Amorphous metal foams
نویسندگان
چکیده
As recently demonstrated, amorphous metal foams are highly ductile in compression, and thus offer attractive compromises in mechanical and physical properties between crystalline metallic and ceramic foams. Challenges associated with fabrication of amorphous metal foams are critically assessed in the context of current and future processing methods, and conclusions are drawn regarding the properties and future applications of ductile amorphous metal foams. 2005 Acta Materialia Inc.

Processing and Properties of Advanced Metallic Foams A DISSERTATION
Processing and Properties of Advanced Metallic Foams Alan Harold Brothers Since the development of the first aluminum foams in the middle of the 20th century [178], great advances have been made in the processing and fundamental understanding of metallic foams. As a result of these advances, metallic foams are now penetrating a number of applications where their unique suite of properties makes...
متن کاملAcoustic emissions analysis of damage in amorphous and crystalline metal foams
Acoustic emission methods are used to investigate the nature and evolution of microfracture damage during uniaxial compression of ductile amorphous and brittle crystalline metal foams made from a commercial Zr-based bulk metallic glass, and to compare this behavior against that of aluminum-based foam of similar structure. For the amorphous foam, acoustic activity reveals evolution of the damage...
متن کاملStochastic metallic-glass cellular structures exhibiting benchmark strength.
By identifying the key characteristic "structural scales" that dictate the resistance of a porous metallic glass against buckling and fracture, stochastic highly porous metallic-glass structures are designed capable of yielding plastically and inheriting the high plastic yield strength of the amorphous metal. The strengths attainable by the present foams appear to equal or exceed those by highl...
متن کاملAmorphous Mg-based metal foams with ductile hollow spheres
To date, high compressive ductility and energy absorption have been achieved in amorphous metal foams based on high-toughness Pdand Zr-based metallic glasses and are known to result from two extrinsic toughening mechanisms: bending of struts and shear band arrest by pores. We study here a syntactic amorphous metallic foam produced by infiltration of a bed of hollow crystalline iron spheres with...
متن کاملMicrotomography of Amorphous Metal during Thermo-plastic Foaming
Low density metallic foams of consistent controlled morphology offer improved unique material and mechanical properties, yet they have eluded traditional metallurgical engineering methods. A new method to produce metallic foam through a thermo-plastic expansion process has been discovered and characterized with microtomography. The new foaming process enables porosities unachievable through tra...
