Abstract

For the first time AZ91 (MgAl9Zn1) and AM60 (MgAl6) Mg alloy foams with homogeneous pore structures were prepared successfully via melting foaming method by using $CaCO_3$ powder as blowing agent. The possible foaming mechanisms and pore structures of these Mg alloy foams were discussed and investigated. The results show that Mg alloy melt can affect $CaCO_3$ decomposition behavior and AZ91 Mg alloy is relative easy to be foamed into metal foam with high porosity and big pore size.

[ $CaCO_3$ ]를 발포제로 사용하여 균일한 기공구조를 가지는 AZ91과 AM60 마그네슘 합금의 발포 금속을 주조법을 통하석 제조하였다. 발포 금속의 제조가 가능한 이유와 발포 마그네슘 합금의 기공구조가 연구를 통하여 논의되었다. 마그네슘 합금의 용탕은 $CaCO_3$의 분해 거동에 영향을 미친다. 제조된 AZ91 마그네슘 합금의 발포 금속은 높은 기공률과 큰 기공의 크기를 가졌으며, 발포 금속들 중에서 상대적으로 쉽게 발포되는 것으로 판단된다.
