Owing to its lightweight and excellent shock-absorbing properties, aluminum foam is used in automotive parts and construction materials. If a nondestructive quality assurance method can be established, the application of aluminum foam will be further expanded. In this study, we attempted to estimate the plateau stress of aluminum foam via machine learning (deep learning) using X-ray computed tomography (CT) images of aluminum foam. The plateau stresses estimated by machine learning and those actually obtained using the compression test were almost identical. Consequently, it was shown that plateau stress can be estimated by training using the two-dimensional cross-sectional images obtained nondestructively via X-ray CT imaging.

The interfacial mechanical characteristics of sandwich structures are crucial in defining the comprehensive mechanical performance of the whole structure. Nevertheless, in practical applications, the interface often emerges as the weakest segment due to potential defects in the interface of porous metal sandwich plates (PMSP). This study aims to explore the regulatory mechanisms influencing the mechanical characteristics of nano-SiO-reinforced aluminum foam sandwich structure (AFS) interfaces and to propose an effective strategy to achieve AFS interfaces with superior and stable mechanical properties.

The porous structure, in which many pores are intentionally placed inside the material, has excellent impact energy absorption properties. Recent studies have attempted to fabricate multi-layered porous structures with different mechanical properties within a single porous structure sample, and the mechanical properties of these structures are being elucidated. However, these studies mainly attempted to vary the densities, pore structures, and alloy compositions within a single material, such as aluminum, for the entire sample.

Steel Ball Impact on SiC/AlSi12 Interpenetrated Composite by Peridynamics.

Materials (Basel)

January 2025

CT-Lab UG (Haftungsbeschränkt), Nobelstr. 15, 70569 Stuttgart, Germany.

Silicon carbide and an aluminum alloy (SiC/AlSi12) composite are obtained during the pressurized casting process of the aluminum alloy into the SiC foam. The foam acts as a high-stiffness skeleton that strengthens the aluminum alloy matrix. The goal of the paper is to describe the behavior of the material, considering its internal structure.

Enhancing selectivity of β-O-4 bond cleavage for lignin depolymerization a sacrificial anode.

Chem Commun (Camb)

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Pulp and Paper Engineering, South China University of Technology, 510640 Guangzhou, P. R. China.

Herein, we report a novel electrochemical hydrogenolysis method for β-O-4 bond cleavage by using carbon foam as the cathode and waste aluminum as the anode. The reaction takes place at the cathode, producing ketones and phenolic compounds. Employing waste aluminum as the anode could avoid anodic excessive oxidation of phenols.

Geopolymer Foam with Low Thermal Conductivity Based on Industrial Waste.

Materials (Basel)

December 2024

Faculty of Materials Engineering and Physics, Cracow University of Technology, Jana Pawła II 37, 31-864 Cracow, Poland.

Geopolymer materials are increasingly being considered as an alternative to environmentally damaging concrete based on Portland cement. The presented work analyzed waste from mines and waste incineration plants as potential precursors for producing geopolymer materials that could be used to make lightweight foamed geopolymers for insulation applications. The chemical and phase composition, radioactivity properties, and leachability of selected precursors were analyzed.
