In this overview of steel-based composites, consideration is given to conventional metal-
matrix composites, in which steel is combined with another metal, ceramic, or polymer. In …

A heated mold with temperature above the polymer‐softening temperature is highly desired
in precision injection molding. The elevated mold temperature reduces unwanted freezing …

Based on previous lab-scale heat transfer experiments performed in a test tube filled with
metallic foams, extensive simulations of conjugated heat transfer were performed to …

In this study, the consequence of cell-size, cell-wall-thickness and cell circularity together on
the compressive performance of closed-cell aluminum foam was analyzed experimentally …

High-porosity, open-cell AZ91 magnesium alloy foams of two pore sizes were fabricated by
means of investment casting technology, using PUR foam patterns. Foam casting variables …

This study advances the state of the art by computing the macroscopic elastic properties of
2D periodic functionally graded microcellular materials, incorporating both isotropic and …

This review article aims to provide a greater understanding of on-going research in fracture
behavior of additively manufacturable microcellular structures. Despite growing recent …

Integral foam has been used in the production of polymer materials for a long time. Metal
integral foam casting systems are obtained by transferring and adapting polymer injection …

Aluminum closed cell foam blocks are created with a volume of 1 inch3 which consist of
aluminum foam parts shielded with part of aluminum tube and in some types reinforced with …

Abstract In this study, Ni/Mg hybrid foams were fabricated by depositing electroless Ni-P
coatings on open-cell Mg foams. The microstructure, composition and phases of Ni-P …
