Abstract

The effect of rolling temperature on the precursor of aluminum foam sandwich (AFS) prepared by powder metallurgy through Pack Rolling method is investigated in this work. The cross-section along rolling direction of the precursors was observed. It was found that periodic corrugated morphology with micro-cracks on the composite interface as well as cracks and micro-holes among core powder particles emerged abundantly at room temperature rolling. These defects degraded with increasing rolling temperature and completely disappeared when the rolling temperature reached 400 °C. Combining with foaming ability of these precursors, the densification mechanism of core powders was discussed. Powder particles deformed with difficulty at low rolling temperature; the gap between them cannot be effectively filled through their plastic deformation. Fracture occurred in powder core layer during co-extension with the outer panel and was partly embedded by it, resulting in corrugated composite morphology at the interface. The precursors of high density and excellent bonding interface were prepared at the rolling temperature of 400 °C. A more suitable foaming condition was determined.
