In this work, ball peening was performed in order to evaluate its effect on the AISI 316L hardness. The process was conducted by employing AISI E52100 Chrome Steel ball which has hardness 752 HVN as bomber. In this research ball peening process was performed at three different nozzle pressure (6, 7, and 8 bar) for 5 minutes. Vickers Micro Hardness Tester and Digital Optical Microscope was used to characterize the samples hardness and grains structure respectively. The results showed that the hardness of AISI 316L was improved. It may due to plastic deformation which toke places on its grains.

Biofuels from waste cooking oil (WCO) represent a sizable opportunity not only in terms of energy production but also as a way for sustainable development despite their low yield, higher viscosity, lengthy production time and cost. Alternatively, biodiesel can be blended at an appropriate blending ratio with convention diesel oils. The biodiesel and its blends is proved to give better emission characteristics than conventional diesel oils. This study aims to experimentally investigate the effect of the fuel blend on the combustion characteristics of WCO biodiesel. The characteristic are the droplet size, flame height, flame width and temperature distribution. In this study, the blended fuel are B0 (Solar), B10, B20, B30, B40 and B100 (WCO biodiesel). Measurement and visualization of the combustion flame for each variation of the fuel mixture was were tested at different pressures, namely 4 bar and 5 bar. The experimental results show that the droplet size increases with increasing WCO concentration in the fuel; on the other hand, visualization and calculations show that the height and width of the flame of the fuel mixture decreases Observation on the temperature distribution shows that the WCO biodiesel mixture has the potential to increase the fire temperature at certain points

The purpose of this work is to reveal the surface roughness and topography of AISI 316L stainless steel due to electropolishing processes. In this paper, AISI 316L was electropolished in various times of immersion and various voltage of the processes. The mechanism of electropolishing is eroding the surface of the substrate by controlling the electron excitation process. The electropolishing processes were carried out at 4, 5, and 6 minutes also in three different voltage 4, 6, and 8 volts. The results show that the surface roughness decrease as the treatment time and also as an increase in voltage.

This study aims to determine the various effect of heat input due to varied electric current on microstructure of the weld joints and the bending strength of 2 dissimilar metals (aluminum alloy 5052 and galvanized steel) with Al-Si 4043 as filler. This experimental research was worked out by varying the strength of the current which can then be calculated into a heat input. The current inputs applied were 30.8 J / mm (70A), 35.2 J / mm (80A) and 39.6 J / mm (90A) while the protective gas flow rate used is 14 liters / minute. This study showed that the increase in heat input greatly affects the shape of the weld area microstructure, i.e. the microstructure and bending strength. Greater heat input due to higher current can melt larger area, so that the join process occured better. The highest bending strength at 9.05 Mpa was achieved for heat input at 39.6 J / mm or strong current of 90 A. The weakest bending strength at 8.88 Mpa was achieved for heat input at 35.2 J / mm or a strong current of 70 A.

In this paper, the effect of abrasive water jet cutting process on the surface character of medical implant SS316L was investigated. This research focuses on the effect of traverse speed during abrasive water jet cutting on the surface roughness and topography of medical implant material SS316L. In some study, it has been noted that the roughness of implant material correlates with the healing process of a sufferer in medical application. Furthermore, transverse speed has an important role in the manufacturing process that correlates directly with the ability of technic to produce a product at a definite time. Garnet was used as an abrasive material in this water jet cutting process. The process was taking place in room temperature with 3000Psi of water pressure. In this study, the surface roughness was examined at all point of depth of the cut surface in all of the transverse speed using Mitutoyo SJ 210, while the surface topography observed by Olympus BX53M optical microscope. The study results reveal that traverse speed has a significant effect on the surface roughness at the surface, middle, and bottom of the cut point. The Surface roughness increase as transverse speed.
