Problems solved by technology

The infiltration casting method is generally used to manufacture through-hole foamed aluminum; the powder metallurgy method is not suitable for the production of foamed aluminum used in general industrial fields due to high production costs
The melt foaming process is simple, but the existing melt direct foaming method has the following deficiencies: (1) the operation is difficult, as described in US.pat.3743353, use TiH 2 When preparing foamed aluminum as a foaming agent, the stirring and foaming time is required to be controlled at 1 to 2 minutes; (2) it can only be operated intermittently, as the method described in CN1320710A has improved foreign patents, so that the difficulty of foamed aluminum operation is greatly reduced, but this The method belongs to the gap operation; (3) when the control is improper, there is a solid body with a certain thickness at the bottom of the foam, and the distribution of the foam in the foam is uneven; (4) the cost of raw materials is high, and the foaming agent usually used is TiH 2 (5) It is only suitable for the preparation of some low-melting aluminum alloy foams; it is because of these deficiencies that the production cost of foamed aluminum remains high and limits the large-scale commercial application of foamed aluminum
In order to solve the defect of high production cost of gap-type aluminum foam, U.S. Patent US.pat6984356B2 describes a continuous preparation method of foam aluminum, but this patent cannot increase the viscosity of the melt online according to the required amount, and does not point out how to adjust the viscosity-increased melt. The amount of air bubbles in the body, and there is no clear equipment and operation process for the continuous casting of foamed aluminum

Embodiment 1

[0037] a. The system of the present invention consists of more than one melting furnace (1), foaming furnace (2) and one or more sets of casting devices (3). The smelting furnace (1) can be an induction furnace or a reverberatory furnace, and its function is to continuously supply qualified aluminum or aluminum alloy melt to the foaming furnace; the foaming furnace (2) is separated by a refractory partition (200). Into a viscosifying chamber (21) and a foaming chamber (22), the bottom of the dividing plate leaves a diversion hole (201) where the melt in the viscosifying chamber can flow to the foaming chamber; Discharging hole (220), so that when unexpected situation occurs, the material in the foaming furnace can be discharged in time.

[0038] b. The viscosity-increasing chamber (21) is equipped with a viscosity sensor (210) and a mixing agitator (211) capable of inhaling the viscosity-increasing agent under negative pressure. The viscosity of the melt in the tackifying cha...
