Fabrication of FeAl Intermetallic Foams by Tartaric Acid-Assisted Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Materials and Methods
3. Results and Discussion
4. Conclusions
- Sintering of iron and aluminum powders with the addition of tartaric acid allows one to successfully form Fe-Al intermetallic foams.
- Application of tartaric acid as the in situ foaming agent allows one to obtain foams with a more regular distribution of the pores, taking under consideration the surface and core of the specimens.
- The expected performance of the formed foams is promising for future applications of these materials as filters in aggressive environments of hot gases.
