Fabrication of Lotus-Type Porous Copper-Aluminum Alloy by Unidirectional Solidification in Hydrogen Atmosphere

Article Preview

Abstract:

Lotus-type porous Cu-5at.%Al alloy whose elongated pores are aligned in one direction was fabricated by unidirectional solidification in pressurized hydrogen gas atmosphere. The porosity of the Cu-Al alloy was higher than that of pure copper under the same fabrication conditions because of difference in hydrogen solubility. The pore structure was not round shape because the directional pore growth was interrupted with dendrite arms formed during the solidification; the pores grew to detour the obstacle of the dendrite arms.
