Abstract
The Conform technology is a process for continuous extrusion of nonferrous metals. In this thesis its suitability for fabrication of foamable precursor material for aluminium foam products is examined. A mixture of metal powder and a gas-releasing blowing agent is extruded to dense metallic billets, which subsequently are foamed by heating, due to decomposition of the foaming agent. The effects of the major influence quantities like powder input, tooling, wheel speed and process temperature on production speed, yield and foam expansion are the main fields of investigation. Beside an optimisation of parameters for single profile sections, a general scheme of the process is determined for easier development of new products.
