The invention provides a method and a device for preparing porous foam
metal through super-gravity seepage and belongs to the field of foam
metal material preparation. In the invention, soluble salt particles of which the average particle size is 0.1-5mm are used as a precursor, and
metal is used as a seepage body. A centrifugal
casting mold is filled with the soluble salt particles which are dried and sieved, and a porous plate is fixed at the top of the precursor. The centrifugal
casting mold which is preheated is assembled on a centrifugal platform, centrifugal equipment is started, and
molten metal which is pre-molten is poured into a feeding hopper of the centrifugal equipment. The
molten metal being driven by super-gravity seeps into gaps of the precursor via the porous plate, and the super-
gravity coefficient of the process is controlled above 20-180 from the big to the small according to the average particle size of the soluble salt particles, namely the precursor. After the metal is solidified, the centrifugal
casting mold is disassembled, a compound body is taken out, and
cutting processing is carried out. The soluble salt particles are dissolved by using water and removed from the compound body, and the porous foam metal is obtained. The method is simple in technology and low in cost, and the prepared foam aluminum
alloy is even in structure, proper in size and excellent in mechanical properties.
