description | This paper employs an innovative investigation approach to study pore evolution in Al-Si-Mg-Cu alloy within aluminum foam sandwiches (AFS) by integrating data from heating–expansion ratio curves, in situ observation of synchronous radiation, and microscopic analysis of the matrix’s microstructure at different stages. Additionally, the cavity design and plate type control for large-scale AFS production are explored. Findings categorize the precursor heating into three stages: rapid heating, solid–liquid transition, and stable foaming. During solid–liquid transition, the expansion rate experiences a sudden drop, associated with pore nucleation and edge cracking of precursors. Pores nucleate as elongated crack-like structures along the rolling direction, guided by the Mg-enriched regions. In stable foaming, these pores evolve, become spherical, and the matrix rapidly expands. Using square tubes for sealing on the preform cavity sides creates a dense edge zone during rolling, halting crack propagation into the powder core. Adopting edge sealing during foaming mitigates boundary effects, thereby improving AFS panel flatness. |
