Titel
Metal Foams under extreme conditions
Abstract
A powder metallurgical process for the production of metal foams is described. Physical and mechanical properties of aluminium foams are presented with focus on the energy absorption capacity. The dependencies of foam density and material on metal foam properties are described and thereby tools for tailoring the properties of given applications discussed. The foaming process is characterised by expansion and temperature diagrams and the influence of different foaming parameters discussed.
