Cellular structure and energy absorption of AlCu alloy foams fabricated via a two-step foaming method

Two-step foaming (TSF) method is one of cost-effective ways to prepare shaped, closed-cell Al alloy foams with a thick surface layer, which can provide good energy absorption property. In this study, we designed 27 groups orthogonal experiments based on Taguchi method to investigate the effects of k...
