Abstract

This study demonstrates the stabilization of Mg-3Ca foams by ex-situ addition of TiB₂ particles (D₅₀ = 8.045 μm) as effective agents to enhance foam morphology and stability. TiB₂ additions (3 and 5 vol%) delayed cell coarsening and preserved higher circularity by increasing melt viscosity. While Mg-3Ca foams contracted during prolonged foaming (5–15 min), TiB₂-containing foams retained and even enhanced their expansion, achieving volumes of 625 % and 652 % compared to 566 % for the base alloy. A single-film stabilization model revealed thicker and smoother films (130 μm to 323 μm) with reduced oxide accumulation in the presence of TiB₂ particles, highlighting their role in enhancing foam longevity. Quasi-static compression tests indicated that higher TiB₂ content introduced serrated deformation, slightly reducing energy absorption. These findings advance our understanding of particle-stabilized Mg foams, offering new opportunities for lightweight, high-performance materials

TiB2颗粒对Mg-3Ca合金泡沫的稳定作用

研究表明，在Mg-3Ca泡沫中加入TiB2颗粒（D50 = 8.045 μm）可以有效地增强泡沫的形态和稳定性。TiB2添加量（3和5 vol%）通过增加熔体粘度延缓了细胞粗化，并保持了较高的圆度。Mg-3Ca泡沫在长时间发泡（5-15分钟）过程中收缩，而含tib2泡沫保持甚至增强了其膨胀，与基体合金的566%相比，其体积分别达到625%和652%。单膜稳定模型显示，在TiB2颗粒存在的情况下，薄膜更厚、更光滑（130 μm至323 μm），氧化物积累减少，突出了它们在提高泡沫寿命方面的作用。准静态压缩试验表明，较高的TiB2含量会引起锯齿形变形，稍微降低能量吸收。这些发现促进了我们对颗粒稳定Mg泡沫的理解，为轻质高性能材料提供了新的机会

期刊介绍： The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
