Abstract:Porous aluminum has been widely used as a wick, an electrode, and in other products, due to its advantages of a light weight, pore uniformity, and corrosion resistance. However, the dense alumina layer on the surface of Al powder hinders its densification during sintering. In this paper, porous aluminum was prepared via loose powder sintering with the addition of Cu as a sintering aid. The effects of Cu content on the microstructure and wick properties of the porous aluminum were investigated. The results show… Show more
