The laser-based powder bed fusion (LBPF) process or commonly known as selective laser
melting (SLM) has made significant progress since its inception. Initially, conventional …

Metal foams are known for their unique combinations of physical and mechanical properties,
such as, lightweight, higher specific strength & stiffness, improved elevated temperature …

Selective laser melting (SLM) of aluminium is of research interest because of its potential
benefits to high value manufacturing applications in the aerospace and automotive …

Syntactic foams were fabricated by liquid metal infiltration of commercially pure and 7075
aluminum into preforms of hollow ceramic microspheres. The foams exhibited peak …

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 …

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 …

The existing functionally graded syntactic foams (FGSFs) are based on creating a gradient of
microballoon (hollow particles) volume fraction along the length or thickness of the …

Metal matrix syntactic foams are composites that incorporate hollow particles in a matrix,
where enclosing porosity inside the thin shell of the particle leads to low density without …

The compressive behaviour of eight different metal matrix syntactic foams (MMSFs) are
investigated and presented. The results showed that the engineering factors as chemical …

A new method has been established to predict the compressive strength of cenosphere–
aluminum syntactic foams, showing the relation between the relative wall thickness of the …
