Abstract

This study developed an environmentally friendly composite material for use in roller weights of Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) systems in motorcycles. The composite, made from teak wood powder (Tectona grandis L.F.) and epoxy resin, was formulated as an alternative to conventional PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), which is less environmentally sustainable. The composite was fabricated using the hot-press method, with variations in the teak-resin composition ratios (60:40, 70:30, and 80:20) and hot-press temperatures (160°C, 170°C, and 180°C). The results showed that the composite with a 60:40 composition at 180°C and 20 bar pressure achieved the highest tensile strength of 25 MPa, exceeding that of conventional roller weight material (23 MPa). Tensile testing was conducted in accordance with ASTM D3039 standards. In addition to its superior mechanical performance, the material also utilizes biomass waste and has the potential to reduce production costs. These findings demonstrate that teak wood powder composite is a viable candidate for strong, durable roller weight applications and supports the development of more sustainable automotive components.

Abstract

This study applies to the Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) II methodology to improve the reliability and cost efficiency of a kiln system in a cement manufacturing plant. Kiln failures are critical because they cause unplanned downtime, reduced productivity, and financial losses. Traditional corrective or time-based maintenance strategies often fail to address the stochastic nature of failures in such high-temperature rotary systems. To overcome this gap, the research integrates Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) with RCM II decision logic to identify and prioritize maintenance actions. The analysis focused on five critical kiln components—crusher cooler, firebrick lining, thrust roller, grate cooler, and main drive—using 12 months of operational data supported by expert interviews and technical manuals. Reliability indicators, including Mean Time to Failure (MTTF), Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), and Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), were calculated, while Risk Priority Numbers (RPN) were assigned to rank failure modes. Results showed that the crusher cooler had the highest risk, whereas the main drive required the longest repair duration. Implementation of RCM II recommendations increased MTBF by 29–38% across components and reduced maintenance costs by more than 50%. These findings confirm that RCM II provides a practical, data-driven framework for enhancing system availability. The study contributes to maintenance engineering by demonstrating a structured approach that supports risk-informed and condition-based maintenance strategies in continuous-process industries.

Abstract

6061 aluminum alloys are widely used in automotive, marine, and aerospace industries, yet their high susceptibility to corrosion in acidic and chloride environments remains a challenge. Bio-based inhibitors from natural sources have emerged as sustainable alternatives to toxic synthetic chemicals. This review synthesizes findings from published studies on AA6061 alloys and composites, integrating evidence from Potentiodynamic Polarization (PDP), Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Cross-study evaluations show that inhibition efficiency depends on inhibitor type and mechanism. Reports indicate that Boswellia serrata provides only moderate protection (~70%) due to weak physiosorbed films that are unstable under flow, whereas Alocasia odora achieves higher efficiency (~94% in HCl) through chemisorption with cathodic inhibition. Aerva lanata demonstrates ~88% efficiency in chloride-based fiber-metal laminates via polyphenolic adsorption, while glutathione provides ~80% protection at 0.75 mM through multisite coordination. Pectin consistently achieves the highest efficiency (~95% in mild acidic media) by forming compact polymeric films that increase charge-transfer resistance and reduce double-layer capacitance. This synthesis indicates that chemisorption-based inhibitors (e.g., pectin, Alocasia) generally outperform physisorption-based systems (e.g., Boswellia) because they form stronger and more stable films. Reported studies highlight both advantages and limitations: natural inhibitors are effective and eco-friendly, but most evaluations remain short-term and laboratory-based. Key gaps include durability testing, advanced characterization (XPS, ToF-SIMS, Raman, AFM), galvanic effects in composites, and poor hydrodynamic stability of physisorption systems. Future work should explore hybrid strategies, synergistic multi-inhibitor approaches, and validation under real-sea conditions to enable scalable and industrially viable corrosion protection.
