摘要
Foaming of aluminium is investigated under oxidizing and non-oxidizing gas atmospheres. Foams were prepared by mixing and pressing A199.95 and TiH2 powders and foaming the pressed material in a gas-tight X-ray transparent furnace while following the process by X-ray radioscopy. The structure and distribution of the oxides present in the powders, precursors and foams were studied by light microscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Sequential focused ion beam slicing was used to obtain tomographic images of oxides and micropore distributions within the individual cell walls of the foams. A complex hierarchical structure of the oxides is found. Oxides reside in the bulk of the cell walls without a pronounced segregation to the gas/metal interfaces. The presence of air retards foaming due to oxidation of the outer surface. (C) 2008 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
