Abstract:Metal foam (MF) is a cellular structure made up of solid metal with a substantial volume of gas-filled pores or hollow reinforcements of the space holder. The porosity of the foam can be isolated, interconnected, or hybrid. These kinds of ultra-light materials typically have 60% to 90% porosity. Based on the porosity content MFs are classified into open, closed, partially open, and syntactic foams. However, foam made from non-flammable metal continues to be non-flammable and can be recycled as base metal. It h… Show more
