Studi Eksperimen Pada Investment Casting Dengan Komposisi Ceramic Shell Yang Berbeda Dalam Pembuatan Produk Toroidal Piston

Piston yang terbuat dari bahan paduan aluminium dapat dibuat dengan investment casting. Porositas dan kekasaran permukaan yang tinggi sering terjadi pada produk cor hasil investment casting. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah kualitas ceramic shell yang kurang baik, sehingga diperlukan penelitian tentang komposisi ceramic shell pada investment casting terhadap kualitas produk, kekasaran permukaan, dan porositas produk cor. Eksperimen untuk membuat produk toroidal piston dilakukan dalam empat tahap. Tahap pertama adalah pembuatan master pola, cetakan pola dari silicon rubber, duplikasi pola lilin, dan perakitan pohon lilin. Tahap kedua pembuatan ceramic slurry dengan komposisi: tipe 1 (95% alumina dan 5% gipsum), tipe 2 (90% alumina dan 10% gipsum), tipe 3 (85% alumina dan 15% gipsum), dan tipe 4 (80% alumina dan 20% gipsum). Proses coating pada pohon lilin dilakukan hingga ketebalan 10 mm ( 5x pelapisan primer dengan ceramic slurry dan 3x pelapisan sekunder dengan pasir silika). Tahap ketiga adalah dewaxing pada temperatur 120ºC, kemudian sintering pada temperatur 25 - 340ºC dan 340 - 730ºC dengan masing-masing holding time 30 menit. Tahap keempat adalah pengecoran dengan temperatur 700°C. Hasil produk cor dilakukan pengukuran kekasaran permukaan dengan Surface Roughness Tester dan pengukuran porositas kuantitatif dilakukan dengan cara menghitung perbandingan volume porositas terhadap volume total spesimen. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa penambahan gipsum dalam ceramic slurry sebesar 5% dan 10% telah menghasilkan porositas mikro, sedangkan 15% dan 20% menghasilkan porositas mikro dan rongga udara pada produk cor. Selain itu, penambahan gipsum dalam ceramic slurry (5% hingga 20%) menghasilkan kekasaran permukaan dari 7,71μm meningkat hingga 11,36μm dan porositas produk cor dari 5,16% meningkat hingga 15,38%

Potency of Medicinal Plants for Eradication of Avian Influenza : in Vitro Test on Vero Cells

Some of medicinal plants indicate their potency as anti-viral such as Sambiloto (Andrographis paniculata Nees), Temu Ireng (Curcuma aeruginosa L.), Beluntas (Pluchea indica L.) Sirih Merah (Piper crocatum) and Adas (Foeniculum vulgare). Avian Influenza (AI) H5N1 strain viruses used in this study was isolated from field in Cikole area, West Java in July 20th 2007. To explore the potency of medicinal plants as anti-viral substance, the consecutive assays were performed by virus infection inhibition test in in vitro study using Vero cells. After the Vero cells were growing confluently, they were treated with sterilized-extract of medicinal plants either in single or combination. Furthermore, the culture cells were infected with AI H5N1 strain virus, then incubated at 37oC and examined for cytopathic effect (CPE) microscopically. The result showed that extract of Sambiloto and combination of Sambiloto and Temu Ireng were stronger than others in inhibition of virus attachment and infection to the cells. The Vero cells still alive up to 3rd day post infection with AI H5N1 virus after treatment with Sambiloto and Temu Ireng. In conclusion, extract of Sambiloto and Temu Ireng showed their potency as candidate for anti-viral substances that may needed for eradicating AI infection
