Device and method for preparing foamed aluminum based on electromagnetic stirring under the action of composite magnetic field

Abstract

The device and method for preparing aluminum foam based on electromagnetic stirring under the action of a composite magnetic field belongs to the technical field of porous metal foam materials. The device includes: a reactor shell, a mold, an electromagnetic stirring device, a temperature control device, an induction coil, a filling material, a valve, Vent and feed piping. The method includes: proportioning, heating, feeding thickener and foaming agent, electrified stirring and foaming reaction. The invention proposes a device and method for preparing foamed aluminum based on electromagnetic stirring under the action of a composite magnetic field. The invention uses an induction coil to generate an alternating magnetic field, and the alternating magnetic field interacts with the induced current in the foamed aluminum to generate a direction perpendicular to the mold wall surface. The electromagnetic pressure in the center of the foamed aluminum melt reduces the contact pressure and sliding friction between the foamed aluminum and the mold wall, reduces the non-slip phenomenon, and makes them reach a soft contact state, so that the foamed aluminum melt flows smoothly. Therefore, the effect of electromagnetic stirring in the preparation process of foamed aluminum is improved.
