Porous metals such as foams and sponges are produced by a wide variety of industrially
applied techniques mainly for load bearing and structural applications. Their functional …

Aluminum metal foam has wide applications for lightweight construction has become an
attractive research field. In this review paper, the various possible methods for Aluminium …

The natural convective heat transfer of nanofluids was addressed inside a square enclosure
filled by three different layers: solid, porous medium and free fluid. The behavior of the …

The dynamic gas injection method with high-speed horizontal oscillation could reduce the
cell size and improve the cell quality of aluminum foams, so it is of interest to study the …

Even with their wide usage, porous metal foams (PMFs) are limited by their poor mechanical
strength owing to their inherent porous structures. This study employed a combination of …

Closed-cell aluminum foams have many excellent properties, such as low density, high
specific strength, great energy absorption, good sound absorption, electromagnetic …

The porous magnesium with novel pore structure was characterized in terms of damping
capacities, compressive properties and energy absorption capabilities. The results indicated …

The most attractive aspect of metal foams is that they can combine the properties of metallic
materials (eg, strength, high melting temperature) with the properties of porous materials …

Difficulties in producing shaped closed-cell aluminum foam parts limit the development and
application of aluminum foams. The technique of shaped aluminum foam part preparation by …

The cell structure and mechanical properties of aluminium foams prepared by melt foaming
(MF) method are supposed to be better than the ones produced by gas injection (GI) …
