ANALISIS KEMAMPUAN SELF HEALING PADA LAPIS ASPAL BETON DENGAN LIMBAH BUBUTAN BAJA SEBAGAI BAHAN TAMBAH

Steel waste is waste generated from a large or small amount of steel production process. The results of steel waste disposal can pollute the environment if not done a good treatment and countermeasure so that it has value benefits. This study uses steel lathe waste additives to determine the self-healing ability of asphalt in the AC-WC mixture. Steel lathe waste used with varying degrees of steel lathe 0%, 0,25%, 0,5%, 0,75%, 1% and asphalt content used by 5,5%. After obtaining the data used in the study, samples were made for asphalt mixtures with varying degrees. Then the finished sample is divided into 4 parts to be tested for temperature rise on each steel lathe mixture using a thermal camera. And tested using a threepoint bending test to determine the ability of asphalt selfhealing in the AC-WC mixture that occurs for 5 cycles with a heating duration of 20 seconds, 40 seconds, 60 seconds. From the results of the research on the content of a mixture of 0% steel lathe proved the sample can do self-healing but the results obtained are not as good as when using variations in the added ingredients of steel fiber mixture 0,25%, 0,5%, 0,75% and 1%.

Magneto-Rheological Fluid Assisted Abrasive Nanofinishing of β-Phase Ti-Nb-Ta-Zr Alloy: Parametric Appraisal and Corrosion Analysis

The present work explores the potential of magneto-rheological fluid assisted abrasive finishing (MRF-AF) for obtaining precise surface topography of an in-house developed β-phase Ti-Nb-Ta-Zr (TNTZ) alloy for orthopedic applications. Investigations have been made to study the influence of the concentration of carbonyl iron particles (CIP), rotational speed (Nt), and working gap (Gp) in response to material removal (MR) and surface roughness (Ra) of the finished sample using a design of experimental technique. Further, the corrosion performance of the finished samples has also been analyzed through simulated body fluid (SBF) testing. It has been found that the selected input process parameters significantly influenced the observed MR and Ra values at 95% confidence level. Apart from this, it has been found that Gp and Nt exhibited the maximum contribution in the optimized values of the MR and Ra, respectively. Further, the corrosion analysis of the finished samples specified that the resistance against corrosion is a direct function of the surface finish. The morphological analysis of the corroded morphologies indicated that the rough sites of the implant surface have provided the nuclei for corrosion mechanics that ultimately resulted in the shredding of the appetite layer. Overall results highlighted that the MRF-AF is a potential technique for obtaining nano-scale finishing of the high-strength β-phase Ti-Nb-Ta-Zr alloy.

Design guidelines for plastic casting using 3D printing

The main aim of the presented tests was to assess the possibility of using 3D printing and casting material to produce casting molds and prototypes, especially in production of existing models. The analysis was based on the assessment of dimensional accuracy and quality of the surface layer of a finished prototype and the intermediate elements made during the production process. The mold was made using the PolyJet Matrix additive technology, and then a silicone mold was cast which was used to prepare a finished sample for testing in accordance with the design assumptions. Based on the results of metrological measurements, the phenomenon of technological inheritance in terms of error transfer in the foundry industry was evaluated. The measurements obtained suggest that in case of casting process, the hereditary features are transferred from individual casting processes, which is especially prominent in the case of surface texture quality. This confirms the occurrence of the phenomenon of the so-called technological inheritance and the need to analyze it. The results of the tests can be a guide for technologists who design molds, core boxes, and casting models, concerning the corrections (shrinkage) that need to be introduced at the design stage in order to obtain a product (casting) of satisfactory dimensional accuracy and quality of the surface layer. The result can also be useful for casting materials reinforced with glass fiber, carbon fiber, which are common materials in 3D printing and textile industry.

PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF A NEW CLAY-BASED SORBENT

The main physical and chemical parameters of a new sorbent developed on the basis of the minerals of the Samara region: clays, peat and dolomite are considered. The particle size of the clay after grinding at the stage of preliminary preparation was less than 1 nm, which relates them to highly dispersed materials. A chemical analysis of the composition of the components showed a high content of silicon and aluminum oxides, which possess ion exchange properties, and also made it possible to assign clays to montmorillonite rocks. The modification of the sorbent was carried out by thermal method. The density of the finished sample was 1.8 g / cm3. The method of scanning electron microscopy showed that the structure of the finished sample belongs to spongy bodies. The method of IR spectrometry confirmed the presence of functional groups in the crystal lattice of the sorbent, which cause not only the physical, but also the ion exchange and chemical nature of sorption.

The Research of Carbon Steel Surface Finished by Pulse Electrochemical Finishing Technology

This paper deals with a new finishing technique called pulse electrochemical finishing technology (PECF) and its application to column surface of carbon steel. PECF makes use of pulse current and neutral electrolyte. There is nearly no wear of the cathode, and nearly no cutting force or cutting heat, which may result in the deformation of wokpiece. The principle of the technique is put forward, and the equipment as well as a typical finished sample is shown in this paper. The key technological parameters of PECF are studied and the favorable values are presented. With the moving cathode PECF technology, the roughness value of ground surface could be reduced from Ra 0.217～1.13μm to Ra 0.041μm. Combined with NC technology, PECF could be applied to the finishing field widely.
