Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) merupakan pelapisan permukaan logam dengan plasma anodisasi untuk menghasilkan lapisan tahan karat dan keras. Sifat lapisan yang dihasilkan dikendalikan oleh parameter proses seperti arus dan waktu pembentukan. Proses PEO dilakukan dengan 2 variasi yaitu variasi waktu dan variasi arus dalam larutan 0,5 M Na3PO4. Pada variasi waktu, arus yang digunakan adalah 0,5 A dengan waktu 1, 3, dan 5 menit. Sedangkan pada variasi arus digunakan arus 0,2; 0,3; 0,4 A dan dilakukan pada waktu konstan selama 3 menit. Temperatur elektrolit dijaga tetap 30°C dan diaduk dengan magnetic stirrer dengan kecepatan konstan 300 rpm. Perubahan morfologi sebagai fungsi arus dan waktu diamati menggunakan scanning electron microscope dan energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). Analisis fasa dilakukan dengan X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Perubahan kekerasan diamati melalui uji kekerasan micro-Vickers. Perubahan sifat korosi diuji dengan metode electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) dan potentiodynamic polarization (PDP). Hasil karakterisasi menunjukkan fasa kristal yang terbentuk pada lapisan PEO adalah fasa Mg3(PO4)2 yang diidentifikasikan pada puncak 35°, 37°, 49° dan 62° pada pola XRD. Nilai kekerasan lapisan PEO yang terbentuk pada 1, 3 dan 5 menit masing-masing adalah 315,67; 427,67; dan 382,67 HV sedangkan pada arus 0,2; 0,3; dan 0,4 A diperoleh nilai kekerasan lapisan masing-masing sebesar 355; 421,67; dan 459 HV. Hasil uji polarisasi menunjukkan peningkatan ketahanan korosi yang ditunjukkan dengan berkurangnya rapat arus korosi. Semakin kecil rapat arus korosinya maka laju pembentukkan korosi semakin berkurang. Pada variasi waktu 1, 3 dan 5 menit nilai rapat arus korosinya adalah 3,24 x 10-5; 7,76 x 10-7; dan 1,11 x 10-6 A/cm2 sedangkan pada variasi arus 0,2; 0,3; dan 0,4 A nilai rapat arus korosinya adalah 2,26 x 10-6; 3,12 x 10-6; dan 7,60 x 10-7 A/cm2. Hasil EIS menunjukkan bahwa nilai R1 semakin besar yang artinya ketahanan resistansi polarisasi semakin besar dengan meningkatnya waktu dan arus pembentukan. Pada variasi waktu 1, 3 dan 5 menit nilai R1 adalah 42,35; 564,7; dan 574,4 Ω.cm2 sedangkan pada variasi arus 0,2; 0,3; dan 0,4 A nilai R1 adalah 254,5; 169; 627,5 Ω.cm2 setelah dicelupkan selama 3 jam.

Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) is a coating for metal surface by plasma anodization to produce corrosion resistant and hard coating. The resulting coating properties were controlled by process parameters such as formation current and time. The PEO process in this research uses 2 variation: time and current formation in 0,5 M Na3PO4 solution. At the time variation, the current used is 0,5 A with time of 1, 3 and 5 minutes. Whereas in the current variation used 0,2;0,3 and 0,4 A for 3 minutes. The electrolyte temperature was kept at 30 oC and stirred with a magnetic stirrer at 300 rpm. Morphological changes were investigated by using scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). Phase analysis was performed by X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Hardness changes were observed using micro-Vickers hardness test. Changes in corrosion properties were investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization (PDP). The phases formed in the PEO layer is Mg3(PO4)2 which identified at the peaks of 35°, 37°, 49° and 62° in the XRD pattern. Hardness of AZ31 alloys at 1, 3 and 5 minutes was 315,67 HV, 427,67 HV and 382,67 HV whilte at currents 0,2;0,3 and 0,4 A is 355 HV, 421,67 HV dan 459 HV. The polarization test results showed an increase in corrosion resistance which is approved by the reduced corrosion current density. The smaller the corrosion current, the rate of corrosion formation decreases. At the time variation of 1, 3 and 5 minutes the value of the corrosion current density is 3,24 x 10-5, 7,76 x 10-7, and 1,11 x 10-6 A/cm2 whereas in the variation of current 0,2; 0,3; and 0,4 A the corrosion current density is 2,26 x 10-6; 3,12 x 10-6; and 7,60 x 10-7 A/cm2. EIS results showed that the higher value of R1 means the greater the polarization resistance. At the time variation of 1, 3 and 5 minutes the value of R1 are 42.35. 564.7, 574.4 Ω.cm2 whereas in the current variation of 0,2;0,3 and 0,4 A the value of R1 are 254.5, 169, 627.5 Ω.cm2 after being immersed for 3 hours.

Phosphate Sludge (PS) waste has been a problem in metal surface finishing industry. The waste cannot be dumped in landfill due to the metal content. Valorisation of the waste will be beneficial in a way that it conserves natural reserves and reduces energy consumption. This paper describes the attempt of utilization of PS by mixing it in kaolin in preparation of ceramic bricks. A series of experiments showed that mixtures containing between 25–50 mass % PS sintered at 1200oC attained the highest compressive strength of >25 MPa. X-ray diffractions (XRD) showed that the presence of PS hindered the formation of mullite, the phase that contribute to strength in Al2O3–SiO2 kaolin system. In the mixture of 1:1 kaolin: PS fired at 1200oC, cristobalite was formed, instead of mullite, as observed in the XRD patterns.

This research was done to investigate influence of the base metal surface roughness on the BAg-8 spreading behavior and to get a proper surface roughness number for large area brazing. The filler metal was melted at 830o C for 15 minutes on a S50C surface for with various roughness levels. After solidified, the spreading area was observed and characterized in macro and micro scale. The results show that physically the filler spreading consists of two kinds of spreading forms: true and apparent filler spreading with composition of the both being almost same; 77% Ag and 23% Cu. For some roughness numbers, irregularities in uniformity of the heating and cooling process on the filler and dissolving of contaminant into the molten filler caused the true spreading that tend to separate became several parts and tend to flow out from initial placement. Increasing of the surface roughness tends to increase the capillarity effect and to decrease imbalance in the surface tension. Optimum surface roughness was obtained at Rz = 0.92. At this number, the ratio, as well as fitness of the true spreading with initial condition, was at the maximum. During the application process, this condition is predicted as being able to prevent or avoid weaknesses in the joint, thereby increasing the joint strength and its appearance quality.
