Press Forming of Aluminum Foam during Foaming of Precursor

Simulation of Foaming and Deformation for Composite Aluminum Foams

In this study, at the first stage, the rupture criterion of bubbles wall in Aluminum metal foam liquid was investigated by using Lattice Boltzmann. The two phases modeling were accomplished by using a modified Shan-Chen model. This model was run for several bubbles in A356+3wt.%SiC melt system. Then, bubbles morphologies (virtual metallographic) for A356+3wt.%SiC foams were simulated. Results s...

Guar Foaming Albumin – A Foam Stabilizer

Expansion Mechanism in Foaming Aluminum Melts

The expansion of molten aluminum foam was studied to determine flow mechanisms in the cellular melt. The structure of the foaming melt evolved through a series of deformation stages before the foam stabilized and solidified. Changes in cell geometry during foam expansion were observed at different positions within the mold cavity and analyzed to determine flow mechanisms. The deformation patter...

Influence of Different Foaming Conditions on the Mechanical, Physical, and Structural Properties of Polypropylene Foam

In this article, the effects of different foam production times and temperatures on the mechanical, physical, and structural properties of polypropylene (PP) foam has been investigated. The microcellular PP foams were carried out using supercritical carbon dioxide (sc-CO2) as a physical foaming agent in a batch process. The samples were placed in a pressure vessel and were saturated ...

the effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation

in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.
