Problems solved by technology

Although the existing process is simple, it also has the following deficiencies: (1) the consistency of the obtained product performance is difficult to effectively guarantee
This is because there are multiple pouring operations in the process, and once the temperature, time and other parameters in the process are controlled differently, it will inevitably lead to differences in the properties of the foamed aluminum products.
(2) It is difficult to operate precisely
TiH as described in US.pat.3743353 2 When used as a foaming agent to prepare aluminum foam, the stirring and foaming time is required to be controlled within 1-2 minutes, but the viscosity of the melt added with the tackifier and foaming agent is relatively high, resulting in poor fluidity, and it is prone to pouring difficulties during the pouring process, etc. Problems arise, which eventually lead to performance differences between batches
(3) It can only be operated intermittently, as the method described in CN1320710A has improved foreign patents, so that the difficulty of foamed
