Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, titanium hydride is mostly used as a foaming agent when preparing foamed aluminum by melt foaming method, but titanium hydride is relatively expensive, and titanium hydride decomposes quickly at high temperature, bubbles form rapidly, and it is easy to float, break or merge, and the formed pores are thick
Therefore, in order to allow the gas to remain in the melt stably, ceramic particles are often added to the melt to increase the viscosity. time

Abstract

The invention discloses a technology for preparing small-aperture aluminum foam without a viscous melt foaming method and belongs to the field of preparation of a porous metal material. The technology comprises the following steps: by taking calcium carbonate as a foaming agent, adding a pure magnesium block to melt, foaming the melt by a gas formed by reaction of Mg, Al and CaCO3. The viscosity of the melt can be improved by the oxide generated by reaction. The outgassing reaction is slow and stable, so that the problem of a thick aluminum foam structure is solved by the technology in comparison with titanium hydride as a foaming agent. The technology comprises the following concrete steps: adding the pure magnesium block to the aluminum melt; adding calcium carbonate after evenly agitating; agitating and foaming, carrying out water-cooling after keeping warm for a period of time, so as to obtain an aluminum foam sample of which the porosity is 50.0-85.0% and the mean pore size is about 1.0-2.0mm. The production technology is simplified, the production cost is reduced, and the technology is applicable to large-scale production under the condition of not needing tackifying.

Description

[0001] technical field [0002] The invention belongs to the field of preparation of porous metal materials, and in particular relates to a method for preparing foamed aluminum with small pore diameter without a viscosifying melt foaming method. Background technique [0003] Since Sosnik of the United States first added mercury to aluminum to prepare foamed aluminum in 1948, foamed aluminum has good damping performance, energy absorption performance, sound absorption, sound insulation and heat insulation performance due to its low density, high specific strength and specific stiffness. It has excellent functional compatibility and has always attracted relevant researchers from various countries to explore its preparation, performance and application. It is one of the most widely used metal foams so far. There are many methods for preparing aluminum foam, among which the melt foaming method has become the first choice for large-scale production because of its simple equipment...
