Technology in concrete is rapidly developing to improve the quality and properties of concrete. One of the many recycled materials is worn-out tyres. Currently, the use of tires is very widespread considering the use of vehicles that increase from time to time. Piles of discarded tires can cause a lot of damage to the environment. So, by using steel wire waste (SWW) as new fiber reinforcement in concrete and with the combination with carbon black (CB), it is hoped that, by doing this, not only it could improve the quality of concrete, but also preserves the environment. Therefore, the objective of this research was, to identify the properties of fresh concrete with the addition of SWW and CB, and also to investigate the physical and mechanical properties of hardened concrete, incorporating of SWW as additional fiber reinforcement and CB. For fresh concrete, workability using a slump test was conducted. Several tests were carried out on the properties of hardened concrete. Among them were compressive strength, flexural strength, splitting tensile strength, and water absorption. The physical appearance of the concrete has also been examined and recorded. There are four batches of concrete which consist of one control batch and three batches of concrete with various weights of SWW which are in the portion of 300 g, 600 g, and 900 g, and the weight of CB is maintained at 300 g for all batches. For workability, all concrete batches with the addition of SWW and CB show acceptable workability. For the case of the density of fresh concrete, samples containing 900 g addition of SWW have the highest density which was 2520 kg/m³, as expected. Results for water absorption show that the lowest value is contributed by the control sample which was 7.6%. For compressive and flexural strength, 300 g addition of SWW has the highest value which was 28.52 MPa for compressive strength and 7.52 MPa for flexural strength. Lastly, for splitting tensile strength, the highest value was also obtained when 300 g addition of SW was added which was 5.4 MPa. To conclude, SWW and CB can be added to concrete to obtain comparable strength of concrete. However, some modifications could be made to both recycle materials to improve concrete performance.

2024-03-07 , Khalid M. , Norshah Aizat Shuaib , Mohd Haidiezul Jamal Ab Hadi , Dolah M.S. , Mohamad Suhaimi Shahrin , Nik Mizamzul Mehat , Morsidi M.

The staircase effect describes the overall print surface roughness indicated through the layer by layer of Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM), also known as the Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) process. Due to the poor surface finish, post-processing can improve the aesthetic effect. The different post-processing procedures for FDM parts are classified as material removal and material addition. This paper reviews four types of material addition methods based on chemical coating post-processing techniques; gap filling, coating spray, plating, and water transfer printing of based on production time, cost and related environmental issues. From the review, spray coating generally is cost-effective and less hazardous to the environment. The paper presents a benchmark between the available material addition techniques as a post-processing step for the FDM printed parts.

Effect of cutting environment and swept angle selection in milling operation

2021-12-01 , Zailani Zainal Abidin , Rusli N.S.N. , Norshah Aizat Shuaib

Cutting fluids are frequently aimed to enhance machinability through cooling, lubricating and flushing actions. However, their use in machining creates major concerns in terms of health footprint and environmental effects throughout their lifecycle. Alternative methods, such as dry cutting and minimum quantity lubrication, were used to mitigate these issues. This research also will investigate the effect of swept angle selection, 30% and 60% of tool diameter step over under different cutting conditions during milling of aluminium alloy material. Their impact on tool wear, surface roughness, burr and chip formation were compared. Results pointed that the application of lower swept angle in conjunction with minimum quantity lubricant system has significantly reduced tool wear, decreased burr and chip formation, as well as improved surface quality as compared to dry machining. The work clearly shows how the importance of swept angle selection and cutting condition in refining machining performance could improve the machinability of the material.

Roles of new bio-based nanolubricants towards eco-friendly and improved machinability of Inconel 718 alloys

2020-04-01 , Ali M.A.M. , Azwan Iskandar Azmi , Muhamad Nasir Murad , Mohd Zahiruddin Md. Zain , Ahmad Nabil Mohd Khalil , Norshah Aizat Shuaib

The adverse effects of mineral oil-based metal cutting fluid on environmental sustainability have led to increased industrial concerns. Alternatively, biodegradable lubricants such as vegetable oil has a more positive impact with equivalent performance, but insufficient research on their benefits demands further exploration. This work features extensive experimental investigations on machining of Inconel 718 using novel formulations of coconut bio-based oil with enhanced nanoparticles and coco-amido-propyl-betaine. Bio-based with 0.8 wt% of Al2O3 managed to minimise the rapid growth of tool wear and prolong the tool life by 40.17%. Conversely, bio-based with 0.5 wt% of Al2O3 yielded lower values of cutting force (64.32 N), spindle power (2070 kW), specific cutting energy (6.55 W/mm3), and surface roughness (0.29 μm). The outstanding performance of bio-based nanolubricants contributed to superior machinability efficiency and eco-friendly machining environments.

Tribological Behaviour of Graphene Nanoparticles as an Additive in Vegetable Based Oil

2024-04-19 , Noor N.Z.M. , Zailani Zainal Abidin , Zain M.Z.M. , Norshah Aizat Shuaib

Friction between cutting tool and workpiece generates heat, which can shorten tool life and impair the quality of machined parts. Thus, the use of appropriate lubricants is required to mitigate these issues. In this research, the use of different weight concentration of graphene nanoparticles (0.1 %, 0.5 % and 1.0 %) to augment commercially available vegetable-based oil, LB3000 was investigated using tribological test. Their performances were evaluated in form of the coefficient of friction, wear scar diameter, kinematic viscosity and thermal conductivity. Higher concentration of graphene was found to be more effective in terms of lowering coefficients of friction, reducing wear scar diameter, and improving kinematic viscosity and thermal conductivity. This study clearly demonstrates that a suitable combination of graphene nanoparticles in oil can improve tribological behaviour as well as lubrication performance.

Surface treatment of recycled carbon fibre for interfacial enhancement in reinforced polypropylene product

2020 , A Salleh , Norshah Aizat Shuaib , N W Y Omar , Azwan Iskandar Azmi

Recycled carbon fibre (rCF) is used in various applications as measures to reduce the carbon fibre waste in landfill. This study focuses on using rCF in powder form in injection moulded polypropylene (PP) products. The rCF was treated with 0.5 mol/L and 1.0 mol/L nitric acid. The tensile and flexural properties were evaluated and morphological surface of the samples was characterised using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). As the result, higher concentration of nitric acid increased the tensile strength but leads to lower flexural strength. Apart from that, the environmental assessment using OpenLCA software shows that the addition of RCF filler loading leads to reduction of climate change and acidification potential.

2023-01-01 , Khalid M. , Norshah Aizat Shuaib , Mohd Haidiezul Jamal Ab Hadi

Sandblasting is a post-processing process that is required to improve the surface due to the layered nature of fused filament fabrication parts. This paper presents preliminary work based on full factorial design of experiment, considering pressure (100 kPa and 700 kPa), time (10 s and 120 s), distance (10 mm and 370 mm) and aluminium oxide abrasive which is 106 µm and 29.5 µm of particles size as the input factors. The effect of the parameters on the surface roughness (Sa) for flat and curve surface, material usage and energy consumption allow were analysed. The result shows that both Sa for flat and Sa curve surface were highly influenced by the abrasive particles size and time with the highest changes of Sa for flat and curve reaches up to 2.825 µm and 6.090 µm respectively. This study provides information on how sandblasting parameters should be selected in improving surface quality and resource usage.

2023-04-24 , Mohd Haidiezul Jamal Ab Hadi , Dollah M.S. , Hakim A. , Mohamad Suhaimi Shahrin , Norshah Aizat Shuaib

In recent years, many automakers starting to adopt 3D printing technologies in producing functional end parts. In line with the industrial revolution (IR4.0), this technology plays a significant role in improving the component's cost efficiency, especially in the low volume market. Nevertheless, these technologies facing several challenges such as surface quality and dimensional accuracy that hinder their progress. A feasibility study was conducted to investigate the influence of process parameters on the surface finish and dimensional accuracy when producing automotive component. The automotive front grille component has been chosen as a case study, and Full factorial design (FFF) optimisation approach was employed to the part fabricated by FDM 3D Printing technology to improve the surface finish dimensional accuracy of the parts. Based on the results, layer height and infill percentage are the most significant factors in the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the 3D printed part. Findings from this research show that process parameters optimisation improves dimensional accuracy, but post-processing is still required to enhance the part's surface finish.

Mechanical properties and environmental assessment of recycled carbon fibre reinforced polypropylene and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene products

2020 , A N Allawi , Norshah Aizat Shuaib , N W Y Omar , Azwan Iskandar Azmi

In this study, the main objective is to determine effect of recycled carbon fibre (RCF) on the mechanical properties of thermoplastics composites and associated environmental impacts. Such study is important to improve the strength of the composites as previous studies are limited on RCF composites, particularly in environmental aspects. In the compounding stage, extrusion process was carried out by using two different thermoplastics i.e. polypropylene (PP) and acrylonitrile butadience styrene (ABS) mixing with RCF. Particle size and weight loading of RCF were chosen as parameters to be studied. Bonding strength between the RCF and thermoplastics matrix was investigated through tensile and flexural properties. Lastly, the assessment of the products was carried out to determine the environmental impacts. Generally, the incorporation of RCF into PP and ABS plastic increases the tensile and flexural properties of the samples. It can be seen that the addition of rCF significantly improves tensile modulus and flexural strength up to 10 wt% filler loading. From the environmental impact assessment, the ABS products have greater impact in all categories. The usage of rCF reduce the amount of plastic hence leads to lower environmental impacts. The product has a potential to be used in mechanical demanding application particularly those require high flexural strength and tensile modulus properties.

Machinability of Nickel Titanium Shape Memory Alloys: A Review

2021-01-01 , Noor N.Z.M. , Zailani Zainal Abidin , Roshaliza Hamidon , Norshah Aizat Shuaib

Shape memory alloys of Nickel Titanium (NiTi) reveal a reversible diffusionless transition between phases, resulting in unique properties and applications. It is widely used in varieties of products; especially in aerospace and medical fields. Yet, these alloys known as hard-to-machine materials owing to their properties of unconventional stress-strain behaviour, high work strain hardening and high ductility. That’s why their machinability is a major issue. The common drawbacks are serious burr formation, rapid tool wear, poor surface quality and high cutting force. This paper puts forward any possibilities to enhance the machining performance through paper reviews from previous researchers. A notable finding is that the machinability issues can be reduced or lessened by changing the cutting parameters and cutting conditions in order to improve the machinability of NiTi alloys.
