This results in losses for both the individual worker and the company. Therefore, the occupational hazard accident risk analysis was carried out using the HIRARC (Hazard Identification Risk Assessment and Risk Control) method. Data collection was conducted from the business owners of SSBC&nbsp;(Sanggar Sarana Baja Cakra)&nbsp;Welding and Turning Shop, located in Cakranegara, Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara. There are 3 work activities for&nbsp;risk identification, namely the clamping process, the engraving process and the drilling process. The results of the analysis show that the highest level of occupational risk occurs during clamping and engraving process. For drilling, it's in low level of risk. As for risk management, it is mainly done for high-risk level. Immediate improvement is needed by providing personal protective equipment (PPE) to workers to reduce these risks. Based on these results, business owners can do evaluation on his business so occupational accidents can be in the workplace.&nbsp;</em></p> Fikrihadi Kurnia Maharsa Pradityatama I Gusti Made Bagus Sri Gunartha I Gusti Ngurah Agung Natria Patraman I Putu Bayu Pramartha Copyright (c) 2023 Fikrihadi Kurnia, Maharsa Pradityatama, I Gusti Made Bagus Sri Gunartha, I Gusti Ngurah Agung Natria Patraman, I Putu Bayu Pramartha https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2023-11-30 2023-11-30 2 2 116 120 10.29303/empd.v2i2.2883 ANALISA PENGARUH KAMPUH PENGELASAN DAN PERLAKUAN PANAS TERHADAP SIFAT MEKANIK SAMBUNGAN LAS BAJA SUP9 https://journal.unram.ac.id/index.php/empd/article/view/2688 <p><em>The development of science and technology which is growing rapidly greatly affects industries that produce machine elements that use steel as the main raw material, steel is widely used in construction. This has caused many mechanics to join steel using the SMAW process without regard to the welding method and mechanical properties which causes the steel not to be connected perfectly, thereby endangering safety.</em> <em>The purpose of this study was to see the effect of seam variation V, K and X and normalizing, quenching and no heat treatment on the mechanical properties of welded joints in SUP9 steel. From the variation of seam and heat treatment, there were 9 combinations with 3 repetitions.</em> <em>The results of this study indicate that the weld seam and heat treatment affect the tensile strength and impact price of SUP9 steel. The most optimal treatment to produce high tensile strength is seam variation X with quenching heat treatment with ASTM E8 specimen shape having an average tensile stress value of 84.23 Kgf/mm<sup>2</sup>, and for the most optimal treatment to produce high impact values ​​is variation of seam X with normalizing heat treatment with specimen form ASTM E23 has an average impact value of 1.11 J/mm<sup>2</sup>.</em></p> I Made Mara Tri Rachmanto Syamsul Hadi Copyright (c) 2023 I Made Mara, Tri Rachmanto, Syamsul Hadi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2023-11-30 2023-11-30 2 2 121 128 10.29303/empd.v2i2.2688 PENGARUH VARIASI pH DAN RAGI TERHADAP VOLUME DAN KADAR BIOETANOL DARI BAHAN MOLASE https://journal.unram.ac.id/index.php/empd/article/view/2847 <p><em>Energy is a necessity in carrying out economic activities in Indonesia, both for consumption needs and production activities in various business sectors. As a natural resource, energy must be used optimally for the benefit of society and its management must be based on the principles of sustainable development. Bioethanol is a renewable and environmentally friendly energy that can be used as an alternative to fossil fuels. The use of bioethanol as fuel has several advantages, namely the high</em><em> oxygen </em><em>content of bioethanol (35%) so that it can produce clean fuel.</em> <em>The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of variations in pH and yeast on the volume and content of bioethanol from molasses material using and the drying time used was 48 hours.

This bamboo plant can grow around 1200 meters above sea level and lowlands with humidity conditions and broad soil types. This plant is often found growing wild around river banks, forests, or fields. This plant is used by the community to make matting, bamboo bridges, concrete reinforcement, and so on. Concrete is a mixture consisting of sand, gravel or crushed stone and other aggregates mixed together with a paste made from a mixture of cement and water to from a rock-like mass. Lightweight concrete is concrete with a weight of less than 1900 kg/m<sup>3</sup>. The value of compressive strength is smaller than ordinary concrete and is not good at conducting heat. The specific gravity of lightweight concrete varies greatly depending on the lightweight aggregate used. Sandwich components are a type of structural composite that has the potential to be developed. Sandwich composite is a composite composed of 3 layers consisting of a flat composite (<em>metal sheet</em>) as the surface skin (<em>skin</em>) and the core material (<em>core</em>) in the middle (<em>the part between</em>). Sandwich composite is a type of composite that is very suitable for resisting bending, impact, vibration and sound dampening. Sandwich composites are made to obtain a lightweight structure but have high stiffness and strength. Usually the selection of sandwich composites materials, the requirements are light weight, heat and corrosion resistance, and price is also considered.</p> <p>The purpose of this study is to utilize the addition of bamboo as a concrete reinforcement instead of steel, to create a very affordable cost and to find out how much influence the addition of bamboo pins has as a core reinforcement in sandwich composites on the compressive and bending strength of the lightweight concrete. The variation of the spacing of the bamboo pins used is 3 cm and 4 cm for the width, and 4 cm 6 cm for the length of each sandwich composite. The size the sandwich composites varies, while for compression testing it has a length of 15 cm, a width of 15 cm and a thickness of 7,5 cm. And for the bending test it has a length 40 cm, a width of 10 cm, and a thickness of 7,5 cm.</p> <p>The results showed that there was an increase in strength in the compressive test from those who did not use pins of 0,646 N/mm<sup>2</sup>, and those who used pins with a distance of 3 cm x 4 cm of 1,94 N/mm<sup>2</sup> and a distance of 4 cm x 6 cm of 1,596 N/mm<sup>2</sup>. Where the longer the distance between the bamboo pins, the strength decreases. For the bending test it also shows an increase from without pins having a value of 0,43 N/mm<sup>2</sup> to adding pins with a pin spacing of 3 cm x 4 cm having a value of 0,89 N/mm<sup>2</sup> and experiencing a decrease in pin spacing of 4 cm x 6 cm with a value of 0,25 N/mm<sup>2</sup>.</p> Agus Dwi Catur Pandri Pandiatmi Fikri Haikal Copyright (c) 2023 Agus Dwi Catur, Pandri Pandiatmi, Fikri Haikal https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2023-11-30 2023-11-30 2 2 138 144 10.29303/empd.v2i2.2127 PENGARUH PROSES PACK NITRIDING TERHADAP ANGKA KEKERASAN PERMUKAAN, KEULETAN DAN STRUKTUR MIKRO PADA BAJA SS 400 https://journal.unram.ac.id/index.php/empd/article/view/2277 <p>&nbsp;</p> <table width="616"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="383"> <p><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The pack nitriding process is a process of increasing the surface hardness of steel by using nitrogen with the help of organic compounds as a nitrogen source in the process.</em></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="383"> <p><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The processed steel is put into a vessel which is usually made of ceramic, glass or aluminum along with a compound used as a nitrogen source.</em></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="383"> <p><em>During heating,The organic compounds used in the analysis process are generally stable at temperatures up to 570 oC and removal times of 2 to 16 hours.
