TI  - On the Way to Real Applications: Aluminum Matrix Syntactic Foams
AB  - In recent times, aluminum matrix syntactic foams (AMSFs) have become considerably attractive for manyindustries such as automotive, aviation, aerospace and composite sector due to their features of low density,good compression strength, perfect energy absorption capacity and good ductility. Since the AMSF includesfiller materials providing high porosity, it can be also named as composite foam and can be placed betweentraditional metal foams and particle reinforced composites. Glass and ceramic hollow spheres, fly ashcenospheres and ceramic porous materials are usually used in the AMSFs, but, lately, different types of fillersbeing cheaper and stronger have also being investigated. Although many scientific efforts have been made forthe last decade to understand mechanical and physical properties of these advanced materials, studies havemainly been performed on relatively small size samples and remained in laboratory. Therefore, there is still roomfor improvement in terms of fabrication techniques. In this paper, our aims are to scrutinize newest studiesabout ASMFs, to create new viewpoints and to introduce an alternative bright perspective for probable realapplications.
