Modern Applications of Aluminium Foams

Flórián Garai

Abstract: The implementation of aluminium alloy foam has more and more attention. Application of closed cell aluminium foam has made an impact in automobile and aerospace applications where crash energy absorption, vibration and weight reduction are obligatory [1,2,3]. The aluminium alloy foam is an advanced lightweight material providing high strength and stiffness at relatively low density. The technological use of aluminium alloy foam is difficult with the currently available technologies. In the case of open cell al… Show more

“…A light weight construction requires high stiffness-to-mass ratio which is found in metallic foams. 4 Structure with foam are preferable for many reasons like these are easier to manufacture with a given complicated geometry. 5 Foam based structures are more robust and tolerant to damage, and the failure behavior is no more catastrophic.…”

“…The application of aluminum foams is diverse, and the most common areas of use are: structural elements in lightweight structures, energy-absorbing elements, vibration and sound-damping elements, filters, design elements, reinforcement components and heat exchanger elements [4]. Furthermore, since it is possible to produce foams of very high density, and thus small dimensions of intercellular spaces, the structure of open cells is extremely suitable for making filters for liquids and gases [5]. Guarino et al [6] developed an innovative heat exchanger manufactured by using open-cell Al-based foams.…”

“…The popularity of aluminum foam nowadays has increased. It can be investigated easily by the number of scientific articles that discuss it [1]. Metal foams are known for their unique combinations of physical and mechanical properties, such as lightweight, higher specific strength & stiffness, improved elevated temperature strength, and excellent energy absorption capacity at very low plateau stress.…”
