Abstract

A binder is any material used to strengthen the bonding of moulding sand grains. The primary function of the binder is to hold the moulding sand and other materialstogether to produce high-quality casts. In this study, there were four binder compositions being tested, i.e. 5% bentonite + 5% Portland cement, 4% bentonite + 6% Portland cement, 6% bentonite + 4% Portland cement, and 7% bentonite + 3% Portland cement. Each specimen was measured for its compressive strength, shear strength, tensile strength and permeability. The highest compressive strength was obtained fromthe specimen composed of 6% bentonite+ 4% Portland cement. The highest shear strength was obtained from the moulding sand with 7% bentonite+ 3%Portland cement. The highest tensile strength was obtained fromthe specimen contained 5% bentonite+ 5% Portland cement. The specimen composed of 5% bentonite + 5% Portland cement had the lowest permeability of 131 ml/min, while that of 6% bentonite + 4% Portland cement had the highest permeability of 176 ml/min.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the toughness of casts produced by the sand casting process at various temperatures against brass, and to investigate the structure contained in the cast madeusing abrass metal mould. This study was experimental research that observed the results of a treatment applied to a specimen group. This pre-experimental study usedthe one-shot case study model in which a group of samples was given treatment. The results showed that the specimen poured at 900°C exhibiteda microstructure consisting ofgood Cu-Zn content, while that at 700°Chad the least Cu content. It indicates that the higher the temperature used for metal casting (brass), the more brittle the cast. The toughness of the materialwas influenced by the alloy composition and the pouring temperature of each specimen; the higher the pouring temperature, the better the treatment of alloy. The photomicrographs indicate that the higher the pouring temperature usedin the metal casting (brass), the lesser the carbon element contained in the material.

Abstract

The shell and tube heat exchanger was a tool to exchange the heat energy between fluids with different temperatures that occurred through direct or indirect contact. The energy exchange in fluids could be occurred with the same phase (liquid to liquid or gas to gas) or two fluids with different phase. To date, the process of heat transfer in the industrial field was crucial in machine work. Therefore, there were studies directed to optimize and develop the function and thermal performance of a heat exchanger by adding Baffles to the side of the shell. Vortex flow that occurs with the addition of baffles will make the area of fluid contact in the shell with the tube wall larger, so the heat transfer between the two fluids will increase. This study aimed to obtain the efficiency of the heat exchanger and its effectiveness when put on parallel flow. The heat exchanger had the dimensions of 54.6 x 10-3 m in outer diameter and 22.4 x 10-3 m in inner diameter with a tube thickness of 3 mm. The variations on water flow from both fluids were 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 l/min for hot water and 1, 2, 3, 4 l/min for cold water to obtain the effectiveness of heat exchanger on parallel flow. This research heated the hot fluid in electric heating and used water as the cold fluid. The results showed that heat exchanger with single segmental baffle was more efficient in reducing heat in hot water than heat exchanger without bafe. The flow of fluid affected the average temperature difference; the higher the flow of fluid created a more significant temperature difference. The use of single segmental baffle affected the average temperature difference that was higher than without the baffle. The use of single segmental baffle also influenced the heat transfer greater than without baffle because of the longer distance travelled by the fluid on single segmental baffle with the same flow. Thus, the heat transfer process that occurred was more significant by using a single segmental baffle.

Abstract

The major factors determining the quality of sand casting products are the base sand and the composition of the sand mould and the binding material. In the foundry industry, the most commonly used binder for creating sand moulds is bentonite. However, the price of bentonite is likely to keep rising. This study aimed at discovering a new binder formula associated with the effect of binder composition i.e. bentonite, tapioca flour, and sago flour on the basis of its mechanical and physical properties. The new formula was expected to be a better binder in the production of sand moulds, resulting in high-quality casting products with minimal defects. Moreover, it is probable to be much more economical than bentonite. This research focused on testing the moulding sand composition with a number of different binders, i.e. bentonite, tapioca flour, and sago flour, each in a different proportion. The mixture of the moulding sand with each of the three binders will be tested in terms of its mechanical properties including compressive, shear, and tensile strength. Based on the test results, sago flour has the highest dry compressive strength of 28.6 N/cm2, whereas bentonite has the highest wet compressive strength, i.e. 11.83 N/cm2 and the highest wet shear strength i.e. 3.16 N/cm2. The binder with the highest dry shear strength is tapioca flour with 18.16 N/cm2. Regarding the tensile strength value, bentonite has the highest wet tensile strength of 0.85 N/cm2, while sago flour has the highest dry tensile strength of 1.73 N/cm2.

Abstract

Leaf spring, as one of the main components of the suspension system, serves the function of absorbing road shocks and any wheel vibrations, preventing them from being transmitted directly to the vehicle body. Moreover, it can increase the tire traction as well as support the weight of the vehicle and various kinds of external forces. Various studies on the use of composite materials for leaf springs have shown that the strength of composite leaf spring is similar to steel leaf spring with the same load carrying capacity. However, the composite leaf spring has the added advantage of being more lightweight. In fact, composite materials have been preferable for many purposes not only because of its properties but also its lightweight structure and cost effectiveness. The analysis process was carried out using the finite element method by means of ANSYS software to display the output of the analysis being performed. After the output is known, the amount of voltage in conventional, mounted, and progressive spring can be determined. Based on the data analysis, we concluded that conventional straight leaf springs produced a maximum voltage of 653.13 MPa and maximum deflection of 4367.1 mm. The results of the analysis using the finite element method showed that conventional leaf springs (both straight and not) are considered as the most effective model of leaf spring in terms of the power generated.

Abstract

In metal forming, damage can be caused by several factors: load on the workpiece, initial heating temperature, and temperature due to the friction between the die and the material for pre-forming. The metal forming process can be executed in 2 ways, namely by hot working and cold working. During these two types of mechanical working process, the metal undergoes plastic deformation. In hot working, the required deformation force is relatively low, and changes in mechanical properties are also insignificant. In cold working, a higher force is required, but the strength of the metal will increase significantly. The use of simulation has become increasingly widespread to predict and describe process mechanisms and optimize the pre-forming process. The study was conducted using a three-dimensional (3D) simulation to predict the effect of variations in time, material and temperature on the damage of pre-forming blocks. The simulation results showed that the greatest damage occurred after 0.006 s and at 25 °C to the specimen 1 (Aluminium 1xxx) with the highest damage value of 0.011833 which occurred. Specimen 7 (Aluminium 3xxx) had the lowest damage with the value of 0.011542 which occurred after 0.010 s and at 25 °C.
