In this paper we consider deformation behaviour and energy absorption ability of the heattreated aluminium foams AA6061 and AA7075 with respect to variability of pore structure and defects in cell wall affected by the chemical composition of the foamable precursor itself. The work was focused on the evaluation of cell wall microstructure, the geometry of pores and defects present within the cell walls, and their influence on strength and deformation behaviour properties of the foam.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
