Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Aluminum foam (Al foam) is expected to be used for vehicle components and construction materials owing to its light weight along with its good energy absorption and thermal insulation properties. Although Al foam has superior specific strength to general dense Al, improved strength is desired for its application in these industrial fields. In this study, we attempted to fabricate an Al foam having a substrate with a harmonic structure that exhibits high strength and ductile deformation by adding Cu and using a sintering and dissolution process.
