"The present work aims to improve the microstructure and hardness related properties of age hardened Al6061-SiC reinforced composites produced by a two stage stir casting method. Three composites with 2, 4, and 6wt. % (35-40?m) of SiC reinforcement are subjected to microstructural examination and hardness test at different locations to analyse the uniform distribution of the reinforcements in the matrix. As-cast composites are solution-treated at 558°C, followed by an aging treatment conducted at 100, 150, and 200°C, during which peak hardness values are noted. The peak aged samples are subjected to hardness and wear tests. In line with the objectives, ranges from 80-100% and 120-145% additional increase in hardness values are observed over as-cast alloy during the aging treatment conducted at 100, 150 and 200°C, respectively. Lower temperature aging shows substantial improvement in hardness and wear resistance over high temperature aging in each respective group. Also higher weight percentages of reinforced composites show excellent wear resistance, due to the presence of eroded iron particles from the counter surface which is regarded as a beneficial effect during the wear test. The presence of SiC particles provides more sites for the nucleation of fine precipitates. These fine precipitates hinder the movement of dislocation and thus increases hardness as well as wear resistance after the precipitation hardening treatment."

"The present study investigated the mechanical properties and microstructure of ultrafine grained (UFG) brass processed by four passes of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) and annealed at elevated temperatures. The mechanical properties of all samples were assessed using tensile and micro-hardness tests. Microstructure analysis was performed using optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Ultimate tensile strengths (UTS) and yield strengths (YS) of 878 and 804 MPa, respectively, ductility of 15%, and hardness of 248 HV were obtained for samples processed by four passes of ECAP with equivalent true strain of 4.20. Annealing at 300°C caused UTS and YS to decrease significantly, to 510 and 408 MPa, respectively, ductility to increase to 28%, and hardness to decrease to 165 HV. Fractography analysis of un-annealed samples after four ECAP passes showed small brittle fractures with shallow dimpling. Ductile failures were found on annealed samples. After four ECAP passes, the microstructure of un-annealed samples was UFG and dominated by lamellar grain with shear band. In contrast, after annealing, the microstructure changed due to recrystallization, showing nucleation and grain growth."

"In this paper, two highly sensitive photonic crystal fiber (PCF) structures with microstructure core and cladding have been demonstrated for Ethanol sensing. The microstructure core of both proposed PCFs is designed with supplementary holes in an octagonal formation. We have investigated the relative sensitivity and the confinement loss of the proposed PCF structures employing a full vectorial finite element method (FEM). The proposed PCFs work at a wide transmission band covering 0.8 µm to 2 µm and exhibit high sensitivity and low confinement loss simultaneously. The numerical analysis shows that the circular shape of air holes in the first ring is a more salient attribute for increasing sensitivity and the presence of the square shape of air holes in the first ring shows better performance to reduce confinement loss."

"The aim of this handbook is to provide a comprehensive summary of sensing and measurement in precision manufacturing, which is essential for process and quality control. The importance of precision sensing and measurements lies not only in the ability to distinguish whether the manufactured part meets the assigned tolerances through inspection but also, in many cases, reduce the deviation of the manufactured part from the designed values through improvement of the process or compensation manufacturing based on the sensing and measurement results. The information provided in the book will be of interest to industrial practitioners and researchers in the field of precision manufacturing sensing and measurements."

"Penelitian ini didasari adanya masalah crack pada produk bucket tooth yang menggunakan material baja HSLA di industri alat berat setelah 2 bulan pengiriman ke pelanggan(delayed crack). Penelitian sebelumnya mengemukakan bahwa delayed crack ini diduga akibat adanya austenite sisa yang bersifat metastabil. Austenite sisa dapat bertransformasi menjadi martensite sehingga terjadi peningkatan volume dan tegangan internal yang menyebabkan delayed crack. Penelitian ini berfokus mengurangi austenite sisa dengan variasi suhu tempering. Suhu temper yang digunakan adalah 155°C, 205°C, 255°C, dan 305°C Mikrostruktur menunjukkan adanya transformation zone yaitu daerah dimana transformasi fasa yang terjadi belum sempurna. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan jumlah austenite sisa dan nilai kekerasan menurun ketika suhu temper dinaikkan.

This research is based on the problem of crack on bucket tooth products using HSLA steel material in heavy equipment industry after 2 months of delivery to customers (delayed crack). Previous studies have suggested that the delayed crack is thought to be due to metastable retained austenite. The retained austenite can be transformed into martensite which causes an increase in internal volume and stress resulting in delayed crack. This research focuses on reducing retained austenite with variations in tempering temperature. Tempering temperatures used were 155°C, 205°C, 255°C, and 305°C. Microstructure shows that there is a transformation zone, which is an area where phase transformation is not yet perfect. The results of this study indicate the amount of remaining austenite and the value of hardness decreases when the temper temperature is raised."

"Komposit aluminium 6061 dengan partikel penguat alumina memiliki kekerasan dan ketahanan aus yang baik serta mempunyai densitas yang rendah. Komposit aluminium 6061 dibuat dengan proses stir casting (pengadukan). Komposit aluminium dengan 10% alumina dilakukan proses perlakuan panas T6 (penuaan buatan) pada suhu yang berbeda : 150, 175, 200, dan 225oC. Variasi suhu dilakukan untuk mendapatkan puncak penuaan.Perlakuan panas ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pada suhu tertentu komposit akan mengalami under aging (penuaan muda) maupun penuaan berkelanjutan. Sifat mekanis pada perlakuan penuaan 175oC didapatkan nilai kekerasan dan ketahanan aus yang baik. Hal ini membuktikan pada suhu 175oC merupakan puncak penuaan. Akan tetapi, nilai kekuatan komposit aluminium yang didapat rendah. Hal ini disebabkan oleh void, kluster, dan kemampubasahan antara matriks dan partikel penguat yang kurang baik. Perlakuan panas pada suhu 175 oC menghasilkan presipitat yang optimal sehingga dapat menghalangi pergerakan dislokasi dan meningkatkan nilai kekerasan dan ketahanan aus.

6061 aluminum composite with alumina particles reinforced have high hardness and wear resistance as well as having a low density. 6061 aluminum composites made by stir casting process. Composite aluminum with 10% alumina done T6 heat treatment process (Artificial Aging) at different temperatures: 150, 175, 200, and 225oC. Temperature variations performed to obtain peak aging.

This heat treatment aims to find out at a certain temperature composites will experience under aging and over aging. The mechanical properties obtained at temperature of 175oC have high hardness and wear resistance. This proves at temperature 175oC is peak aging. However, aluminum composite strength values obtained low. It is caused by voids, clusters, and wettabillity between matrix and reinforcement particles that are less good. Heat treatment at a temperature of 175 oC produces optimal precipitates that can hinder the movement of dislocations and increase the value of hardness and wear resistance."
