Characterization of Ceramic Foam Filters Used for Liquid Metal Filtration

Abstract: In the current study, the morphology including tortuosity, and the permeability of 50-mm thick commercially available 30, 40, 50, and 80 pores per inch (PPI) alumina ceramic foam filters (CFFs) have been investigated. Measurements have been taken of cell (pore), window, and strut sizes, porosity, tortuosity, and liquid permeability. Water velocities from~0.015 to 0.77 m/s have been used to derive both first-order (Darcy) and second-order (Non-Darcy) terms for being used with the Forchheimer equation. Measureme… Show more

“…In metallurgy, CFFs are used to remove undesired nonmetallic particles from molten metal before casting, [1,4,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] i.e., filtration. In order to prime the filters, the melt has to reach a certain pressure on the top of the filter to initiate passage through the filter.…”

“…[9][10][11][12]14] To estimate, adjust, and maintain the required pressure and to regulate the melt velocity, it is essential to determine the Darcy and non-Darcy permeability coefficients of the filter. [8,9,15] The permeability coefficients can be obtained using permeametry experiments. [16][17][18] In general, permeametry is based on a gas or liquid flow through a porous media.…”
