Mechanical enhancement of fly ash syntactic foams via synergistic effects in lattice-reinforced three-phase composites
Fly ash, a byproduct of coal combustion, can be utilized to fabricate metallic matrix syntactic foams (MMSFs) due to its hollow microstructure and low density. However, the relatively low strength of fly ash limits the overall energy absorption capacity of the MMSFs. This study employed a two-step process of stir casting followed by infiltration casting to fabricate lattice-reinforced three-phase interpenetrating porous composites (IPCs), which exhibit well-bonded mechanical interlocking. The system integrated the high strength of lattice structures with the energy-absorption capacity of porous material. Quasi-static compression tests reveal that the synergistic effect of structural reinforcement from lattice architectures and interfacial bonding significantly enhanced mechanical performance. The IPCs demonstrate a maximum compressive strength of 106.3 MPa and specific energy absorption of 23.7 kJ·kg−1, representing improvements of 410.8 % and 59.1 %, respectively, compared to those of the baseline syntactic foam.
