Joining of Aluminum Foam/Aluminum Metal by Spark Plasma Sintering Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

Aluminum foam is lightweight structures, energy absorption and thermal management. In this reason, there is a lot of attention on the aluminum foam as a structural material. The present papers showed various conventional joining techniques can be applied for foam-sheet structures, i.e., riveting, screwing, welding, gluing and soldering. This research presents new joining technique of Aluminum foam/Aluminum metal using spark plasma sintering (SPS) process. The Aluminum foam/Aluminum metals were fabricated by changing of various SPS holding temperature and holding time conditions. With increasing holding temperature and holding time, the tensile stress increased. The specimen sintered at 550°C for 20 min shows σts = 1.47 MPa. Also, it was found that the SPS holding time is dominant factor than the holding temperature for sound joining of two joint materials.
