Abstract
The paper deals with the physical-chemical effects of a blowing agent on production the cellular metal systems (in this case aluminium foams). Based on the isothermal concertation and pressure curves for the H-Ti system and by using the maximum gas volume obtained from equation of state, there was applied the blowing agent to 1 kg of AlSi12 aluminium alloy. Moreover, using relation to determine aluminium foam relative density (ρ REL) from alloy AlSi12, there was done prediction to determine density of 1 kg metal foam from AlSi12 alloy at different blowing agent contents from 0.1 up to 1.5 wt% of titanium hydride TiH 2. These isothermal calculations were compared with the density of aluminium foal from alloy AlSi12, which was produced by an industrial process. Basic mechanical properties were subsequently measured on the produced foam samples.
