Abstract

PT Philips Industries Batam is a company engaged in the manufacturing sector. One of the production processes carried out at PT Philips Industries Batam is the molding process. In the industrial world, the molding process has several types of defects that can affect product quality. The highest number of defects was identified to find the root cause using the Pareto and Fishbone diagram. This research aims to identify the factors causing the defect. Parameters on the Haitian MA 1200 machine were identified to determine the cause of the flow mark defect, thereby improving the quality level of the produced products. From five trials, the optimal parameter setting value was found in the fifth trial. The parameter settings consist of the start post: inject 1 with a value of 63, inject 2 with a value of 42, pressure: inject 1 with a value of 165, inject 2 with a value of 155. Pressure: hold 1 with a value of 55, hold 2 with a value of 45, and flow: hold 1 with a value of 18 and hold 2 with a value of 13. The flow mark defect on the Haitian MA 1200 machine effectively decreased by adjusting certain parameters.

Abstract

Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) is widely used in fabrication due to its efficiency and weld quality. This study examined the influence of welding sequence on distortion in 316 stainless steel fillet joints using the GMAW-pulsed process. Two techniques—back-step welding and string welding—were applied without strongbacks on 50 mm × 50 mm × 5 mm specimens, with 3–5 seconds between passes. Distortion was measured using a trigonometric calculation based on displacement. Results show that back-step welding consistently reduced angular distortion compared to string welding. For vertical plates, back-step yielded 14.53°, 13.59°, and 14.30°, versus 15.42°, 14.07°, and 14.76° for string welding. For horizontal plates, values were –3.93 mm, 4.12 mm, and –6.20 mm for back-step, compared to –10.15 mm, 1.91 mm, and –8.20 mm for string welding. Reduced distortion is attributed to intermittent bead placement, which limits heat accumulation and residual stress. These findings highlight the importance of sequence selection in minimizing distortion, particularly in precision-demanding sectors such as marine and automotive fabrication, and support the inclusion of back-step welding in welder training programs.

Abstract

Welding is one of the manufacturing processes widely used in engineering fields such as vehicles, bridges, and others, including in the construction of combat vehicles (military) that have special materials with high hardness (Armor Steel). This study examines the effect of filler type on the welding process on the microstructure and hardness of MIL-DTL 46100E Armor Steel using the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) method. The fillers used were ER-110, ER-307, and ER-70S.  The tests were carried out using metallographic analysis to study microstructural changes in the Weld Metal (WM) and HAZ areas and Vickers hardness testing. Macro testing results showed that the ER-307 filler produced a wider weld zone, while ER-70S produced a narrower weld zone. Microstructure testing revealed that ER-307 produced a finer and more stable structure, with a predominance of pearlite and ferrite phases in the Weld Metal and martensite in the HAZ. Hardness test results show that ER-307 has the highest hardness in the WM area at 411.9 HV and in the HAZ (501.6 HV), followed by the lowest hardness produced by the ER-70S filler at 297.5 HV and an HAZ value of 500 HV. Overall, ER-307 demonstrated the best performance for welding MIL-DTL 46100E steel, with stable hardness and optimal microstructure throughout the weld zone. This study provides guidance in selecting filler for welding armor steel, which can be applied to the development of combat vehicle technology.

Abstract

This study analyzes and optimizes the wing structure design of an Unmanned Cargo Aerial Vehicle (UCAV) using the Finite Element Method (FEM). The initial structural assessment shows that the maximum stress of 566.83 MPa occurs at the wing root, resulting in a minimum safety factor of 0.67 which is well below the acceptable threshold of 1.8, as defined by the C.A.S.A Australia Subpart C standard. The maximum displacement amplitude was recorded at 3.81 mm, indicating potential structural failure under operational loads. To improve structural performance, modifications were implemented by increasing the thickness of ribs and spars in critical sections. The redesigned model reduced the maximum stress to 99.97 MPa, raised the minimum safety factor to 1.9, and decreased the maximum displacement amplitude to 0.672 mm. These findings confirm that the modified UCAV wing design achieves compliance with safety standards, enhances structural integrity, and demonstrates improved reliability under operational conditions.

Abstract

This study explores the feasibility of converting post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) beverage bottles into functional filament for additive manufacturing, with a specific focus on producing bayonet sheaths for Indonesian military applications. The primary objective is to determine whether recycled PET can serve as a viable alternative to conventional filaments in terms of mechanical performance and practical applicability. The research employed an experimental approach, processing PET waste into filament via the Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) method. The material was evaluated for tensile and flexural properties in accordance with ASTM D638 and ASTM D790 standards. Two commercially available filaments, polylactic acid (PLA) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), were used as benchmarks for comparison. PET specimens underwent controlled tensile and bending tests to assess strength, elongation, and deformation behavior. Results showed that recycled PET demonstrated comparable, and in certain metrics superior, performance relative to the benchmark materials, particularly in hardness and load resistance. Although minor inconsistencies were observed, likely to be due to extrusion or printing variations, these did not significantly affect functional performance. A bayonet sheath produced from recycled PET filament met both structural and practical requirements, confirming its suitability for protective gear. This study concludes that recycled PET not only fulfills mechanical requirements for military applications but also contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing plastic waste and supporting circular economy initiatives. The findings highlight the potential for recycled PET to be adopted in broader manufacturing sectors requiring durable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly materials. Further research is recommended to optimize processing techniques, enhance surface characteristics, and evaluate long-term performance under varying operational and environmental conditions to fully validate its industrial viability.

Abstract

Rodent infestation remains a major constraint in rice production, causing significant yield losses and threatening agricultural sustainability. Conventional rodent control methods, such as chemical rodenticides and manual trapping, often exhibit limited effectiveness and pose environmental and health risks. This study aims to evaluate the performance of an ultrasonic–Internet of Things (IoT)-based rice field rodent repellent system in reducing attack intensity and crop yield losses under real field conditions. The research employed a comparative field experiment conducted over one planting season, involving treated plots equipped with the ultrasonic–IoT system and untreated control plots managed using conventional practices. Rodent attack intensity was assessed through indicators including the percentage of damaged rice clumps, active burrow counts, and observable rodent activity, while yield loss was measured based on harvested grain output (kg/ha). System performance was further evaluated through the consistency of ultrasonic signal emission and the reliability of IoT-based data transmission. The results demonstrate a clear reduction in rodent attack intensity in treated fields compared to control fields, accompanied by a significant decrease in yield loss. The ultrasonic–IoT system operated reliably throughout the observation period, maintaining stable signal emission and continuous data logging despite variable field conditions. However, environmental factors such as weather variability and rodent migration patterns influenced system effectiveness to some extent. Overall, the findings indicate that the ultrasonic–IoT-based rodent repellent system is an effective, environmentally friendly, and data-driven approach that supports smart and sustainable agriculture. The system is best implemented as part of an integrated pest management strategy to enhance long-term effectiveness and scalability.
