Anodizing is one way of coating oxidation on aluminum, which is carried out by anodic oxidation at room temperature with the help of an electric current so that a chemical reaction occurs so that a layer is produced that can protect the metal from the effects of corrosion. The objective of this study was to determine the characterization of variations in electric voltage on surface hardness in the anodizing aluminum series 6. Specimens were made with dimensions of 50 mm × 25 mm with a thickness of 10 mm, then the cleaning process was carried out with a solution of sodium carbonate (Na 2 CO 3 ) with a concentration of 50 gr/100 ml of reverse osmosis (RO) water. The etching, desmut, and anodizing processes were continued with a solution concentration of 400 ml of sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ) and 600 ml of RO water. The electric voltage variables used were 20, 24, and 28-V with a current of 2 A and an immersion time of 10 min. The results of the highest hardness test on a variable voltage of 20-V with a Vickers hardness value of 59.117 VHN. This proves that anodizing treatment on the surface of aluminum material with a variable voltage of 20 V will produce a high Vickers hardness value. These results indicate that the toughness of the material on the anodized specimen is also affected by the magnitude of the electric voltage.
In the Industry 4.0 era, manufacturers compete to produce better products that are expected to satisfy a larger number of customers. We propose a recommendation system for upgrading products considering user preferences. This approach is based on the dominating regions of dominant competitors. The dominating region represents the estimation of the number of potential customers. However, examining overlapped dominating regions for a high dimensional space is NP-hard. We propose a novel method named TDRDFS which constructs a Dominant Graph of Intersection skyline points (DGI) for modeling the dominating regions. Our experiments show that TDRDFS significantly reduces computation. Based on our approach, product vendors are able to determine the strategy of upgrading products easily.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
