چکیده

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 a low-toughness Mg-based metallic glass Mg60Cu21Ag7Gd12 . After quenching to vitrify the matrix, this foam exhibits much higher compressive failure strain and energy absorption than the monolithic metallic glass, an improvement which is assigned to an intrinsic mechanism, i.e., composite toughening by the network of hollow ductile iron spheres. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.

Amorphous metal foams

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 prope...

Acoustic 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...

Static Compression and Resonance Vibration Tests on Cellular Materials Gravity Sintered from Hollow Bronze Spheres

Metallic foams and cellular solids represent a relatively new class of materials with perspective applications in lightweight structures, in acoustic and thermal management, in energy-absorbing parts, etc. Efficient use of these advanced materials requires detailed information on their mechanical behaviour, even when their primary use is not linked to mechanical loading (e.g., thermal insulatio...

Plasticity and damage in cellular amorphous metals

Compressive mechanical properties of low-density, open-cell Zr-based bulk metallic glass foams processed by the salt replication method are investigated as a function of relative density and pore size in the ranges 14–28% and 150–355 lm, respectively. Scaling behaviors for strength and stiffness are discussed in the context of models developed for conventional metal foams, and appropriate modif...
