Effect of Primary Crystals on Pore Morphology during Semi-Solid Foaming of A2024 Alloys

Effect of Primary Crystals on Pore Morphology during Semi-Solid Foaming of A2024 Alloys

We investigated pore formation in aluminum foams by controlling primary crystal morphology using three master alloys. The first one was a direct chill cast A2024 (Al-Cu-Mg) alloy (DC-cast alloy). The others were A2024 alloys prepared to possess fine spherical primary crystals. The second alloy was m...
