Open-cell and closed-cell metal foams have been reinforced with different kinds of micro-
and nano-sized reinforcements to enhance their mechanical properties of the metallic …

Porous metals have been under development for nearly a century, but commercial adoption
remains limited. This development has followed two primary routes: liquid state or solid state …

Metal matrix syntactic foams (MMSFs) are high-performance foams consisting of a light-
weight matrix and a set of porous fillers. The obstacle against the wide-spreading of MMSFs …

Aluminium alloy syntactic foams reinforced with iron hollow spheres were produced by low
pressure, liquid phase inert gas infiltration technique. Four Al alloys (Al99. 5, AlSi12 …

Aluminum alloy A356 filled with silicon carbide hollow spheres (SiCHS) is investigated for
quasi-static (10− 3s− 1) and high strain rate (up to 1520s− 1) compressive properties. Such …

Over the past two decades, a large number of metallic foams have been developed. In
recent years research on this multi-functional material class has further intensified. However …

This paper presents experimental work to characterise the dynamic behaviour of aluminium
matrix syntactic foams subjected to compression, Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar and terminal …

This paper reviews the background and evolution of composite metal foam (CMF) from its
inception until now. A broad understanding of the processing and basic mechanical …

Expanded glass (EG) and alumina hollow spheres (HS) hybrid reinforced aluminum matrix
syntactic foams and syntactic foams containing only a single reinforcement were prepared …

This paper addresses an innovative syntactic foam (SF) formed by counter-gravity infiltration
of a packed bed of low-cost expanded perlite (EP) particles with molten A356 aluminium …
