Zhou Quan, Chen Leping. Preparation of Foamed Magnesium by Direct Molten Foaming Process[J]. Special Casting & Nonferrous Alloys, 2009,29(3):224-226.DOI:
Foamed magnesium was prepared with ZM5 alloy as matrix alloy and SiC as viscosity-increasing agent as wellas MgCO3 as foaming agent by direct molten foaming process.It is found that foamed magnesium with low density and high porosity rate can be successfully prepared.With increasing in MgCO3 or SiC content
density of the foamed magnesium is decreased.However
it is slightly increased with MgCO3 content more than 1.5% or SiC content more than 15%.Variation of average porous rate in foamed magnesium is opposite to that of density’s.
