The Al-20Si-5Fe-3Cu-1Mg alloy was fabricated using selective laser melting (SLM). The microstructure and properties of the as-prepared SLM, post-treated SLM, and SLM with substrate plate heating are studied. The as-prepared SLM sample shows a non-uniform microstructure with four different phases: fcc-αAl, eutectic Al-Si, Al2MgSi, and δ-Al4FeSi2. With thermal treatment, the phases become coarser and the δ-Al4FeSi2 phase transforms partially to β-Al5FeSi. The sample produced with SLM substrate plate heating shows a relatively uniform microstructure without a distinct difference between hatch overlaps and track cores. Room temperature compression test results show that an as-prepared SLM sample reaches a maximum strength (862 MPa) compared to the heat-treated (524 MPa) and substrate plate heated samples (474 MPa) due to the presence of fine microstructure and the internal stresses. The reduction in strength of the sample produced with substrate plate heating is due to the coarsening of the microstructure, but the plastic deformation shows an improvement (20%). The present observations suggest that substrate plate heating can be effectively employed not only to minimize the internal stresses (by impacting the cooling rate of the process) but can also be used to modulate the mechanical properties in a controlled fashion.

The influences of low temperature on the interlaminar properties for PBO fiber/epoxy composites have been studied at liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K) in terms of three point bending test. Results showed that the interlaminar shear strength at 77 K were significantly higher than those at room temperature (RT). For the analysis of the test results, the tensile behaviors of epoxy resin at both room temperature and liquid nitrogen temperature were investigated. The interface between fiber and matrix was observed using SEM images.

Fish is one of the high-protein foods that are very helpful for the development of the human brain. Then, it is necessary to maintain the freshness of the fish for consumption. At this time, fishers and fishmongers preserve the freshness of fish by using Ice in the fish storage. However, it is considered ineffective due to improper ice change time. Therefore, monitoring temperature is very important and helpful to find the right time when replacing the Ice used to ensure the quality of fish. The development of this device uses Arduino ESP32, DHT21 Sensor, Micro SD Module, Internet of Things system, monitoring using Blynk Application and notifications using Telegram App. DHT21 sensor test results obtained a data conformity level (Error Level) of 2%. At the fish storage room temperature, there is the lowest temperature of 10.50 oC and ice temperature conditions in the storage of 0 oC. Therefore, the best state to keep fish fresh that researchers want is 0 oC to 2 oC at ice temperatures or 11.50 oC obtained in testing the time it takes to replace Ice by about 10 hours.

Nutmeg oleoresin microcapsule is the solid, liquid, and gas coating technology of the nutmeg fruit.  The purpose of this study was to know how mace nutmeg oleoresin microcapsules could preserve the broiler chicken meat at room temperature during 4 days of observation. The experimental design used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 5 treatments with mace concentration of nutmeg microcapsules oleoresin (0, 50, 100, 150, and 200) ppm. The variables observed were water content, pH value, total microbes, and organoleptic properties (color, aroma, and texture). The results showed that mace nutmeg oleoresin microcapsules did not affect (p> 0.05)  water content and sensory properties of broiler chicken meat, but had a significant effect (p <0.05) on the pH value and total microbe at the same day of room temperature storage. Panel organoleptic test results on the level of preference for meat color, aroma, and texture of chicken meat were in the range score of 3 (somewhat like) to 4 (somewhat dislike). The treatments of nutmeg oleoresin did not affect (p> 0.05) on color, the aroma, and the texture of broiler chicken meat. This research shows that marinating using oleoresin microcapsules has not been effective as a preservative to broiler chicken meat at room temperature. Keywords: chicken meat, mace nutmeg oleoresin microcapsules

Background and Objective: The demand for course aggregate is increasing every day. Natural aggregate used for ordinary concrete is obtained by quarrying, which cause serious environmental issues. An alternate course aggregate is needed for sustainable development. The objective of this research is to produce an alternative course aggregate in combination with soil available locally near site along with fly ash, to test its properties to make it fit for concrete. Method: An alternative coarse aggregate is produced from red soil and fly ash mixed at various ratios, 100:0, 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, 50:50, fresh aggregate granules of different sizes less than 10mm is prepared using hand press, the aggregates were sundried in shade for 24hours, oven dried at 110°C, burned in Muffle furnace at temperature of 950°C and cooled gradually to reach room temperature. After the production, the specific gravity, bulk density, water absorption, Impact and aggregate crushing of the aggregates were tested. Result: Test results showed that aggregates produced are of lesser specific gravity, density with relatively appreciable impact value and crushing value. Conclusion: The test results show that the aggregates produced can be used in construction as replacement for natural aggregates.

AbstractThe present work aims to research the treatment processing of magnesium reinforced with 1 μmsilicon carbide particle (SiCp) using stir casting combined by ultrasonic vibration. Present studies have been done on six different materials: (a) AZ31B alloy without particles, (b) 5 vol.% SiCp/AZ31B composites fabricated with different semi-solid stirring time (5 min, 10 min, 15 min and 20 min), (c) composite with 20 vol.% SiCp. The effects of 1 μm/SiCp pretreatment and stirring time on microstructure and interfacial wettability as well as mechanical properties of the materials were confirmed. Both short and long stirring time for the particle dispersion brought particle agglomeration. Results of SEM microstructure and tensile properties exhibited that the optimal stirring parameters of 625 °C/1500 rpm/15 min are exploited, and 20 vol.% SiCp/AZ31B composite was fabricated by the optimal stirring parameters. The application of optimal stirring parameters for the treatment resulted in homogeneous particle distribution. The addition of SiCp leads to a reduced matrix grain, and 20 vol.% SiCp/AZ31B composite showed smaller grain size than. 5 vol.% SiCp/AZ31B composite. The interface between SiCp and matrix is clear and interfacial wettability well. Tensile test results show that with increasing SiCp content, strengths increase while ductility decreases.

The rapid detection of asphalt content in asphalt mixture is of great significance to the quality evaluation of asphalt pavement. Based on the dielectric properties of an asphalt mixture, the prediction model of asphalt content is deduced theoretically using three types of dielectric models: Lichtenecker-Rother (L-R) model, Rayleigh model, and Bottcher equation. Under the condition of laboratory mixing at room temperature (about 20–25°C), a dielectric test of asphalt mixture is conducted to verify the applicability of the model. The test results indicate that the dielectric constant of the asphalt mixture is inversely proportional to the asphalt content and directly proportional to the aggregate size of the mixture. Among the models, the Rayleigh model has a wide range of applications and exhibits a high accuracy, with an average relative error of only 1.86%. The results provide a theoretical basis for the nondestructive testing of asphalt pavements using ground-penetrating radar.

It is known that bolt forces reduce significantly after tightening bolted flanged connections in which expanded PTFE gaskets are used. Bolts are often post-tightened in practice after a while to compensate for the reduction of bolt forces. The viscoelastic characteristic of expanded PTFE gaskets is the main cause for the phenomenon. However, the long term effects of the post-tightening on the residual bolt forces and the sealing performance of flanged connections have not been clarified yet. In this study, two sets of flanged connections (2 inch in nominal size), in which PTFE gaskets were used, were prepared and tightened. One of the flanges was post-tightened after a designated time. The reduction of bolt forces and the change in the sealing performance were measured for about two months. The results were compared with those of flanges without post-tightening. Based on the test results, the effectiveness of post-tightening was discussed from the viewpoint of the residual bolt force and the sealing performance. It has been clarified that the effectiveness of post-tightening depends on gasket material and that post-tightening is effective for expanded PTFE gaskets.
