Effect of Surface Modification on the Sound Absorption Behavior of Open Celled Aluminum Foams

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present study, needle like micro-Co3O4 rods were synthesized on the cell walls of open celled Al foam. The microstructure and phase composition of micro-rods and sound absorption properties of resultant samples were characterized. Compared with original Al foams, the modified ones showed enhanced sound absorption capacities, particularly at low frequencies, which were more obvious as the length of Co3O4 rods increased. The improvement is related to increased air flow resistance owing to increased roughness of the cell walls.
