Recent progress in porous Mg-based foam preparation approaches: effect of processing parameters on structure and mechanical property

Porous metals are a class of cellular materials with lightweight and unique mechanical, electrical, thermal, physical and acoustic characteristics. Magnesium and magnesium alloy foams have exhibited excellent advantages. In particular, open-cell Mg-based foams (porous Mg/Mg alloy foams) have been used for bioresorbable implants, CO2 trapping systems, filters, heat exchangers, absorbent panels and many other applications. While significant...
