Alusion is a form of Stabilized Aluminum Foam. The patented process for creating Alusion starts with a metal matrix composite – an aluminum alloy to which ceramic particles have been added. Once melted, the aluminum alloy is poured into a foaming box. Gas bubbles exiting immersed rotating impellers (a component of the air injection system) form the foam. The foam collects on the surface of the molten material, where it can be continuously drawn off to form a sheet. The foam structure is predominantly closed cell. The cell size is controlled by the gas flow rate, impeller design and impeller rotational speed. The rate and means by which the gas is introduced can be varied to produce foams with varying densities.
Cymat currently produces sheet product in standard 8'x4' (2.44m x 1.22m) sheets, in 1/2", 1" and 1.7" (12.5mm, 25mm and 42mm) thickness with either small and large cell cellular structure. Sheet products can be produced with either smooth, closed cell finish or open cell finish.
Castings and filled structures are made according to customer's specifications. Please contact Cymat Corp. to enquire about the process method appropriate for your application.
