The progress in Aluminum Foam Research in China

摘要

The aluminum foam materials have studied for the last 15 years in China, from laboratory experiments to industrialized scale. we can manufacture 800mm×2000mm aluminum foam board products. The essential parameters of our aluminum foam product are as follows, density: 0.3~0.6g/cm3; porosity: 77%~88%; pore diameter < 5mm; plastic collapse strength >5MPa. Some properties of aluminium foam materials were studied such as sound absorption, energy absorption, impact bending strength of aluminum (steel) plate/Al foam sandwich, etc.
