Expansion Mechanism in Foaming Aluminum Melts
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 patterns and cell shapes during foam expansion were observed macroscopically and microscopically from metallographic sections. Simple mechanical models described the salient features and mechanisms of the expansion process.

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...

Metal porous foams have been eliciting much interest in recent years due to their high capacity of energy absorption. The characteristics of the pores in these materials play an important role on their energy absorption capability and other properties. This study reports the fabrication of aluminum closed-cell foams by accumulative roll-bonding (ARB) technique using calcium carbonate (CaCO3) as...
متن کاملSolid-state foaming of Ti–6Al–4V by creep or superplastic expansion of argon-filled pores
Ti–6Al–4V foams are produced by the expansion of pressurized argon pores trapped in billets created by powder metallurgy. Pore expansion during thermal cycling (840–1030 C, which induces transformation superplasticity in Ti–6Al–4V) improves both the foaming rate (by reducing the flow stress) and the final porosity (by delaying fracture of the pores and subsequent escape of the gas), as compared...
