A technological scheme for obtaining an experimental foam aluminum material with a fixed arrangement of closed pores inside the casting is presented. As a blowing agent, polystyrene foam granules were used on the surface of which a copper galvanic coating was applied in several ways.

This paper chooses the remit foam aluminum by Shanghai co., LTD provides high pressure filtration method is used to make the opening of aluminum foam material. System research of relative density and strain rate changes on the relative density is high (> = 0.255) of aluminum foam materials shock stress - strain behavior, deformation failure mechanism and the influence law of energy absorption characteristics. These studies can not only expand the awareness of foam metal mechanical behavior, but also on the domestic industrial production of the performance of the foam aluminum material design, optimization and production preparation plays a guiding role.

The article focuses on analyzing plastic deformation and microstructure evolution mechanism of foam aluminum material when foam aluminum is compressed and stretched uniaxially at room temperature, and studying plastic deformation of foam aluminum at room temperature and high temperature. Results show that cold forming of foam material is restricted by many factors. So, it only carries out some simple integral forming and local plastic forming; High temperature reduces the yield stress and deformation limits of foam material, that the forming can be easily carried out. If parts of TiH2 foam aluminum are processed, the temperature must be below solidus temperature in order to avoiding destructing pore structure.

Polyurethane foams are widely used for insulation applications due to their high insulation properties as compared to conventional materials such as extruded polystyrene foam and mineral wool. In this study, soy-based polyurethane foams were prepared using five different surfactants while keeping other components such as soy-based polyol, diisocyanate, catalyst, and blowing agent (water) constant. Prepared samples were tested for mechanical and thermal properties to evaluate the effect of different surfactants used in varying quantities. The morphology of the foam samples was observed using a scanning electron microscope. Seventeen fold reduction in the cell size was observed with an increase in the amount of surfactant from 0.5 to 5.0 g. Samples with higher amounts of surfactant also exhibited a higher number of closed cells. Better thermal insulation was observed for samples with 2.0 and 5.0 g of surfactant as compared to samples with 0.5 g of surfactant. A similar trend was observed in the mechanical strength, moisture absorbance, and density of the fabricated foam samples.

Microcellular polystyrene foam sheets prepared by extrusion foaming with CO2 as the blowing agent were found to exhibit a significant anisotropy in mechanical behavior which could not be explained solely by the shape anisotropy of the cells and/or the preferential orientation of polystyrene molecules in the machine direction. Surprisingly, samples allowed to fully relax were still found to maintain part of their mechanical anisotropy, which was attributed to the weakness of the cell walls perpendicular to machine direction.
