Fabrication and Characterization of Hybrid Composite Aluminum Foam for Structural Applications

Type: article
Abstract: The mechanical behaviour of an aluminium metal matrix composite foam structure under quasi-static uniaxialcompressive loading (compressive strength, energy absorption behaviour, stress-strain characteristic behaviour)has been studied in this work. The aluminium alloy Al 7075 is used in the foam structure, and it is reinforced withweight SiC (1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%), B4C (5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%) particles. Using a high-resolution optical zoommicroscope image, the microstructural surface morphology of the manufactured metallic foam samples was alsoexamined for the aforementioned composition. The analysis included pore size, porosity percentage, anddistribution, as well as cell wall thickness. For all characterisation investigations, wire EDM was used to cutsamples with dimensions of 3 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm from the As-cast ingot, which had a diameter of 5 cm and alength of 10 cm
