Abstract. Advanced pore morphology (APM) foam, consisting of sphere-like metallic foam elements, proves to have advantageous mechanical properties and unique application adjustability. Since the APM foam manufacturing procedure has been developed recently, the mechanical characterization of these materials is still very limited. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to determine the behaviour of APM spheres and its composites when subjected to quasi-static and dynamic compressive loading. The results of the performed research have shown valuable mechanical properties of the composite APM foam structures, offering new possibilities for their use in general engineering applications.

“…Homogeneous heat transfer into the precursor, foaming mould design and precursor geometry are most important for high quality near-net shape aluminum foam part production in moulds. If these parameters cannot be controlled non-uniform expansion can occurs 10,11 . But the spherical-shaped metallic foam parts are produced without a mould.…”

“…Surface tension of the metal melt shapes the elements spherical. Due to gravity force the geometry is not perfectly spherical 10,11 . The result is a high reproducibility of the expansion level in contrast to foam expansion in moulds.…”

The effect of production parameters on the foaming behavior of spherical-shaped aluminum foam was studied. Elemental powders of Alumix 231 and 1% TiH 2 were mixed, compacted at 600 MPa pressure by using a uniaxial action press to produce blanks with 50×30×10 mm in dimensions. These blanks were pre-heated at 550 °C in a furnace for 180 min and then deformed by 10, 30, 50 and 70% by using an eccentric press. They were cut into square shape and foamed at temperatures between 650 °C and 710 °C. It was experimentally found that, the volume expansion rate of foam increases but the maximum foaming duration decreases with increasing the deformation rate and foaming temperature. In these studies 70% deformation and 3.5 minutes foaming duration were found to be the best for the production of spherical foams. This was determined by obtaining the maximum expansion, lower density and homogeneously distributed pores with spherical foams. It was also found that 10% deformation rate was not enough for foaming.
