In-Situ Oxide Stabilization Development of Aluminum Foams in Powder Metallurgical Route

The development of stabilizing oxides during foaming process has been studied. The investigation of microstructure shows that the surface oxide films on the aluminum powder particles were ruptured after compaction. Pore nucleation results in a comprehensive shearing of oxides. After complete melting...
