AbstrakInovasi dalam bidang material komposit menuntut terciptanya material yang lebih ramah lingkungan.  Saat ini komposit serat alam (green material) patut dipertimbangkan menjadi material yang sangat berpotensi untuk mensubstitusi komposit serat sintetis sebagai material teknik. Serat alam mempunyai kekurangan karena mempunyai scatter sifat mekanik yang sangat besar. Salah satu cara untuk mengatasi kekurangan tersebut adalah melalui pemilihan proses manufaktur (fabrikasi) komposit. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah membuat prototype komposit plastik berpenguat serat abaca (AFRP)  menggunakan metode Vakum (Vacum Assested Resin Infusion (VARI)). Semua spesimen dilakukan postcure pada suhu 800 C selama 2 jam. Sifat mekanik dari komposit dievaluasi uji tariknya. Komposit AFRP difabrikasi dengan fraksi volume (Vf) : 20%, 30% , 40%, serta ukuran spesimen uji (140x5x1) mm. Dengan proses fabrikasi sebagai berikut: 1) Serat abaca disusun dalam cetakan kaca yang memanjang sejajar (00) kemudian dimasukkan ke dalam kantong plastik vakum. 2) Resin dicampur hardener dialirkan kedalam cetakan yang sudah kondisi vakum. Metode cetakan ini dapat menghilangkan gelembung udara di dalam komposit sehingga diharapkan kekuatan tarik komposit menjadi lebih tinggi.  Bahan-bahan yang diperlukan dalam penelitian ini adalah: Serat abaca, Resin BTQN 157-EX, Hardener MEKPO dan Wax. Peralatan yang diperlukan adalah: Instalasi cetak vakum, Alat uji tarik, Kamera digital, dan Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Penampang patahan diselidiki untuk mengidentifikasi mekanisme perpatahannya.  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kekuatan dan regangan tarik komposit memiliki harga optimum untuk (Vf) 40%, yaitu 257 Mpa dan 0.44%.  Penampang patahan komposit diklasifikasikan sebagai jenis patah slitting in multiple area sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa komposit plastik berpenguat serat abaca memiliki potensi yang cukup besar untuk diaplikasikan sebagai material struktural. Kata kunci: Serat Abaca, AFRP, Kekuatan tarik, VARI, Scanning Electron Microscope AbstractInnovation in composite materials demands the creation of more environmentally friendly materials. Currently the composite of natural fibers (green material) should be considered to be a material that has the potential to substitute synthetic fiber composites as engineering materials. Natural fibers have disadvantages because they have a very large mechanical properties scatter. One way to overcome these shortcomings is through the selection of a composite manufacturing (fabrication) process. The purpose of this research is to make prototype of plastic composite with abaca fiber (AFRP) using Vacuum Assured Resin Infusion (VARI)). All specimens were performed postcure at 800 C for 2 hours. The mechanical properties of the composites are evaluated by the tensile test. The AFRP composite is fabricated by volume fraction (Vf): 20%, 30%, 40%, as well as test specimen size (140x5x1) mm. With the fabrication process as follows: 1) Abaca fiber is arranged in a parallel laminated glass mold (00) then put in a vacuum plastic bag. 2) The resin in the mixed hardener flowed into a mold that has a vacuum condition. This mold method can remove air bubbles inside the composite so that the expected composite tensile strength becomes higher. The materials needed in this research are: Abaca fiber, BTQN 157-EX Resin, MEKPO and Wax Hardener. The necessary equipment are: Vacuum printing installation, Tensile test equipment, Digital camera, and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Fault cross sections were investigated to identify the fracture mechanism. The results showed that the strength and composite tensile strain had the optimum price for (Vf) 40%, ie 257 Mpa and 0.44%. The composite fault cross section is classified as a type of broken slitting in multiple areas so it can be concluded that the plastic composite of abaca fibers has considerable potential to be applied as a structural material. Keywords: Abaca Fiber, AFRP, Tensile Strength, VARI, Scanning Electron Microscope

Ductility and tensile strength are among the basic mechanical properties of polymers. Generally, it is difficult to enhance the ductility without significantly reducing the tensile strength. In this study, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is mixed with 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, and 12.5% polyamide 6 (PA6). The results show that the sample containing 100% TPU has the largest elongation of 690.5%. When PA6 is added, the elongation decreases gradually to 635.0%, 623.1%, 529.5%, 476.0%, 391.3%, and 242.8%, corresponding to 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5%, and 100% PA6, respectively. The tensile strengths are 36.7, 33.8, 29.4, 26.5, 23.1, and 24.9 MPa, corresponding to 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, and 12.5% PA6 samples, respectively. The tensile strength decreases gradually when the PA6 content is increased. Notably, the tensile strength of the 12.5% PA6 sample increases compared to the 10% PA6 sample. In addition, the hardness of the TPU/PA blend increases slightly as the PA6 ratio is increased. Finally, scanning electron microscope images demonstrate that PA6 particles act as particles dispersed or dissolved in TPU/PA blends.

Mechanical properties of Al-12Zn-2.4Mg-1.2Cu alloy extruded sheet were investigated by tensile tests. Microstructures were investigated by optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The result shows that no matter in the L direction or in the T direction, the tensile strength and yield strength decrease with the increasing of the extrusion temperature in different states. The tensile strength and yield strength in the L direction are higher than in the T direction at different extrusion temperatures and different treatment states. When temperature is 340°C, the highest tensile strength is 780 MPa and the highest yield strength is 753 MPa in the two-stage solution and two-stage aging state. The reason for the higher mechanical properties are in the L direction in different states is mainly depend on the distribution direction of the grains.

Abstract The article presents research results performed on aluminum bronze CuAl10Fe5Ni5 (BA1055) castings used for marine propellers. Metallographic studies were made on light microscope and a scanning electron microscope to assess quantitatively and qualitatively the alloy microstructure. It has been shown that the shape, size and distribution of the iron-rich к−phase precipitates in bronze microstructure significantly affect its mechanical properties. With an increase in the number of small к−phase precipitates increases the tensile strength of castings, while the presence of large globular precipitates improves ductility. Fragmentation and shape of κ−phase precipitates depends on many factors, particularly on the chemical composition of the alloy, Fe/Ni ratio, cooling rate and casting technology.
