The invention discloses a low
porosity rate Al-Mg-Ca-rare-earth-based closed-
cell foamed aluminum
alloy and a preparation method which are a foamed aluminum
alloy with good
corrosion-resistant performance, high strength, high finished product rate, simple method and low cost and a preparation method. The foamed aluminum
alloy takes
calcium carbonate as a
foaming agent, the
porosity rate is between 40 and 75 percent, wherein, the
manganese accounts for 1 to 11 percent (
mass percentage) of the alloy, the
calcium accounts for 0.5 to 5 percent (
mass percentage) of the alloy, the
rare earth accounts for 0.10 to 1.2 percent (
mass percentage) of the alloy. The preparation method is that: the pure aluminum is heated up for melting, the melting body is added with the
manganese equivalent to 1 to 11 percent of the mass of the alloy, the
calcium equivalent to 0.5 to 5 percent of the mass of the alloy and the
rare earth equivalent to 0.10 to 1.2 percent of the mass of the alloy, and kept for 10 to 30 minutes; the temperature of the melting body is ensured between 650 and 690 DEG C, the melting body is stirred for 2 to 12minutes with the speed of between 300 and 600rpm; the
calcium carbonate equivalent to 0.5 to 5 percent of the mass of the pure aluminum is added into the melting body to stir so as to make the aluminum alloy melting body to be foamed, the low
porosity rate Al-Mg-Ca-rare-earth-based closed-
cell foamed aluminum alloy is obtained after cooling.
