Metal-gas eutectic directional solidification (Gasar) ia a novel technology for preparing lotus-type metals with oriented pores parallel to the solidification direction. We developed a Gasar apparatus to have successfully prepared lotus-type porous Mg samples. Effects of technological parameters
including preheating temperature of cast mold and gas pressure
on gas-hole rate
gas-hole size and gas-hole distribution in the lotus-type porous Mg were investigated. The results indicate that gas holes in metal shell can be eliminated by the increase of the preheating temperature of cast mold. Average diameters of the ingot decrease with hydrogen pressure increase.About 8% hydrogen is overflowed during the total Gasar solidification.
