X-ray radioscopy enables the in-situ monitoring of metal alloy processes and then gives
access to crucial information on the dynamics of the underlying phenomena. In the last …

The use of X-ray radioscopy for in-situ studies of metal foam formation and evolution is
reviewed. Selected results demonstrate the power of X-ray radioscopy as diagnostic tool for …

Aluminium casting alloys containing Mg and Cu in addition to Si were investigated with
respect to their potential to be foamed. The kinetics of foam expansion of different alloys was …

In order to reduce the particle addition in closed-cell aluminum foam, the effect of particles
on foam drainage behavior was investigated numerically. The coupled CFD-DEM method …

Initiation and growth of metal foam is a complex and dynamical process, which is intrinsically
three-dimensional and time-dependent. Tomoscopy–or time-resolved tomography–allows …

The morphology of solid metallic foams is governed by the evolution of the cellular structure
during the foaming process in the liquid state. We study quantitatively film ruptures in liquid …

In order to improve the stabilization of closed-cell aluminum foams during preparation
process, a horizontal steady uniform magnetic field was imposed. The three-dimensional …

The cell wall rupture kinetics for a collection of AlSi9 foam samples kept at a constant
temperature over the melting point for a long time period (700 s) has been characterized by …

Complex liquid structures such as metallic foams were produced in a furnace that allowed in
situ X-ray monitoring of the evolution of the structure and distribution of the liquid in the foam …

This paper describes an X-ray based non-destructive imaging method to study polymer
foams. A broad description of the main hardware elements–tube and detector specially …
