Waste is one of the main problems in Indonesian industry. The utilization of metal waste isvery much needed by the metal smelting industry to melt and reshape to become goods thathave more selling value. There are many kinds of waste obtained from the metallurgicalmanufacturing industry, one of which is material evaporation boats. Refractory materialscommonly used for crucibles have not yet produced good refractories and the price is stillexpensive, so research on Evaporation Boats is needed for more utilization and advantages.This study aims to determine the effect of the extrusion time of evaporation boats, graphiteand castable cement on the density, porosity, and impact strength of crucible materials.Variations in extrusion time used in this study were 45 minutes, 90 minutes and 135minutes. The materials used are 70% evaporation boats by weight, 15% graphite, 15%castable cement, and mixed with 15% water of the total weight. The test results showedthe highest density value was 2.05 g/cm3 at an extrusion time of 135 minutes, and thelowest was 2.03 g/cm3 at an extrusion time of 45 minutes. The highest porosity value was5.5% at an extrusion time of 45 minutes, and the lowest was 2.4% at an extrusion time of135 minutes. The highest impact strength value was 0.005611579 J at an extrusion time of135 minutes, and the lowest was 0.005117523 J at an extrusion time of 45 minutes. Fromthe resulting data, it is known that 1.) there is an effect of extrusion time on the densityvalue. The longer the extrusion time, the higher the density value. 2.) There is an effect ofextrusion time on the porosity value. The faster the extrusion time, the higher the porosityvalue. 3.) There is an effect of extrusion time on the impact strength. The longer theextrusion time, the higher the impact.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
