Characteristics and Test Aspects of Metal-Based Foams

Abstract

There is a continuous development in automotive body production to expand the use of metal foams. The use of aluminium foams in vehicles is made possible by the high strength/mass ratio, which means that mass reduction is not accompanied by a reduction in safety. Reducing mass (self-weight), on the other hand, is essential due to increasingly stringent environmental regulations. The present composition draws attention to the structural properties of metal-based foams and its testability.
