The Role of Oxidation in Blowing Particle‐Stabilised Aluminium Foams

“…The oxide layers on a commercial foam made by CYMAT Inc., Canada, which consisted of a AlSi12Mg0.6 alloy matrix reinforced with SiC particles with 10 lm diameter were investigated as well. These foams are blown using air at 625 C. [21] Light Optical Microscopy (LOM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Image Analysis and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) were applied to examine the architecture of the foams and the microstructure of the cell wall material. Oxide skin formation was studied by Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES).…”
