[0002] Foamed aluminum sound-absorbing material is a porous metal material made of aluminum or aluminum alloy as the base material through foaming. The core uses a three-dimensional network pore structure to convert sound energy into heat energy after sound waves are reflected and rubbed inside, thus achieving sound absorption and noise reduction. It is widely used in industrial, transportation, construction and other scenarios; at the same time, it also has the characteristics of being lightweight, high-strength, high-temperature resistant and corrosion resistant.
[0003] In existing technologies, the sound absorption mechanism is simple and lacks fine and multi-level control over the sound wave propagation path and energy conversion mode; when the functional components are simply combined, the interface bonding is weak and the synergistic effect is poor, making it difficult to achieve structural stability and functional integration; resulting in low absorption efficiency of materials for mid- and low-frequency sound waves, narrow effective sound absorption bandwidth, and difficulty in meeting the actual needs of wide bandwidth, especially low-frequency noise control.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. In this invention, the passivated neodymium iron alloy micro powder has excellent interfacial affinity with the Nd-O-Fe composite oxide layer on its surface, the aluminum foam matrix, and the polymer binder. After the micro powder is firmly fixed to the aluminum foam skeleton, it can effectively construct a uniformly distributed micron / submicron rough structure, significantly increasing the contact area and friction frequency between the sound wave and the solid surface, and directly enhancing the viscous dissipation of sound energy. The micro-rough interface provides a large number of anchoring points for the subsequent pore control agent, and works together with the binder to form a composite interface of rigid micro-protrusions and viscoelastic transition layers in the macro-pores, synergistically changing the propagation and reflection behavior of sound waves.
[0017] 2. In this invention, the modified acrylate copolymer introduces cationic groups that provide strong electrostatic adsorption, amide groups that form a dense hydrogen bond network, and long-chain alkyl groups that impart cohesive toughness. This structure enables it to achieve strong and uniform bonding between aluminum foam, alloy micropowder, and aluminosilicate through chemical and physical forces, ensuring the integrity of the composite structure. Furthermore, its own cross-linked network can generate significant viscoelastic deformation under the action of sound waves, converting a large amount of sound energy into heat energy for dissipation.
[0018] 3. In this invention, a multi-level porous aluminosilicate is formed using oil shale waste as raw material. Through a specific acid washing and aluminum salt modification process, a gradient pore structure rich in micropores and mesopores is formed. After introducing foamed aluminum pores, it can effectively control the pore size distribution inside the composite material, realizing a continuous transition from millimeter-level foam pores to nano-level mesopores. The gradient structure greatly extends the sound wave propagation path and improves the acoustic impedance matching of sound waves entering the material from the air medium, thereby reducing the interface reflection of incident sound energy, and in particular promoting the capture and absorption of long-wavelength low-frequency sound waves.

The test is based on GB / T 18696.1-2004. Mid-to-high frequency sound absorption coefficient (2000Hz) test: In the same frequency sweep measurement, the prepared sample is installed in front of the rigid back plate at the end of the impedance tube; when the test frequency is set to the target mid-to-high frequency point (such as 2000 Hz), a pure tone of that frequency is emitted by the sound source, forming a plane wave in the tube; the probe microphone is moved to detect and record the maximum and minimum sound pressure values at this specific frequency. By calculating the standing wave ratio and substituting it into the formula, the normal incident sound absorption coefficient at this mid-to-high frequency point is obtained.
