INTRODUCTION Recently, novel polymers including polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) have been used for spinal cages because of their advantages such as radiolucency, low incidence of artifacts on magnetic resonance imaging scans, less bone subsidence, and the capacity to tailor its mechanical properties, as well as its safety for patients with metal allergies....

Teknik pengelasan semakin banyak dipergunakan secara luas dalam proses penyambungan plat-plat besi, kontruksi bangunan dan konstruksi mesin. Salah satu metode yang sering dipakai, yaitu gas metal arc welding (GMAW). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui parameter terbaik pada Pengelasan GMAW terhadap struktur mikro, makro kekerasan Material ASTM A537 A653 DDS (galvanis). Metode digunaka...

ABSTRACT: – The increasing awareness of environment, government has promoted great interest in selected waste collection and has attracted the interest of research groups to challenge of converting recycled plastic into useful products. Converting PET containing film laminate waste is studied to obtain a new material with enhanced properties. In present study different percentage of film lamina...

Two tribological pairs used for artificial joints were studied. Wear tests were performed in a pin-on-disc type machine modified to allow lubrication ith bovine serum. The pins were made of either AISI F138 stainless steel or ASTM F136 titanium alloy, while the discs were manufactured with ltra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). The tested pairs were ASTM F138 stainless steel–UHMWPE a...

With the increasing focus on developing environmentally benign electronic packages, Pb-free alloys have received a great deal of attention. Mishandling of packages during manufacture, assembly or by the user may cause failure of the solder joint. A fundamental understanding of the behavior of Pb-free solders under mechanical shock conditions is lacking. Reliable experimental stress–strain data ...

The influence of deicing chemicals on alkali reactivity of aggregates is still an area of active research. The potential alkali reactivity of aggregates is often tested using the ASTM C1260 method. This research used the modified ASTM C1260 to test the potential alkali reactivity of aggregates. The modification included replacing the standard 1N sodium hydroxide (NaOH) used in ASTM C1260 with e...
