Sound insulation property of Al-Si closed-cell aluminum foam bare board material

Al-Si closed-cell aluminum foam bare boards of 1 240 mm×1 100 mm with different densities and thicknesses wereprepared by molten body transitional foaming process.The sound reduction index(R)of Al-Si closed-cell aluminum foam bareboards was investigated experimentally under different frequencies(100-4 000 Hz).It is found that sound reduction index(R)issmall under low frequencies,large under high frequencies and is controlled by different mechanisms.The sound insulation propertybasically conforms with the monolayer board sound insulation theory.The sound reduction index(R)increases with the even growthof thickness and density,but its rising trend is tempered.The single number sound reduction indexes(RW)of specimen with thicknessof 20 cm and density of 0.51 g/cm3are 30.8 dB and 33 dB respectively,which demonstrates good sound insulation property forlightmass materials.     

Sound absorption and insulation property of closed-cell aluminum foam

The closed-cell aluminum foams （specimen p=0.31 g/cm^3, diameter of 100 nun, and thickness of 20 mm for sound absorption testing; specimen p=0.51 g/cm^3, length of 1 240 mm, width of 1 100 mm, and thickness of 30 mm for sound insulation testing） were prepared by the method of molten body transitional foaming process. Its sound absorption property under frequency of 160-2 000Hz and the sound insulation property under frequency of 100-4 000 Hz were tested. The sound absorption results show that the sound absorption property is much better under middle frequencies than that under low and high frequencies. The sound absorption coefficient climbs when frequency increases from 160 Hz to 800 Hz and then drops when frequency is increased from 800 Hz to 2 000 Hz. The function of the sound absorption mainly depends on the Helmholtz resonator, the microphone as well as cracks of closed-cell aluminum foam. The sound insulation experiments show that the sound reduction index （R） is small under low frequencies, and large under high frequencies; the weighted sound reduction index （Rw） and the highest sound reduction index （R） can reach around 30.8 dB and 43 dB, respectively.

Effect of TiH2 on preparation of closed-cell aluminum foam and its compressive behavior

The vesicant problem during the process of preparing closed-cell aluminum foam by molten body transitional foaming process was discussed and the effect of granularity and addition of TiH2 on porosity of closed-cell aluminum foam was investigated. The static compressive behavior of closed-cell aluminum foam and the influence of porosity on static compressive property of closed-cell aluminum foam were researched as well. The results show that with increasing granularity of TiH2, the porosity of closed-cell aluminum foam firstly increases and then decreases gradually, the granularity should be controlled in the range of 38-74μm which can result in higher porosity. The porosity of closed-cell aluminum foam increases with the increasing addition of TiH2, and the addition of TiH2 should be controlled fi＇om 1.5% to 2.5% which can result in homogeneous cell and moderate strength of closed-cell aluminum foam. The compressive process of closed-cell aluminum foam obviously displays linear elastic phase, plastic collapse phase, and densification phase, and the compressive strength grows with decreasing porosity.

Mechanical property extraction through conical indentation of a closed-cell aluminum foam

Deformation and energy absorption characteristics of a closed-cell aluminum foam, ALPORAS, during deep indentation were experimentally investigated by employing frustum of cone shaped indenters with varying cone angles and are compared with those observed in uniaxial compression with an objective of estimating mechanical properties such as shear strength from the indentation experiments. Morphological examination of the indents obtained when the cone angle is 0° (a flat-ended cylindrical punch) reveals crushing of the cells beneath the indenter and tearing of the cells at the periphery. No lateral spread in plastic deformation is observed. When the cone angle is greater than 0°, shearing of the foam at the periphery takes place in addition to tearing, and the shearing increases with the cone angle. An analytical model that incorporates all the three modes of deformation, crushing, tearing, and shearing, is used to describe the force–displacement and energy absorption data as a function of the cone angle. In turn, it was demonstrated that material properties such as the tear energy and shear strength could be extracted from the conical indentation data.     

Sound absorption property of open-pore aluminum foams

The sound absorption property of aluminum foam was studied by testing its sound absorption coefficients using standing wave tube method. The open-pore aluminum foams were prepared by infiltration process, with pore size of 0.5 mm to 3.2 mm and porosity of 54.2% to 77%. The frequency of indicted sound wave was ranging from 125 Hz to 10 kHz. The results show that the average values of sound absorption coefficients are all over 0.4 and the aluminum foam has better sound absorption property, its coefficients is influenced by frequency and pore structure, and reaches the maximum at about 1 kHz, with increasing porosity and decreasing cell diameter the sound absorption coefficient values increase.

This paper presents a study on sound absorption property of aluminum foam by evaluating its sound absorption coefficients using standing wave tube method. Experimental results showed that the average values of sound absorption coefficients (over the test frequency range) are all above 0.4, which indicate very good sound absorption property of the aluminum foams. The sound absorption coefficient is affected by frequency and pore structure, and reaches its maximum value at around 1 000 Hz. With the increase of porosity and decrease of cell diameter, the sound absorption coefficient values increase.

Creep behavior of a closed-cell aluminum foam

The results of creep tests on a closed-cell aluminum foam (Alporas) are reported. At low stresses and temperatures, the behavior is well described by existing models for foams. At high stresses and temperatures, the power law creep exponent increases from about 4 to 15 and the activation energy increases from about 100 to 450 kJ/mol. The increase in power law exponent may be related to damage; a finite element damage model of a two-dimensional honeycomb gives consistent results with the measured foam behavior.     

LD10铝合金锻件拉伸性能分析

通过室温拉伸试验、拉伸断口形貌观察、能谱成分分析、显微组织观察及化学成分检测,对LD10铝合金锻件横向塑性偏低及不均匀的原因进行分析。结果表明,热处理工艺改变后锻件的横向塑性性能并没有得到明显改善。密集分布的大块状脆性相是锻件横向塑性偏低的主要原因。脆性相的尺寸大小和分布主要受锻造变形程度和变形均匀性的影响。应改进工艺使锻件均匀变形,以提高锻件的横向塑性性能。
