Compressive Properties of Porous Aluminum Alloy Fabricated by Joining Pipes and Melt through Continuous Casting

Abstract:

A porous aluminum alloy was fabricated by joining pure aluminum pipes and Al-13mass% Si melt through continuous casting. Compressive tests were carried out with test specimens of the porous aluminum alloy fabricated by this method, non-porous aluminum alloy fabricated by continuous casting using Al-Si melt, and porous aluminum alloy consisting of only Al-Si fabricated by drilling non-porous Al-Si bar. From the compressive tests, it was confirmed that specific proof strength of the porous aluminum alloy fabricated by joining pipes and melt can be described by rule of mixture of Al-Si base metal, pure aluminium pipes and pores.
