- the inventive geometric design of the gas inlet tube can created the first desired and stable gas bubble removal criteria in the melt which have substantially the same single bubble volume and accordingly resulting formed metal foam.
- the formation of the device can be made with advantage so that the Outlet opening of the gas introduction tube to an extent of at least the 5 times, preferably at least 10 times, the value of the largest Inner dimension of the outlet opening is formed protruding into the melt. In order to are particularly effective stable tear-off criteria of the bubbles in the melt reachable.
- the gas inlet tube a circular gas outlet opening and has a pipe end edge or annular pipe face, are special Economical pipe end formations for controlling the gas bubble size can be created.
- the projecting into the melt gas inlet tube at least in Area of the gas outlet end a kugelsegment-, truncated cone or having truncated pyramidal outer contour. It is advantageous, the outer contour the gas introduction tube so that the angle that the generator of the Stump surface with the axis of the gas inlet channel includes a value of less than 60 °, preferably less than 45 °.
- Plant technology but also with regard to the performance of the plant and the Product quality can also provide a substantial advantage if at least 2, preferably more than 2 gas inlet tubes, in particular each with the same mutual distance, preferably a value of greater than 10 times the Einrageausiqueses the outlet opening and the gas inlet tube in the Melting, in a replaceable nozzle in the melting vessel of Metal foam systems are arranged.
- gas inlet tubes in particular each with the same mutual distance, preferably a value of greater than 10 times the Einrageausiquesconcees the outlet opening and the gas inlet tube in the Melting, in a replaceable nozzle in the melting vessel of Metal foam systems are arranged.
- the invention aims at a further embodiment, with which also in continuous operation over long periods stable Gasblasenablinatekriterien Foaming a molten metal can be achieved.
- the object to provide an embodiment of the device with which also in the Continuous operation over long periods of stable gas bubble removal criteria Foaming a molten metal can be achieved is achieved by that the gas inlet tube at least in the region of the protruding end of a ceramic consists.
- the invention makes use of the knowledge that the ceramic formed parts of the device, optionally the entire device at Comparison with previously used steel-fabricated equipment with molten metal react significantly slower and at the same time with the same geometry the formation of a hydrophobic system with respect to a gas bubble formation in Allow entry of gas into the melt.
- the ceramic is an oxide ceramic, in particular an aluminum oxide ceramic.
- the further object of the invention is a method of the type mentioned specify with which high quality metal foam by blowing gas into it foamable metal can be created is achieved by a uniformity of the Diameter or the size of the individual bubbles and the size of the Gas bubbles through a geometric nozzle design and by adjusting the Influence parameters of the gas are controlled in the molten metal.
- Process engineering but also with regard to a high product quality can continue from Be advantageous if the gas at a pressure of 0.3 to 12 bar, preferably 0.7 to 5 bar, is blown into the foaming metal.
- Particularly lightweight or low density having metal foam body can be created when the metallic melt of light metal, preferably made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy. This can also be a achieved versatile material behavior at low mass of the part become.
- the foamability of the metal, but also the formation of the foam matrix or the foam wall can be substantially improved if SiC particles and / or Al 2 O 3 particles and other non-metallic particles and / or particles of intermetallic phases are used to prepare the foamable molten metal be used. It is favorable in terms of stability and strength, in particular buckling strength of the foam walls when particles for stabilizing the metal foam with a size of 1 to 50 microns, preferably 3 to 20 microns, used and evenly distributed in the foam matrix, with excellent results can be achieved if in the base metal, a foamable molten metal with a volume fraction of particles of 2 to 50 vol .-%, in particular from 18 to 28 vol .-% is created.
- an oxygen-containing gas preferably air
- substantially pure oxygen is injected, in Surprisingly, the beneficial effects of a on the particle content of Melt tuned gas bubbles minimum height to be increased because at the Surface of the particle and metal-laden gas bubble at the same time a reinforcing acting oxide layer is formed.
- the invention also aims to a flowable Metal foam with gas bubbles passing through walls of a liquid metal matrix solid reinforcing particles is limited. This goal is thereby achieved that the diameter of the largest gas bubbles broken by that the smallest gas bubbles gives a value of less than 2.5.
- a flowable Metal foam can be used with high accuracy when using different means Parts are shaped and allowed to solidify, depending on individual bubble size and Ratio of a specific density of the part and its compression behavior at Drucknapssbeaufschlagung be achieved. Foam parts with a density of each 0.09 to 0.11 experience, for example, only slightly increasing Compressive stresses of 0.25 to 0.8 MPa compression ratios up to 70%.
- a metal foam body which is both high-area and high punctiform mechanical stress withstand, is achieved by that at a Metal foam of the type mentioned the pores substantially spherical and / or ellipsoidal closed, with the largest each Diameter of the pores are distributed monomodally and the pores are essentially made out individual stabilized bubbles are formed and that the wall inner surfaces at least partially coated with an oxide.
- a metal foam body according to the invention exhibits an isotropic aspect mechanical properties favorable monomodal size distribution of spatial evenly distributed pores additionally an oxide-reinforced pore wall structure, whereby an increased load capacity achieved in use or a period of use of components with a metal foam unit can be increased. Because of a Formation of the pores such that the pores are substantially single, stabilized bubbles correspond to a flowable metal foam, is suitable Inventive metal foam body for use in components not only at high planar load, but also excellent at high punctiform occurring Burden.
- a gas inlet tube 1 is shown, which with an extent E in a Melt protrudes.
