Abstract

Porous metals were expected to use as a shock-absorbing material. Recently, as a new type of porous metal, lotus-type porous carbon steel (lotus steel) with homogenous pore size and porosity was fabricated by the continuous zone melting method. In this study, the impact properties of the lotus steel were investigated by an instrumented Charpy testing. The load-deflection curves were obtained and the absorbed energies for crack initiation or propagation were investigated. The total absorbed energy of the lotus steel was larger than that of the non-porous as cast steel. The influence of heat treatment on the impact properties was also investigated. The absorbed energy for crack initiation was almost constant regardless of heat treatment, while the absorbed energy for crack propagation increased with an increase of tempering temperature.
