Abstract
The cellular structure and unique properties of aluminum foams cause problems with their cutting and bonding. This paper describes the production methods, structure, properties and application of aluminum foams. It also discusses foam cutting methods such as water jet, laser and electrical discharge machining as means of edge preparing for brazing and soldering. Among methods of foam mechanical and weld joining, particular focus is put on brazing and soldering techniques. The limitations and possibilities of aluminum foam brazing and soldering are characterised.
Streszczenie
Komórkowa struktura i wyjątkowe cechy pian aluminiowych są przyczyną problemów z ich lutowaniem. W artykule przedstawiono metody wytwarzania, strukturę, właściwości i zastosowanie pian aluminiowych. Scharakteryzowano również sposoby cięcia pian wodą, laserem i obróbką elektroerozyjną, jako metod przygotowania brzegów do lutowania oraz techniki łączenia pian: mechanicznych i spawalniczych ze szczególnym naciskiem na ich lutowanie miękkie i twarde. Określono ograniczenia i możliwości lutowania pian aluminiowych.
