Abstract
Abstract The aluminum composite foams with different densities were manufactured via direct foaming route of melt using different amount of CaCO3 foaming agent. The density of produced foams changed from 0.4 to 0.7 g/cm3. The bending and compressive behaviors of the composite foams were investigated utilizing Zwick Z250 universal testing machine. The experimental results show, the bending strength and compressive strength of Al/SiCp composite foams increase with increasing density. Furthermore, the plastic collapse strength and energy absorption ability of the closed cell aluminum foams are significantly improved by increasing density of the aluminum foams having the same SiCp volume fraction.
