Energy Absorption of Superplastic Zn-22Al Alloy Foam Manufactured through Melt Foaming Process

Abstract:

Closed-cell superplastic Zn-22Al alloy foams were manufactured through the melt foaming process using sodium hydrogen carbonate powder as a foaming agent. Foaming tests were carried out under different foaming temperatures, times and additive amounts of foaming agent. The porosity of Zn-22Al alloy foams were between 30 and 70%. The cell wall consisted of fine equiaxial crystal grains after solution treatment. The compressive properties of the Zn-22Al alloy foams were investigated at room temperature and high temperature. Zn-22Al alloy foams exhibited high strain rate sensitivity, which was caused by superplastic deformation of the cell wall material.
