Abstract

The porous aluminium is in high demand due to its low-density, high-energy absorption and high damping properties. A precursor method using friction stir processing (FSP) was used in the current study to develop metal foam on AA6061-T6 using MgCO3 as a blowing agent. A composite parameter, i.e., unit stirring was used to study the combined effect of FSP parameters while developing the metal foam. The FSPed sample was heat treated at 650°C with a holding time of 15 minutes. It was found that the highest porosity 18.18% was obtained at the lowest unit stirring of 0.004960 mm/rev-shoulder diameter.
