“…Foam metals produced using aluminum can be used in many engineering applications due to their high strength and superior wear properties (Baumeister et al, 1997;Duarte and Banhart, 2000;Tan et al, 2005;Banhart and Seeliger, 2008). Although aluminum is generally used in metal foam production, nickel (Gauthier et al, 2004) and especially titanium (Lee et al, 2008;Kashef et al, 2009;Kovtunov et al, 2015) and tantalum (Zardiackas et al, 2001) are used for biomedical applications. The most commonly used foam metal production methods include precision casting (Allen et al, 1959), casting around hollow spheres (Banhart and Seeliger, 2008), metal injection molding, spacer, metal powder rolling, and sintering.…”

Elaboration of technology for manufacturing aluminum-based metal-matrix composite material strengthened with hollow ceramic microspheres for using thereof in underwater equipment

“…It should be noted that alongside with the size and degree of saturation the adhesion of the matrix with reinforcing particles has a decisive effect on the mechanical and service properties [4][5][6][7]. Furthermore, quite a significant reserve is available for the further improvement of dispersed-filled MMC properties due to developing various manufacturing technologies [8][9][10][11][12].…”

“…At present a special type of material such as foam aluminum is also applied in machinery; porous aluminum may have the porosity up to 80% with the pore size up to 5 mm and the density of 300 kg/m 3 . The strength and plastic properties of the foam essentially depend on its density [11][12][13]. However, this material has low mechanical properties and some significant constraints for producing complex-shaped components.…”
