Abstract

A new friction powder compaction (FPC) process by the sintering and dissolution process (SDP) route for fabricating open-cell aluminum (Al) foam, which requires no external heat sources, was developed. Foams with porosities of 74 and 83 pct were successfully fabricated and their compressive responses were investigated. The sintered mixture during the removal process was observed nondestructively by X-ray computed tomography (CT) to reveal the progress of the removal of soluble particles and to confirm that they were completely dissolved.
