浸渍法制备泡沫铝的显微组织和力学性能(英文)

利用聚合物泡沫采用压力浸渗铸造工艺制备开孔泡沫铝。所制备的泡沫铝能够很好地复制聚合物泡沫的几何尺寸。开孔泡沫铝的强度比闭孔泡沫铝的低很多,从而得到更多的应用。添加陶瓷颗粒可以改善泡沫铝的力学性能。本研究中,向 AC3A 铝合金中添加 SiC 颗粒得到复合材料泡沫。在复合材料泡沫中,SiC 颗粒嵌入在合金基体中及孔筋表面。高体积分数的陶瓷颗粒使合金泡沫铝的压缩强度、能量吸收、显微硬度增大。这些性能的改善归结为于泡沫铝的结构改变以及 SiC 颗粒存在于结点和孔筋处而引起的强度增加。     

Deformation stabilization of lattice structures via foam addition

Stochastic foams are soft but absorb energy efficiently under compressive loading; in contrast, periodic lattice structures are strong but generally exhibit poor energy-absorbing characteristics. Here we present and assess a hierarchical composite concept that aims to combine the desirable attributes of stochastic foams and lattice structures. The composite comprises a low-density polymer lattice structure with centimeter-scale voids and stochastic foam with pores in the sub-millimeter scale in the spaces between the lattice struts. The assessment is made on the basis of compressive response. We show that the post-yielding strength of the lattice can be doubled with the addition of even a weak (low-density) foam: the strength exceeds the combined contributions from the lattice structure and the foam alone. Addition of slightly denser foams can lead to an even larger strength increase. Using X-ray computed tomography, we show that the strength elevation is attributable to the stabilization of the strut members against buckling when surrounded by foam. Finite-element calculations of lattice structures alone and lattice/foam composites show similar characteristics. This composite concept may allow attainment of combinations of strength and energy absorption capacity that cannot be accessed by either foams or lattice structures alone.     

Manufacturing,compressive behaviour and elastic modulus of Ti matrix syntactic foam fabricated by powder metallurgy

Ti matrix syntactic foam has potential in the orthopaedic application because of its good biocompatibility, corrosion resistance and varied elastic modulus. Ti matrix syntactic foams embedded with thick-wall ceramic microspheres (CMs) were prepared using a powder metallurgy method. The structure, compressive behaviour and elastic modulus of Ti matrix syntactic foam embedded with thick-wall CMs were analyzed and compared with those embedded with thin-wall CMs. Results show that the compressive strength of Ti matrix syntactic foam increases with the increase of the volume fraction of CMs clearly. However, the strength increase would not increase the elastic moduli obviously which are still similar with those of human bone.

Fabrication and compressive behavior of open-cell aluminum foams via infiltration casting using spherical CaCl2 space-holders

The infiltration casting fabrication process based on spherical CaCl₂ space-holders and the compressive behavior including the mechanical performance and energy absorption capacity of open-cell aluminum foams were investigated.Open-cell aluminum foams with different porosities in the range of 63.1%to 87.3%can be fabricated by adjusting compression ratios of CaCl₂ preforms prepared by precision hot-pressing.The compression tests show that a strain-hardening phenomenon always occurs especially for open-cell aluminum foam with low porosity,resulting in the inclining stress-strain curve in the plateau region.The energy absorption capacity of open-cell aluminum foam decreases with increasing porosity when compared at the same strain.However,when compared at a given stress,each foam can absorb the maximal energy among the five foams in a special stress range.Additionally,open-cell aluminum foam possesses the maximum energy absorption efficiency at its optimum operating stress.At this stress condition,the foam can absorb the highest energy compared with other foams at the same stress point.The optimum operating stress and the corresponding maximal energy absorption decrease with increasing the porosity.The optimum operating stress for energy absorption can also be determined similarly when taking into consideration of the lightweight extent of foams.     

A novel technique for making open-cell AI203-ZrO2 ceramic foam with plant seed template

The aim of the present research is to provide a technique for preparing open-cell AI203-ZrO2 ceramic foams with uniform cell size. This technique used plant seeds to array templates and centrifugal slip casting to obtain cell struts with high packing density. Aqueous Al2O3-ZrO2 slurries with up to 50 vol.% solid contents were prepared and the rheological characteristic of the slurries was investigated. Consolidation was performed at an acceleration of 2,860 g for 60 rain. The effect of the characteristic of plant seeds on the drying behavior of Al2O3- ZrO2 green compact was analyzed. The effects of the solid contents of slurries on segregation phenomena ofAl2O3 and ZrO2 particles and green compact uniformity were investigated. The compressive stress-strain curve and deformation behavior of Al2O3-ZrO2 ceramic foams prepared using plant seed template were analyzed. The results showed segregation phenomenon is negligible for highly stable slurry with 50 vol.% solid loading. The prepared cell struts of Al2O3-ZrO2 foams have high green density (61.9% TD), sintered density (99.1% TD) and homogeneous microstructure. When sintered at 1,550 ℃ for 2 h, the cell size of Al2O3-ZrO2 foam is approximately uniform and the diameter is about 1.1 mm. The porosity and compressive strength of sintered products is 66.2% and 5.86 MPa, respectively.

Mechanical behaviors and energy absorption properties of Y/Cr and Ce/Cr coated open-cell nickel-based alloy foams

In this study,Y-and Ce-modified Cr coatings applied by pack cementation method were prepared on the surface of open-cell nickel-based alloy foam.The morphologies and microstructures of Y-and Ce-modified Cr coatings with various Y and Ce contents were investigated in detail.Then,the effects of Y and Ce addition on the mechanical properties of open-cell nickel-based alloy foams were analyzed and compared.Simultaneously,the energy absorption capacity and energy absorption efficiency of the Y-and Ce-modified Cr coated alloy foams were discussed and compared at the room and high temperatures.The results show that Cr coatings containing minor amounts of rare earth element(Y and Ce) are well adhered to the nickel-based foam struts.Especially,the microstructure of the 2 wt% Ce-modified Cr coating is denser and uniform.In addition,the compressive strength and plateau stress of Y-and Ce-modified Cr coated alloy foams firstly increase and then decrease by increasing the Y and Ce contents at room and high temperatures.The energy absorption capacity of Y/Cr and Ce/Cr coated alloy foams increases linearly with the strains increasing.The Ce/Cr coated alloy foams can absorb more energy than Y/Cr coated alloy foams in the plateau and densification regions at room temperature.Compared to those at room temperature,the Y-and Ce-modified Cr coated alloy foams show higher energy absorption efficiency when deformation within 10%-30% at high temperature.

Preparation and characterization of SiCp/2024Al composite foams by powder metallurgy

SiC_p/2024Al composite foams were manufactured by powder metallurgical methods using foaming agent CaCO₃ in order to enrich the foam fabrication process and promote its development and extensive application. The effects of CaCO₃ and SiC volume fractions on the foaming behaviours were investigated by means of SEM and Magiscan-2A image analysis technique. The influence of SiC content on the compressive behaviour was analyzed using Gleeble 1500 thermal simulation testing machine. The experimental results show that with increasing the foaming agent, the porosity and pore dimension increase first and decrease later. With increasing the reinforcement content, the porosity and pore dimension decrease. The compressive curves reveal that the introduction of SiC particles can improve compressive yield strength and energy absorption capacity. Meanwhile, it is found that SiC_p/2024Al composite foams are the brittle foam materials.     

Compressive characteristics of closed-cell aluminum foams with different percentages of Er element

In the present study, closed-cell aluminum foams with different percentages of erbium(Er) element were successfully prepared. The distribution and existence form of erbium(Er) element and its effect on the compressive properties of the foams were investigated. Results show that Er uniformly distributes in the cell walls in the forms of Al3 Er intermetallic compound and Al-Er solid solutions. Compared with commercially pure aluminum foam, Er-containing foams possess higher micro-hardness, compressive strength and energy absorption capacity due to solid solution strengthening and second phase strengthening effects. Additionally, the amount of Er element should be controlled in the range of 0.10 wt.%-0.50 wt.% in order to obtain a good combination of compressive strength and energy absorption properties.     

Acoustic emissions analysis of damage in amorphous and crystalline metal foams

Acoustic emission methods are used to investigate the nature and evolution of microfracture damage during uniaxial compression of ductile amorphous and brittle crystalline metal foams made from a commercial Zr-based bulk metallic glass, and to compare this behavior against that of aluminum-based foam of similar structure. For the amorphous foam, acoustic activity reveals evolution of the damage process from diffuse to localized damage through the foam stress plateau region, and reversion back towards diffuse damage in the foam densification region. Accommodation of microfracture by surrounding ductile struts, and significant point contact formation, permit high average compressive strains of ca. 80% in the amorphous foam without macroscopic failure.     

Multi-axial yield behaviour of polymer foams

The yield behaviour of two densities of a ductile PVC foam manufactured by Divinycell have been investigated for a range of axisymmetric compressive and tensile stress states. The yield surface is found to be described adequately by the inner envelope of a quadratic function of mean stress and effective stress and a maximum compressive principal stress criterion. Under tensile loadings the deformation of these foams is governed by cell wall bending, and the uniaxial and hydrostatic tensile strengths have comparable magnitudes. Under compressive loadings the foams deform by elastic buckling of the cell walls, and the uniaxial and hydrostatic compressive strengths are again nearly equal.

Performance of stainless steel foams produced by infiltration casting techniques

Ferritic (AISI 430) and austenitic (AISI 304) stainless steel foams were produced exploiting a process based on molten metal infiltration on ceramic model. In particular, SiC foundry filter was used as space holder and, after the solidification, it has been removed by hydrofluoric acid. The produced foams are featured by three different porosity grades (10, 20 and 30 PPI) and by constant relative density (0.60). The morphology, the mechanical properties and the corrosion resistance were studied and the results were correlated to the material, the porosity, the size and the distribution of the voids. Morphologically, the structure is arboreous open-cell foam featured by interconnected cavities. This aspect, combined with the high relative density, assures high compressive plateau stress, structural integrity and good deformability. The corrosive tests, according to the ASTM A262-Met.B and NACE TM-0284, permitted to identify possible application fields for these products.
