Abstract

Wire rope slings are critical in heavy lifting operations, yet their failure remains a persistent safety concern. This paper presents a case study of a catastrophic sling rupture that occurred during a heavy lifting trial, despite the lift being within its rated capacity. A multi-faceted failure analysis identified hidden corrosion fatigue at the sling’s ferrule and an unanticipated extreme overload condition as the primary technical root causes. Procedural and organizational factors—including inadequate risk assessment, deviation from critical lift protocols, and failure to act on prior lessons—also contributed to the incident. The contractor’s investigation is critically reviewed against best-practice Root Cause Analysis guidelines, highlighting both strengths and gaps in its methodology. Key lessons to improve lifting safety are discussed, such as implementing rigorous inspection and retirement criteria for aging slings and ensuring comprehensive lift planning. Overall, the case underscores the importance of robust investigation practices and effective organizational learning to prevent similar failures in the future.

Abstract

The operation of the track rollers is dependent on the frictional forces between the rollers and the track. Furthermore, the presence of moisture-laden sand and mud in the surrounding environment accelerates the corrosion process, leading to a synergistic effect on abrasion wear. The production of new rollers is a highly energy-intensive process, resulting in the emission of significant quantities of carbon dioxide. The main objective of this research was to develop a process for remanufacturing track rollers by integrating hardfacing methods, specifically, combining buttering with gas-metal-arc welding (GMAW) that utilizes 309LMo and flux-core arc welding (FCAW) employing TiC-O. During the GMAW process, currents of 180 A, 220 A, and 260 A were applied at the same time as wire with a diameter of 1.2 mm, whereas the FCAW process involved using currents of 200 A, 250 A, and 300 A in conjunction with a wire with a diameter of 1.6 mm. An evaluation was conducted through mechanical tests and metallurgical analysis to determine the effect of the variable current on the physical and mechanical properties of the hardfill layer. Mechanical tests using the Rockwell method and metallurgical analysis via morphological observation were conducted to assess the performance of the remanufactured track roller. The outcomes revealed that as the current increase in GMAW/FCAW welding, the hardfacing layer became increasingly stiffer, but this effect was offset by the failure of the hardfacing interface to bond correctly, as shown by its insufficient fusion and the formation of cracks and holes that penetrated into the base metal. This study highlights the importance of welding parameters to achieve a balance between hardness in the base and weld metals, diffusion, and the quality of the bond between the two, as a practical and cost-efficient method for the remanufacturing industry.

Abstract

Most studies of Indonesian Green House Gas (GHG) emission deal with land, forestry, electricity and construction, and exclude iron and steelmaking as such, which emits a sizeable 2.75t CO2equivalent/ton of steel. This paper focuses on GHG emissions of Indonesian iron and steel industry, now existing and under construction - and that projected to 2060. It gives actual steps of how to start reducing the industry’s GHG immediately using charcoal and employ ordinary people in environmental plantations and help poor people in towns and villages to earn some money by buying wood cuttings from them and processing it in distillation plants. It considers Indonesian ways and culture. There is no modelling of any process and activity, so everything can be checked from first principles or by reference to the source.One contentious conclusion is that to reduce the steel industry’s GHG to near zero, it is imperative to use nuclear energy. Its use in Indonesia has been committed to by President Prabowo at the G20 Summit in Brazil in November 2024 and its actual start with 28 reactors was announced the following month (December 2024). This elicited immediate protests with a slogan of: “Indonesia bukan Chernobyl”. A useful response by the government could be: Kami sangat setuju. Kami juga orang Indonesia. Sebab itu kita akan membangun reaktor gas Mitsubishi karena sama sekali reaktor tsb tidak mungkin meleleh seperti reaktor Chernobyl.

Abstract

Carbon is an essential element in the iron reduction process. Cokes are used as a carbon source in the traditional reduction process in the beneficiary of iron. When the Ironmaking Technology Mark 3 (ITMk3) method is applied in the reduction process, many carbon sources are used, especially the sources with sustainable and eco-friendly such as coconut shells, palm kernel shells, rice husk, and sugar cane bagasse. Saccharum officinarum or sugarcane extraction produced bagasse as the by-product. Like coconut shells, this rich carbon by-product is not utilized. This work discussed the utilization of bagasse as a reducing agent in the iron reduction process. An analysis is made based on specific reduction temperature with the various ratio of iron to coal. The lump ore is originated from South Borneo. Unlike the coconut shell, in this work, the Baggasse was dried. The process temperature range between 700 and 1000OC. The ratios of ore to bagasse were 1 to 1, 1 to 2, 1 to 3, and 1 to 4. The reduction process was carried out in a muffle furnace. The result shows that the reduction process produced wustite (FeO). This work also compared sugarcane bagasse with other green reducing agents.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the working posture of operators involved in feeding coconut shells into a processing machine, using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method. The assessment yielded a total REBA score of 9, which indicates a high level of ergonomic risk requiring immediate corrective action. This elevated score is attributed to repetitive movements during the material handling process. To mitigate the risk of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs), a specially designed portable screw conveyor is proposed as an assistive tool. The proposed conveyor is expected to significantly reduce physical strain and improve the overall ergonomics of the task. Visual illustrations of the design and technical drawing are provided to support the implementation concept. This study highlights the importance of ergonomic interventions in industrial settings to promote worker health and operational efficiency.

Abstract

Manual lifting of fertilizer bags in plantation operations often leads to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among workers due to repetitive, high-load, and ergonomically poor movements. This study aims to design an ergonomic fertilizer lifting crane integrated into the Canycom S25A Fertilizer Spreader with a 650-liter hopper to reduce physical strain and improve operational efficiency. A hydraulic crane system was designed with dual-segment arms, four lifting hooks, and two hydraulic cylinders, actuated via the unit’s PTO engine. Ergonomic evaluation was performed using the REBA assessment tools. The simulation results indicated that the maximum stress on critical components was within safe limits, with a factor of safety above 1.5. Postural analysis showed a significant improvement, where REBA scores decreased from 12 to 2 after the crane was introduced. The design offers a reliable, low-cost, and easily manufactured solution that enhances worker safety, reduces ergonomic risk, and increases productivity in fertilizer loading processes, especially in rugged field environments. The crane can be adopted in various agricultural applications where safe material handling is essential.

Abstract

Corrosion is an unavoidable phenomenon that is commonly observed in everyday life, particularly in infrastructure and tools constructed from low carbon steel. The corrosion of low carbon steel in chloride-rich environments presents a critical issue across numerous industrial sectors. One widely adopted method for mitigating corrosion involves the application of corrosion inhibitors, chemical substances that even in small concentrations, can significantly suppress the rate of metal degradation in corrosive environments. This research examines the potential of red roselle extract (Hibiscus sabdariffa) as a green corrosion inhibitor for low carbon steel in a 3.5% sodium chloride solution. The corrosion inhibition performance will be evaluated based on weight loss measurements over varying exposure periods of 3, 6, 9, and 12 days. Red roselle tea concentration of 10 g/L will be utilized, supplemented with an additional 2 mL of liquid inhibitor. The results of this study indicate that the maximum corrosion inhibition efficiency reaches 16% after 9 days of immersion, while the lowest efficiency is observed at 8% after 3 days. pH measurements and corrosion potential analysis suggest that red roselle tea contributes to reducing the corrosion rate by forming a protective layer on the surface of low carbon steel.
