The upset-forging experiments were conducted using the sintered preforms prepared by compacting aluminium metal powder in the closed dies and various deformation characteristics were measured.
Tests were carried out on 2024-T351 aluminium compact tension (CT) specimens.
The salt layer has a duplex structure composed of an inner compact layer through which aluminium ions migrate by high-field conduction and an outer porous layer where ionic conduction occurs in the electrolyte filling the pores.
The aluminium-finished compact camera features 3x optical and 3.2x digital zooms, 30-second movie capture, 10MB of internal memory and a Secure Digital (SD) card slot for adding extra storage.
By varying the local sodium chloride (NaCl) volume fractions in the sodium chloride/aluminium (NaCl/Al) compact, it is possible to fabricate aluminium foam with different relative densities.
Three different aluminium foams, manufactured by compact powder technology starting from 7075, 6061 and AlSi7 alloys were studied by performing microstructural and morphometric analyses, with the aim of explaining their different behaviour during axial crushing.
Two different closed-cell aluminium foams, manufactured by compact powder technology starting from 7075 and 6061 alloys, were studied with the aim of investigating the effect of heat treatments on their axial crushing behaviour.
This paper reports the initial research results, and demonstrates that cyanoacrylate can be used as an effective reactive binder with aluminium oxide to produce compacts that can be machined using conventional carbide tools in order to manufacture engineering parts.
