The history of metallic foams and the key innovations that have led to the variety of
processing methods known today are reviewed. It is evident that the idea of foaming metals …

X‐ray tomography is a versatile tool in materials research and engineering since it allows for
a non‐destructive and three‐dimensional mapping of the constituents of a heterogeneous …

We studied microporosity in the metallic matrix of aluminium foams produced by the powder
metallurgical route both with and without application of a blowing agent. Microporosity was …

The application of different cooling rates as a strategy to enhance the structure of aluminium
foams is studied. The potential to influence the level of morphological defects and cell size …

The production of closed-cell metallic foams has been of interest to the scientific community
and industry for decades, owing to their unique properties, which include high specific …

Ultra-light metal foams became an attractive research field both from the scientific and
industrial applications view points. Closed-cell metal foams, in particular aluminium alloy (Al …

Columns with regular octet lattice microstructure have been manufactured by electron beam
melting of Ti-6Al-4V powders. Each column comprised sixteen cells in the axial direction and …

Nucleation and growth of pores in AlSi6Mg4Cu4, AlSi6Cu4, AlCu10, AlSi7 alloys were
examined in situ using X-ray tomoscopy. The pore evolution in the foaming precursors was …

In this study, the effectiveness of three different types of Mg-based blowing agents on the
structure and properties of aluminum alloy foam was compared. AlMg15Cu10 alloy foams …

The relation between the powder characteristics, the aluminium-alloy properties and the
preparation of precursors was studied by SEM/EDS analysis, powder-metallurgy standard …
