Problems solved by technology

[0007] (1) When other foaming process conditions are constant, the size of the aluminum melt foam can only increase with the increase of the pressure or flow rate of the gas, and cannot be artificially controlled to reduce it, resulting in the preparation of small-pore-diameter high The production efficiency is low when the density is foamed aluminum;
[0008] (2) Due to the inability to produce aluminum melt foam with uniform size, the density uniformity of closed-cell aluminum foam is poor, resulting in significant performance differences of aluminum foam with the same density [R.Edwin Raj, B.S.S.Daniel, Structural and compressive property correlation of closed-cell aluminum foam, J, Alloys Comp., 467(2009) 1-2, 550-556.A.E.Simone, L.J.Gibson, Aluminum foams produced by liquid-state processes.Acta Materialia, 46(1998)9, 3109- 3123.];
[0009] (3) Aluminum foam products cannot be produced according to the predetermined pore size

Abstract

The invention relates to a process and an apparatus for continuous production of a closed-cell aluminum foam through blowing foaming. The process comprises the following steps: melting a raw material, adding with a ceramic tackifier and a moistening promoter, stirring to obtain molten aluminum with uniform component, carrying out continuous foaming with the apparatus for the continuous productionof the closed-cell aluminum foam with blowing foaming to obtain a molten aluminum foam with uniform foam size, and controllable density and productivity, and producing a foamed aluminum board by going through a net belt and transmitting with an arc transition mechanism and cutting. The apparatus is characterized in that: a simple crank link mechanism is adopted to realize the reciprocating motion of a horizontal outlet duct, and the arc transition mechanism allows the ascending lifting of the molten aluminum foam to be changed into horizontal transmission. According to the invention, the process and the apparatus are simple, the operation control is accurate, and a purpose that the pore size and the density of foamed aluminum products can be accurately controlled at a high efficiency anda low cost is realized because the foam size of the molten aluminum is adjusted by changing the frequency of the reciprocating motion of the outlet duct, the pressure and the flow of a compressed gasand the diameter of outlet micropores.
