Development of a Green Corrosion Inhibitor from Lophatherum Gracile Extract for Steel Protection

Corrosion constitutes a significant challenge in the context of infrastructure development, with particular implications for steel materials. One common method for preventing corrosion is the application of inhibitor materials. Inhibitors are classified into two main categories: organic inhibitors and inorganic inhibitors. Inorganic inhibitors are costly and may have adverse environmental effects. Consequently, organic inhibitors that are cost-effective and environmentally benign were developed. One plant that has the potential to be used as an organic inhibitor is Lophatherum gracile B. (Lophatherum gracile Brogn), due to its antioxidant compounds that can prevent corrosion. The objective of this research is to analyze the effect of the Lophatherum gracile B. extract inhibitor on the corrosion rate and its inhibition efficiency on reinforcing steel. The weight loss method was employed to determine the corrosion rate in a 3% sodium chloride (NaCl) medium, with concentration variations of 0%, 2%, and 4% over a duration of 24, 72, and 96 hours. The findings indicated that the lowest corrosion rate was observed at the 4% concentration, while the highest rate was noted at the 0% concentration. The inhibition efficiency of the Lophatherum gracile B. extract was determined to be greater than 66%. The qualitative analysis of the macro photo material structure indicated that the steel surface treated with Lophatherum gracile B. extract exhibited a reduced level of corrosion in comparison to the control sample. Furthermore, the tensile strength testing demonstrated that the decline in the tensile strength of steel could be attenuated through the use of inhibitors. These findings suggest that the Lophatherum gracile B. extract is an effective inhibitor material for reinforcing steel.

Study Of The Effect Of Variations In Fiber Orientation On The Tensile Strength Properties Of Polyester Composites Reinforced Abaca Fiber

A composite is a material formed from a combination of two or more constituent materials using a heterogeneous mixing process, whose mechanical properties vary. The aim of this research is to compare the tensile strength values ​​of abaca banana stem fiber polyester composites with variations in fiber orientation. The fiber orientation used is parallel, random and woven. The method used is a hand lay-up press with a fiber volume fraction of 30% and the resin itself uses BQTN 157 EX polyester resin with a hand lay-up method using a glass mold. The test was carried out by tensile testing using the ASTM D3039 measurement standard and macro photos. The results of research on tensile testing show that composites with variations in parallel fiber orientations reinforced with abaca banana stem fibers have an average tensile strength of 39.63 MPa, variations in random fiber orientation have an average tensile strength of 32.87 MPa and variations in fiber orientation woven has an average tensile strength of 25.90 MPa. From the results of macro photo fracture observations, it was found that the type of fracture is a brittle fracture on an uneven fracture surface which causes fiber pull-out where the fibers appear to be coming out of the specimen because the matrix and fibers are not strongly bonded and the fracture is also caused by voids near the fibers.

Influence of MIG Welding Process Parameters on the Strength of Bimetal Joints: Study of Gas Flow Rate and Macrofractures

Bimetal joints are often used in various industries, such as automotive, power generation, electronics, and manufacturing. This is because bimetal joints allow the joining of two types of metal with different properties. Welding two different types of metal can pose its own challenges, such as the difficulty of controlling welding parameters so that the results are optimal for both types of metal, as well as differences in the thermal and mechanical properties of the two metals. This has led to extensive research on bimetal plate connections. Based on this background, this research aims to determine the effect of variations in flow rate and current strength on the tensile strength of robotic welding bimetal welded joints, as well as determine the results of macro photos of fractures resulting from tensile tests for each variation. The research was carried out experimentally where each variation was repeated with data 3 times. Based on the results and discussion, it is known that the optimal gas flow rate in general is 20 l/min, where the tensile strength reaches 353.1442 MPa–455.5458 MPa. At this flow rate, the dominant fracture occurs in the base metal and is ductile, which indicates good plastic deformation. On the other hand, gas flow that is too low or too high causes joint defects and reduces the tensile strength. Meanwhile, other welding parameters, namely variations in welding current, affect tensile strength. At a gas flow of 10 l/min, increasing the current to 180 A produces the highest tensile strength of 449.4357 MPa with ductile fracture characteristics. However, at a current of 120 A there is a significant decrease due to overheating, especially at higher gas flows such as 20 l/min and 30 l/min, which results in brittle fracture in the heat-affected zone (HAZ). The results of this research contribute to the understanding of the influence of welding parameters on the tensile strength and fracture characteristics of bimetallic joints. This research can be a reference for the development of more efficient and reliable welding processes in various industries, such as automotive, power generation and manufacturing, which require bimetallic joints with optimal quality.

This research was carried out with the aim of determining the values ​​of impact toughness, tensile strength, and failure patterns that occur in the fracture cross section of the specimen through macro photographs. In this research, a hybrid composite was formed by combining ampelous bamboo fiber, fiberglass, and polyester resin. Variations in volume fraction applied include: 5%:25%:70%, 10%:25%:65%, and 15%:25%:60%. The specimens were formed according to ASTM E23 standards for impact tests and ASTM D638 for tensile tests. The results of the impact and tensile tests showed that the lowest value of impact toughness was 0.0744 J/mm² and tensile stress was 120.29 MPa. Meanwhile, the highest value for impact toughness was 0.0986 J/mm² and the tensile stress value was 147.65 MPa. Macro photo analysis of the fracture cross section is categorized as splitting in multiple areas and the fracture cross section also shows debonding and fiber pull out after the fracture occurred.

Corrosion rates of Steel ST 37 varied marginally across time variables and solutions. NaCl corrosion rates at 4, 6, and 8 hours averaged 4.5232, 5.8418, and 6.7148 mmpy, respectively. For MgCl2, rates were 4.2564, 5.3436, and 6.0915 mmpy, respectively. Stainless steel exhibited higher resistance compared to Steel ST 37. In conclusion, both NaCl and MgCl2 solutions accelerate corrosion, with NaCl inducing a higher rate. Stainless steel outperforms Steel ST 37, and the chamber material displays resilience against atmospheric corrosion.
