There are two ways to produce SAF aluminum foam plate by injection foaming, one is horizontal continuous casting, the other is low pressure casting.The method of horizontal continuous casting is suitable for the manufacture of foamed aluminum plates.The raw material for this process is an aluminum-based compound, an aluminum alloy containing ceramic particles.It is not easy to blow gas into the liquid metal and make it bubble. The bubbles are less stable and easy to burst.If a small number of refractory particles are added to the melt, it will effectively prevent the flow of liquid on the bubble wall, thus producing a steady bubble.
SAF aluminum foam plate made by horizontal continuous casting is the closed cell foam material.The size of the bubble can be controlled by changing the operating conditions of the gas injection system.The method and rate of gas introduction can change the density of the foam to a relative density of 5%-25%,
The excellent energy absorption capability of the SAF aluminum foam plate allows it to be used for military purposes. Due to its light weight and environmental protection, the SAF aluminum foam plate is an ideal component in a lightweight impact resistant system and can be used in fixed buildings and vehicles.Automobiles are one of the largest target markets for AFS aluminum foam plate, which can be used for bumpers, enhanced structural parts, NVH(noise, vibration and body jumping) improvements in automotive design, and other lightweight components
