A good level of surface roughness as one of the benchmarks for turning the workpiece is said to be of high quality. As a cutting tool, lathe chisels need free angles and exhaust angles according to the desired specifications. This study aims to determine the effect of variations in the size of the tool angle and how much free angle and exhaust angle are best used on the surface roughness of St 41 steel. The study was conducted using a lathe brand Bemato series 44376 with process parameters consisting of a spindle speed of 280 m /min, the infeed depth is 0.8 mm, and the infeed speed is 0.040 mm/rev. The research method used is an experimental method and the results of the turning process are measured the level of surface roughness using a surface roughness tester. Based on the results of the specimen measurements, it is found that there are differences in surface roughness produced by variations in the free angle (α) and exhaust angle (β). As for the lowest roughness value of the whole specimen turning process is in the turning process with variations in angle 6° and angle sudut 10° with a surface roughness value (Ra) of 2,555 m.

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a technique of 3D Printing machines that is popularly used to print products. The printed product certainly has the ideal tensile strength characteristics if it has a precise size and good shape according to the standard. One of the materials that can be processed in a 3D printing machine is ST PLA. Research in terms of tensile testing has been carried out on PLA/ABS materials. However, tensile testing with annealing process using ST PLA filament is still very rarely done. From these problems, it is necessary to research to obtain optimal process parameters on 3D printing machines, to obtain the highest tensile strength from the annealing process using ST PLA material. This research was conducted using a 3D printer DIY Prusa model with a printing area of ​​XYZ, 300 mm x 300 mm x 350 mm. The material used is ST PLA filament with a diameter of 1.75 mm in green. The process parameters in this research are layer thickness, nozzle temperature and flow rate. For annealing media use beach sand, coffee and wheat. The shape of the test specimen follows the ASTM D638 type IV standard. As for the design of the process parameters using the Taguchi L9 method (33). The process parameter values ​​that produce the highest tensile strength without annealing are layer thickness 0.3 mm, nozzle temperature 205oC, and flow rate 100%. The annealing process parameters that produce the highest tensile strength are annealing time of 15 minutes, oven temperature of 110oC, for annealing media using coffee.

The benchmark for the results of the machining process can be seen from the results of the products, one of which is the level of surface smoothness. The purpose of this experimental research is to find out how much cutting speed (Vc) and depth of cutting produce a workpiece with the smoothest level of surface roughness for the turning process carried out by students at the Bangka Belitung State Manufacturing Polytechnic Workshop. This research is using experimental method. The cutting speeds (Vc) used were 23 m/min, 24 m/min, 25 m/min, the cutting depths used were 0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, and 1.0 mm and the feeding speed was set at 0.040 mm/rev. The results showed that the best turning results using a cutting speed (Vc) of 23 m/min was using a cutting depth of 0.5 mm with a roughness value (Ra) of 1.372 m, using a cutting speed (Vc) of 24 m/min using a depth of cut. 0.5 mm with a roughness value (Ra) of 1.189 m and using a cutting speed (Vc) of 25 m/min using a depth of 0.5 mm with a surface roughness value (Ra) of 3.14 m.

Asphalt mixing plant machine is a tool used to process several materials into road asphalt, where it is necessary to know how to analyze the vibration characteristics of the asphalt mixing plant machine based on the capacity of making asphalt road in horizontal, vertical and longitudinal areas based on the time domain. The research method is carried out by collecting data on the amount of deviation, speed and acceleration that arise due to the processing of several materials so as to produce road asphalt based on differences in the capacity of different asphalt processed. Based on the measurement results, it is found that the highest vibration occurs at the asphalt mixing plant machine seat for a capacity of 60 tons/hour where the magnitude of the deviation is 0.222 mm in the horizontal direction at 100 seconds, the largest velocity is 11.99 mm/s horizontally in the second 40 mm/s and the largest acceleration is 369.7 mm/s2 in the horizontal direction of the 20th second. According to the ISO IS 2372 standard, the vibration of the Apollo ANP-1500 asphalt mixing plant machine enters class IV with a generator capacity above 75 KW, to be more precise (150KVA = 120KW). Then it can be analyzed that the generator vibration falls into the category of "vibration within tolerance limits and is only operated for a limited time" where the highest speed is 11.99 mm/s.

The use of pumps in the industrial world, especially in power plants, cannot be separated from problems that arise that can cause losses. The research was conducted at PLTU 2 X 115 MW by taking a case that had happened to the pump, namely the Open Cycle Cooling Water Pump 2A. The analytical method used in this final project is the vibration analysis method, namely by reading the spectrum of the data retrieval results so that it can be seen what happens to the equipment that experiences an increase in vibration.  Bearing damage can be seen in the spectrum image of the measurement results, where the appearance of the spectrum in the high frequency range is an indication of bearing damage. And the high vibration which reaches 13.06 mm/s and is already in the danger category based on ISO 10816-3.

Aluminum foam is a very interesting material to develop. This material is a material that has a combination of characteristics between physical and mechanical properties such as high stiffness and low density. There are several processes for making aluminum foam that have been developed, either through the liquid, solid, or gas phases. And of these various processes, the process of making aluminum foam through the liquid phase by using the gas injection method is the simplest and cheapest process. The principle of the process of making aluminum foam with this method is that bubbles are produced from the process of blowing the gas into the aluminum liquid in which there are additive particles that function as a bubble stabilizer. These stable bubbles will become pores after the aluminum liquid solidifies. This research will discuss the effect of the weight fraction of alumina powder with an average size of 5.77 μm added to liquid aluminum on the macro-pore structure in the form of shape and size as well as the spread of the resulting pores. And the result is that the optimal weight fraction of adding alumina powder is 15%, where the resulting pores have a more homogeneous and evenly shaped and sized.
