| Abstract Scope |
Aluminum alloy matrix syntactic foams are classified as composite foams, and they can be useful for energy-absorber. The mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy matrix syntactic foams are enhanced by the addition of hollow particles, and they have low density and improved energy absorption efficiency. Quantitative analysis of dispersion for the hollow particles in the aluminum alloy matrix syntactic foam is important because the dispersion of the hollow particles is a variable influencing the mechanical properties and deformation behavior. The three-dimensional analysis of the dispersion for the hollow particles can be estimated more clearly than two-dimensional analysis. In this study, we could synthesize the aluminum-magnesium alloy matrix syntactic foams with well-dispersed cenospheres by stir casting, and the microstructure of the syntactic foams are characterized by three-dimensional analysis. Also, we have attempted to quantitatively analyze the distribution and dispersion of the hollow particles in the matrix. |
