Abstract

The invention discloses foam aluminum with a three-dimensional (3D) space ordered pore structure and a preparation method thereof. The structure is formed by taking body centered cubic cells in space lattices as a base. The preparation method comprises the following concrete steps: heating aluminum alloy in vacuum atmosphere until the aluminum alloy is molten; uniformly mixing graphite particles with asphalt, a coupling agent and a curing agent to obtain 3D printed powder; sintering the powder by utilizing 3D printed laser to obtain a graphite framework with a 3D space network ordered structure, graphitizing the graphite framework, putting the graphitized graphite framework into a mold, and directly pouring the aluminum alloy liquid onto the graphite framework to obtain an aluminum and graphite composite material; and putting the aluminum and graphite composite material in the oxygen atmosphere to carry out oxidative combustion many times, and after each time of combustion, carrying out ultrasonic washing to obtain foam aluminum with a 3D space ordered pore structure. According to the invention, the pore diameter, the pore communication path and the apparent density of foam aluminum can be designed by controlling the graphite framework with the 3D space network ordered structure, so that prepared foam aluminum is more suitable for industrial demands.
