The processing methods and mechanical and physico-chemical properties of cellular metals or foamed metals, including Al, nickel, copper, magnesium, steel and production have been widely studied for more than 30 years (Gibson 2000). The production methodologies of cellular metallic materials are classified based on the starting metal as liquid metal, powdered metal, metal vapour or gaseous compounds and metal ion solution (Banhart 2001, Wood 1997) (Figure 2.3). Closed Al foams are however currently manufactured based on liquid metal and powder metal, which will be elaborated in the next <strong>section</strong>. Figure 2. 3. The production methods of cellular metallic structures. (Source :Wood 1997) 2.1.1. Foaming Melts by Gas Injection (Alcan/Cymat or Hydro Process) Gas injection into molten metal process was developed coincidently and independently by Cymat/Alcan(Wood 1997) and Norsk Hydro(Asholt 1999). During foaming process, a gas is continuously injected by the help of a rotating shaft in liquid metal (Figure 2.4), (Ashby, et al. 2000). Including air, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and argon can be used as the injecting gas. Because of quick bursting of gas bubbles in the liquid metal, pure liquid metal cannot be easily foamed and therefore small insoluble or dissolving particles such as aluminum oxide or silicon carbide are added into liquid metal in order to stabilize the gas bubbles and increase the viscosity of liquid metal. The 8
stabilized gas bubbles rise to the surface of the liquid where the liquid foam is collected and then subsequently solidified. Particle size and volume fraction have very important in the stabilization of foam structure. High particle volume fractions lead to high liquid metal viscosity, leading to very low foaming in liquid metal, Figure 2.5 (Prakash, et al. 1997). While very large particles settle in the liquid, hindering the foam stabilization. Generally, the preferred volume fraction of the reinforcing particles typically ranges from 10 to 20%, and the mean particle size from 5 to 20 μm for an efficient foaming (Banhart 2007). The other parameters effective in this foaming process are the gas flow rate and pressure, orifice geometry of injection system and orifice immersion depth (Deqing and Chengxin 2008). Figure 2. 4. Foaming melts by gas injection. (Source :Ashby, et al. 2000) 9
