A type of porous material was prepared mainly using iron tailings and shale, adding foaming agent, fusing agent and flexibility agent. To determine the sintering system of porous materials basing on iron tailing and shale, the effect of sintering temperature on the microstructure of the samples was investigated by XRD and SEM as well as section topography. The results indicate that both the porosity and pore size of the samples become higher and bigger respectively as sintering temperature increases from 1100°C to 1130°C, while mineral phase anorthite decreases; when sintered at 1120°C, the size of pores is approximately the same with the mean pore size of 1.5mm; the pores are larger and some get connected to the adjacent pores when the sintering temperature increases to 1130°C.

agents. The glass abrasive sludges were mixed with expanding agents and compacted into pellets. These pellets were sintered in the range of 700-900oC for 20min. The sintered porous materials had a surface layer with smaller pores and inner parts with larger pores. The surface layer and pores controlled the absorption ratio and physical properties. As the expanding agent fraction and the sintering temperature increased, the porosity and pore size increased. The porous materials with Fe2O3 and graphite as the expanding agents had a low absorption ratio of about 3% or lower while the porous material with CaCO3 as the expanding agent had a higher absorption ratio and more open pores.

In this article, a novel method of analysing build consistency of additively manufactured open cell porous structures is presented. Conventionally, methods such as micro computed tomography or scanning electron microscopy imaging have been applied to the measurement of geometric properties of porous material; however, high costs and low speeds make them unsuitable for analysing high volumes of components. Recent advances in the image-based analysis of open cell structures have opened up the possibility of qualifying variation in manufacturing of porous material. Here, a photogrammetric method of measurement, employing image analysis to extract values for geometric properties, is used to investigate the variation between identically designed porous samples measuring changes in material thickness and pore size, both intra- and inter-build. Following the measurement of 125 samples, intra-build material thickness showed variation of ±12%, and pore size ±4% of the mean measured values across five builds. Inter-build material thickness and pore size showed mean ranges higher than those of intra-build, ±16% and ±6% of the mean material thickness and pore size, respectively. Acquired measurements created baseline variation values and demonstrated techniques suitable for tracking build deviation and inspecting additively manufactured porous structures to indicate unwanted process fluctuations.

YAG is an important advanced structural and functional material. The mechanism of controlling pore microstructure of YAG porous ceramics were investigated in this paper. Through the porosity and SEM result analyzing, the conclusions are shown as follows, the porosity and the pore size of YAG porous ceramics are decreased with increasing the sintering temperature, the pores of YAG porous ceramics show a regular and well-distributed structure as lower sintering temperature, the porosity of YAG porous ceramics is increased with increasing the foaming agent content, but the increasing tendency is few after adding content more 15wt%, when the foaming agent content is less than 15wt%, the big pore is more and the pore microstructure is better. So the sintering temperature at 1500°C for 1 hour and the foaming agent content for 15wt% are better controlling conditions for obtaining better porosity and pore microstructure.

Purpose The content of pore-foaming agent directly affects pore characteristics and oil-absorption properties of polyimide (PI) porous materials, which further influence the tribological performance of PI pore material. This research paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach Thermal vacuum molding technology was adopted to prepare PI porous material with different structures by changing the content of the pore-forming agent to control pore size and porosity of the PI material. PI oil-bearing materials were obtained by vacuum oil immersion. The tribological experiments of PI oil-bearing materials were conducted on the CETR friction and wear testing machine. Findings The study results showed that PI porous material with a specific structure can be obtained by controlling the content of a pore-forming agent. In a certain range, with the increase in the content of the pore-forming agent, the average pore size and porosity increased, also the oil content increased, which means that the friction coefficient and wear rate decreased to a very large extent, and antifriction and wear resistant properties of the PI porous materials greatly improved. When the content of the pore-forming agent exceeds 8 per cent, the wear rate and friction coefficient of the PI porous materials began to increase. Originality/value Because the complexity of the tribological system consists of lubricating oil, porous material and friction pair, the physical understanding of the mechanism of this process remains limited. Therefore, the present research was undertaken to identify the phenomena involved, which will provide practical guidance for the tribological application in the field of bearing parts.

AbstractOpen porous materials of higher strength and higher porosity were produced by a hot isostatic process (HIP). A grinding wheel of fused alumina grain with powdered frit for bridge is discussed as an example. The samples were directly heated to a normal sintering temperature under HIPping conditions. The HIPped products were characterized by higher bending strength in spite of having more open porosity than the normally sintered ones.

This study focuses on the development of an alkali-activated lightweight foamed material (AA-LFM) with enhanced density. Several mixes of tungsten waste mud (TWM), grounded waste glass (WG), and metakaolin (MK) were produced. Al powder as a foaming agent was added, varying from 0.009 w.% to 0.05 w.% of precursor weight. Expanded granulated cork (EGC) particles were incorporated (10% to 40% of the total volume of precursors). The physical and mechanical properties of the foamed materials obtained, the effects of the amount of the foaming agent and the percentage of cork particles added varying from 10 vol.% to 40% are presented and discussed. Highly porous structures were obtained, Pore size and cork particles distribution are critical parameters in determining the density and strength of the foams. The compressive strength results with different densities of AA-LFM obtained by modifying the foaming agent and cork particles are also presented and discussed. Mechanical properties of the cured structure are adequate for lightweight prefabricated building elements and components.

The diffuse sound absorption was investigated theoretically and experimentally for a periodically arranged sound absorber composed of perforated plates with extended tubes (PPETs) and porous materials. The calculation formulae related to the boundary condition are derived for the periodic absorbers, and then the equations are solved numerically. The influences of the incidence and azimuthal angle, and the period of absorber arrangement are investigated on the sound absorption. The sound-absorption coefficients are tested in a standard reverberation room for a periodic absorber composed of units of three parallel-arranged PPETs and porous material. The measured 1/3-octave band sound-absorption coefficients agree well with the theoretical prediction. Both theoretical and measured results suggest that the periodic PPET absorbers have good sound-absorption performance in the low- to mid-frequency range in diffuse field.

In this document, using the anti-squeezed force model in the narrow parallel plate when fluid is squeezed, the equivalent stiffness and damping model is derived. It is further verified that it can increase the stiffness and damping while there are oil between the joint interfaces theoretically. Because the contact state of oily porous material can divide into liquid and solid parts, the document supposes that it is correct and effective to think the stiffness and damping of the two parts as shunt connection.

A new method of analysis of PALS spectra of porous materials is proposed. The model considers both the thermalization process of positronium inside the pores and the pore size distribution. The new model is fitted to spectra of mesoporous silica MCM-41 and MSF. The resulting parameters are compared with parameters obtained from fitting the “conventional” models, i.e. a sum of exponential components with discrete or/and distributed lifetimes.
