Percolation of Primary Crystals in Cell Walls of Aluminum Alloy Foam via Semi-Solid Route

Herein, a uniform aluminum alloy foam was fabricated by the addition of TiH<sub>2</sub> as a blowing agent to Al-6.4 mass % Si in the semi-solid state and subsequent solidification. This was aimed at propounding the stabilization mechanism of the proposed foaming process. The microscopic...
