        Lightweight aluminum foams have a wide range of industries application as good energy and acoustic absorbers. The current state of the art with regards to the production of metallic foams is reviewed, with direct foaming of Al melt processing and a CaCO3 foaming agent used to generating lower material cost, a relatively low level of impurity presence, more uniform and finer cell structures to produce semi-industrial aluminum panel foams and consequently structure properties investigated. Calcium carbonate is found to be a highly effective foaming agent for aluminium and silicon carbide used to stabilise foam structure added to the aluminum molten so led to defects elimination, which result significant reduction in the thickness of melt drainage to achieve more uniform foams. Structure properties investigated at various thicknesses and cell sizes indicated that by enhancing the thicknesses and decreasing cell sizes caused improvement of Al-foam panels. Optical microstructure(OM) and cells distribution quality of samples measured and the cell size (Dm) calculated with image analyzer by microstructural image processing (MIP) software furthermore, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of SiC particles to evaluate two parameters of melt drainage and foam expansion as criterions the notable fall in large cavities subsequent uniform cellular which result in desirable distribution of SiC particles on interior surface of cells. Furetheremore, Compressive deformation foams has been studied. پرونده مقاله

        In this paper, 5056 aluminum alloy foams with different percentages of calcium carbonate as foaming agents have been produced, and the physical and mechanical properties of the foams have been studied. Quasi-static compression tests have been carried out to determine the mechanical properties of foamed material. The effects of the amount of calcium carbonate on the size of the pores, the minimum thickness of the walls, density, compressive strength and energy absorption capacity of foams have been investigated. The uniform structure of the pores has been observed in foam specimens with 1.5, 1.8 and 2.1 wt% CaCO3. Increasing the amount of CaCO3 foaming agent from 1.5% to 2.1% has increased the average size of the pores by more than 180% and reduced the thickness of cell walls by 90%. So, the density and the relative density of the aluminum foams have been reduced by 28.6%. The results also show that increasing the amount of CaCO3 foaming agent decreases compressive strength, the absorbed energy and the elastic modulus of 5056 aluminum foams. By increasing the amount of foaming agent from 1.5% to 2.1%, the elastic modulus has reduced by about 16%, and a decrease of 21% has been seen in the energy absorbed by the foam at the strain of 0.4. پرونده مقاله
