Effect of accelerated carbonation on fine cement paste aggregates by Marión Bustamante, Viviana Letelier, Bruno Wenzel, Cristian Torres, Estefania Loyola, José Marcos Ortega

“…Accelerated carbonation is suggested as a potential alternative for carbon dioxide sequestration, which also improves the microstructure of recycled concrete aggregates. In this study, the carbonation parameters of model aggregates derived from cement pastes with two different water/cement ratios (i.e., 0.5 and 0.7) were evaluated in order to maximize the benefits of the carbonation process on their density and absorption. …”

Comparative analysis of bobbin tool and one-step double-acting tool in friction stir welding of aluminum AA1100 by Yudha Eko Widyantono, Yoshihiko Uematsu, Ilhamdi, Sulardjaka, Jos Istiyanto, Muizuddin Azka, Nurul Muhayat, Triyono

“…Results indicated that the bobbin tool produced rougher beads and tear defects due to its design, while the one-step double-acting tool, particularly at a 2 mm offset, yielded cleaner, more uniform welds with fewer defects and enhanced material control. Microstructural analysis showed that the stir zone exhibited uniform grain refinement, and the Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ) benefited from finer grain structures due to improved heat management. …”
