Morphology of Aluminum Alloy Foams Produced with Dolomite via Partial Sintering of Precursors

Highly expanded, low-cost aluminum-based foams were successfully produced via powder metallurgy using dolomite as foaming agent. Nickel additions (5−15 wt.%) were explored in order to reduce the temperature disparity between dolomite decomposition and the melting range of the metallic matr...
