squared Error (MSE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and high R-squared values, demonstrating their strong predictive power and reliability. However, caution is advised regarding overfitting, and future research should focus on incorporating techniques like regularization and cross-validation to enhance model generalization. This study lays the foundation for further optimization of efficient hydrogen production technologies in the context of sustainable energy solutions.

Abstract

This paper presents a numerical investigation into the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of a shell and tube heat exchanger (STHeX) equipped with baffles that induces swirl flow. A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model was created to simulate the STHeX behavior, and its accuracy was confirmed by comparing it to the Bell-Delaware method results. The two sets of calculations exhibited good agreement, validating the CFD model. The velocity component of the fluid flow was analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The flow patterns of eddies on the STHeX were carefully examined and their correlation with thermal performance was investigated. This study demonstrates that the swirl flow baffle geometry leads to a more turbulent flow pattern, resulting in an increase in the overall heat transfer coefficient. The findings indicate that the swirl flow baffle enhances heat transfer performance and reduces pressure drop in comparison to a conventional STHeX.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the phenomena that occur due to projectile penetration on fiber metal laminate. Ballistic testing was carried out experimentally according to National Institute of Justice standards (NIJ Standard 0101.06 level III-A) using a 9 mm full-metal jacket projectile with a normal angle of attack (90° to the target). The results showed that fiber metal laminate could withstand the projectile rate by penetrating the first layer (aluminum plate) and the second layer (aramid/epoxy), while the last layer was deformed to form a bulge. The pierced aluminum plate is characterized by petalling failure. Meanwhile, the aramid/epoxy was penetrated by the projectile with failure of the primary yarn to break the fiber.

Abstract

AISI 1020 steel is low-carbon steel with a carbon content of 0.20% and good ductility but low hardness. One of the methods to increase the hardness is by infusing carbon. The addition of carbon, called carburizing, was done by heating at a high enough temperature, namely at austenite temperature, in an environment containing active carbon atoms so that the active carbon atoms would diffuse into the steel surface and reach a certain depth. After the diffusion process, a rapid cooling treatment (quenching) is followed to obtain a harder surface, but the center is ductile. The carburizing process requires activation energy to diffuse carbon in the material. Catalysts are one solution to increase activation energy so that the time required during the carburization process is less. The study used carburizer from Lorjuk mussel shells as a catalyst and peanut shell charcoal as a source of activated carbon. The variations used were 0% catalyst/100% charcoal, 10% catalyst/90% charcoal, 20% catalyst/80% charcoal, and 30% catalyst/70%. The results of the study obtained the highest hardness and carbon diffusion values, the smallest corrosion rate obtained in the addition of 30% catalyst, and the lowest hardness in specimens without catalyst.

Abstract

Machining processes such as turning, milling, drilling and grinding are currently required to be environmentally friendly, including cutting fluids whose function is to reduce friction, wear and corrosion. Mineral oil is a cutting fluid that is widely used in the manufacturing industry, but the problem is that it is nondegradable and the raw material has the potential to run out. Therefore, this review article aims to discuss a literature review regarding the solution to this problem, namely the use of nanofluids as cutting fluids made from vegetable oil because not much has been discussed in Indonesia. Vegetable oils are more environmentally friendly, the ingredients are abundant in nature, and have excellent lubrication properties. The characteristics of nanofluids as cutting fluids such as thermophysical, rheological and tribological properties are also explored in this review article to find out the latest research. According to the literature, it is found that the use of nano-cutting fluid made from vegetable oil can improve thermal properties and tribological performance to reduce friction and wear in the machining process due to superior cooling and lubrication to produce green manufacturing in the future.

Abstract

Among the industries that have detrimental effects on the environment is the sugarcane sector. Consequently, it is possible to draw the conclusion that the sugarcane sector is not environmentally sustainable. According to the study's findings, the primary cause of all damage categories is the usage of power produced through bagasse cogeneration. With a total score of 71,2%, human health makes the largest contribution to the harm categories. It is anticipated that this research's findings will lessen PT X's environmental effect, making the company more environmentally sustainable.
