摘要
Replacement of TiH(2) as foaming agent by CaCO(3) (lime) and CaMg(CO(3))(2) (dolomite) for AlMg4.5- and AlSi9Cu3-foams was investigated considering influences on foaming capability and cellular structure. Precursor materials were produced from alloy chip and powder mixtures by means of the thixocasting process. AlSi9Cu3 variants showed expansion levels sufficient for commercial use. Variations in expansion observed when CaCO(3) and CaMg(CO(3))(2) were compared as foaming agent are explained based on the course of decomposition. Improved performance of dolomite-based foams relies on formation of stabilizing MgO phases, which do not develop during decomposition of CaCO(3) in Al-Si-Cu alloys
