Abstract

In this work, we observed the changes in mass difference according to Al-foam's amount of Ca contents which depends on the viscosity control of fusion, quality of foamed addition, mixing, temperature tests. These are crucial influencing factors in determining foam-metal's size in the manufacturing process. In order to obtain the specimen, we changed the specific gravity from 0.2 to 0.3 for the study of the light weight, and obtained the optimal values of specific gravity, and then showed the mechanical characteristics of ultra-lightweight metal according to the changing mass. The optimal conditions for aluminum foam is when the addition of Ca content in $1.5wt\%~2.0wt\%$
